Need a spray? Make sprays? Hang around this thread, and you'll be fixed up or be put to work in no time! >:D
Please stay on topic!
OH EM GEE! DId I just say that? GET OUTTA MY HEAD, lb! :p
EDIT: Changed title, deleted pointless posts and stickied!
-
<3
I do!
Wait... I'll be back in a minute...
Okay back. Anyway I'm really uncreative and boring at these which is why I wanted someone else to make it. So... surprise me :)
-
muh?
Obviously I can change anything you want. Is this even in the correct direction of something you could be looking for? Just hit me with some feedback ^_^
(http://www.autominer.org/delta/dubbilex/u235spray3.jpg)
-
I might steal that for the official nuked post pic ^_^
-
Not bad, but will that work in-game as a pldecal.wad? I used to have something really badass but when I put it into the automatical decal shredder, it compresses it down to about 20 pixels and removes half the colors...
-
well of course that's not what it'll look like ingame: it has to fit the right pixel dimensions. I only posted it that big so you could see it, nub v_v :p
Here it is in its...petite, workable form: (it looks much larger ingame - about the height of a marine standing up.
(http://www.autominer.org/delta/dubbilex/u235spray3jpg.jpg)
The wad is attached - tell me if it doesn't work for some reason. If you want any changes, I'd be happy to make them ^_^
-
Niether can I :\, is that like a ninja?
EDIT: May I use that base picture and add something like Xod-666 instead?
Of course with both dubbs and u235's permission.
-
I don't want our sprays similar :(
Nice work Dubber, thanks :)
-
Very sexy dubbie. Nice :)
-
Wait....so does it work ingame? :huh:
-
Wait....so does it work ingame? :huh:
Yes, it works, and quite well. Thanks :)
-
My pleasure :)
If anybody else needs some help to make a spray, just hit me up ^^
-
/me hits up Dubb. ME NEED SPRAY! :o
-
Awrighty then. What kinda leet stuff do you want on said spray?
-
Allright, Commie. I've made this so far - give me and crits that you can think of or and additions or subtractions that you want to make :)
-
God that rocks hard <3
-
Ya know what? I can't get this bad larry to work right at the mement. I'm not sure if its on my side, but tell me if it works for you as-is. If not, I'll get back to the grind o_O
Anyways, if anybody else needs a spray don't be afeared to ask: I'd be glad to do it for you ^^
-
Fixed. Just replace the pldecal.wad with the one in steamapps/halflife/ns dir. :D
-
I'd like a spray! One that I could use in NS, and SvenCoop. :help:
Surprise me. :p
-
I'll get crackin', lb ^^
Do you have any ideas or suggestions that you wanna see on it, or do you truly wanna be surprised?
Trust me - Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears aren't out of my league >:D
-
LB, do you have the full sized version of your avatar? I know it's around the web somewhere...
-
I can make sprays too, if anyone wants me to.
-
/gives the burden to Grimm.
Listen to the man! ^^ :p
-
LB, do you have the full sized version of your avatar? I know it's around the web somewhere...
Nope. I just have this.
-
Allright. Here's my first attempt:
-
I want one too!! Please?
-
Whoa that is a sweet spray Dubb. I'd like one, but I don't know what I would want for sure.
-
I can see that he wants to get in on the action, so Grimm and I will divvy the workload up :)
I'll let him make a leet spray for one, and I'll do the one that he doesn't choose :)
-
rofl I wonder how you would make mine...
-
I have the full sized version of his avatar. Well, not exactly the same image, but the same scene (Smith all cloudy-ish fire-y).
Found it on a Matrix review page on Yahoo that had a bunch of images a while back, lemme see if I can find it in my 'junk' folder on my desktop...
Here we go:
-
i want one, somthing animeish yea...!
-
Not bad. Maybe make the text or background darker?
-
*grunt*
You talkin' to me? Or Grimm?
-
Well, this is what it looks like game-sized. As you can tell, the background is considerably darker ^^
-
And meh. While I'm at it, i'll showcase my first drat for malevolent's spray.
I was a bit confused as to what to actually put on his spray, so I found a leet starcraft picture - from what I gather, you're a hardcore SC fan, no? :)
Please - tell em of anything that you want changed: color, placement, style, picture, anything.
-
oooooooo purdy o:
-
Yeah I like StarCraft. Nice spray, but I guess that font just doesn't strike me as what I wanted (I'll check to see if I have a specific one I'd like). Also I think I'd like something to do with the Protoss more. Sorry that you just did that whole thing. :(
EDIT: I can't think of any really good Protoss pics, and Terran works better for the marines so stick with them. I guess I'd just like a more striking picture, if you know what I mean.
