    This is screwing me over, for Left 4 Dead I need specific height/widths, but GIMP keeps changing it up as soon as I press OK.

  2. Thankyou

  3. TNX awesome video now im GONNA

  4. i’m having the same problem as mikezenox2, someone plz reply.

  5. i have the same problem can somebody help ???

  6. Hmph.I’ve done this, made a 256×256 .tga with transparent background etc, but when I spray in game the quality is about 1/2 the quality of the image in the gimp (I have textures on very high). The file itself is still high quality when I go back to edit it in the gimp, any idea’s on getting my image better quality? :(

  7. It’s in the advanced multiplayer options.
    Also you need high or very high on textures, or it will looks like crap.

  8. OMFG! I LOVE YOU!!!!
    You don’t know how long I’ve been struggling with alpha layer bullshit. I didn’t know about the advanced options in gimp. ;x – Subscribed and rated.

  9. thanks man..

  10. i did everything and it came up as an error

  11. Hi again, it’s been a long time since I first commented.
    Will any image from Google Images work for a Spray? (After doing the procedures in the video of course)

  12. How can I set it to 1 and over ?

  13. Most likely you have decal limit set to 0. Took me hours to figure that one out lol.

  14. Same images work in TF2, HL2, and L4D for me. Upload your non-working image, and I will have a look at it.

  15. For wich game have you test it ?

  16. Worked perfectly, first try. This was extremely helpful.

  17. I have the same problem, is there a solution to this?

  18. my bad i didn’t watch all of it

  19. ive tried what you said to do it still says the size is wrong

  20. Me 2

  21. Hello I get an error message each time I try to load it says i dont have access

  22. post your spray or your .tga — i’ll take a look at it. personally, i have not run across this.

  23. Well in fact it doesn’t worked perfectly. I go in the multi player panel, I import my spray, but in game when I’m spraying, it doesn’t do anything, I just can hear the spray sound but there’s nothing sprayed on the wall.

  24. What is the original image resolution?
    Do you have your game graphic settings high enough to see the image at full res in game?

  25. There’s an other tut to help you. Type “source spray” or “team fortress spray” and a guy show you how to proceed.