-
Nice GTA3-esque font, where'd you find it?
-
Dunno, the font for mine is really hard to make out at that size o_O
-
Allright fine. I'll sacrifice coolness for readability. :p
I'll rework both sprays.
-
OMG HIJACK! (sorry Dubb! ^^ **gives pai to Dubb** )
hey LB, how about something like this? I can change the font if you want. this font is just to fit in with the matrix theme.
-
...or like this? (for Smith's fire theme)
-
this looks pretty good too... (because it's cool)
sorry about triple posts... and the hijacking, but i just had to do it. nothing against ya dubbie! ^^
-
Well damn it, those are good! As Fewpid would say, WtFhax! :o
I must say, the last one is easiest to read...
I'll compromise! I'll use both <3
While we are at it, who wants to turn my avatar blue? It needs to fit well with the NS forums as well, so maybe it isn't worth it.
-
I would ask for a spray but I'm kinda scared at what you guys may come up with.... :p
Hell with I have a sense of humour! Get meh a spray please!
-
Chiefly, I was trying to find a font style and font that was readable at the size of a spray. That's just the problem - most cool fonts with cool effects look like real crap when the spray is 80 pixels high ^^
And trust me, Thorax - I don't mind. As a matter of fact, lb's the one that made this thread and put me in this position anyhow :lol:
-
Oooooh man. Some of these are nice :)
Can I request one?
-
Hey Dubb, I found two fonts I like. They're called Beast Impacted (Click (http://www.abstractfonts.com/fonts/search/full_listing.htm?kw=impact)) and Fusion, Regular (Click (http://www.abstractfonts.com/fonts/search/full_listing.htm?kw=fusion)).
EDIT: Pick whichever works the best with the pic I guess.
-
The Fusion regular font will show up much, much better - all the graininess of the Beast Impacted font will seriously crapify the low-pixel final image. ^^
-
Here you are, malevolent - I ended up just redoing it.
Is this even close to what you were looking for?
-
There that is the pic I want (w/o the black bars). I like how you did the things to the other pic tho. It looks like you added scan lines (if not I'd like them, please) which I like. Then that second semi-transparent layer looks good. So, just do almost the same thing you just did, and I think you'll finally be finished with my extensive spray.
-
While we are at it, who wants to turn my avatar blue?
I'll do it. ^^
-
Malevolent - buh?
-
Nice. What about my spray? :(
-
Oops... I suppose I shouldn't, like, forget about the forums for a day (kinda busy yesterday, was at my friend's, then chorse 'n' homework 'n' stuff, then played games).
If you'd like me to try out a spray for you (y'ou' meaning 'anybody here'), just say so, and make sure you say Grimm directly to avoid confusion.
I'm awfully cheerful at the moment, and I have no idea why...
-
Grimm directly to avoid confusion.
-
Malevolent - buh?
I like. Very nice. Thanks for going through all that.
-
wewt ^^
I'm not at the correct computer right about now - when I get on it, I'll post the wad (which should be sometime tonight) :)
-
Nice. What about my spray? :(
Depends , lb. You've gotta choose one to use first :p
-
I DID!
(http://www.lunixmonster.net/forums/uploads/post-12-1070431825.jpg)
:help:
-
Here's the pldecal.wad. Don't know how it will look in game, the font got kinda smushed in when I resized it.
Edit: Different spray image, reloaded into the same spot.
-
mebbe you should make the images so that they will look the same when resized into the correct format? :D, heres one webpage with all legal sizes :)
*edit* omg bai suk site, I found the one I <3, http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~wss/table.php (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~wss/table.php)
-
Yea, I've been using that site for spray sizes and such, but theres a problem with it: It says the max size is 12,288 pixels total (width x heigth), but Wally only allows just above 10,000.
-
Just a quick notice to all:
There seems to be a problem with being able to see other people's sprays on Steam games. LB and I tested out his new sig, but all I and others on the server ever saw was a little red splotch. Gonna be trying to figure this out, maybe its just a glitch in something somewhere.
-
Yes, wally accepts pictures with pixel areas of over 10000 - how else do you think any of the textures in the official ns wads (with many 256 x 256 textures) were converted to wads? ;) :p
It's just most important to remember that the dimensions must be multiples of 16 and cannot equal or exceed 12, 288 (even if it equals, it will not work). Also, They usually will not work if they are over 15 kb in size ^^
And about the 'other players not ebing able to see'? I believe that to be strictly a specialized problem. When each game starts, STEAM (as well as ol' vanilla WON half-life) check for other pldecals to download that you don't already have cached on your own hard drive - until the said decal is downloaded and cached, those players who are still downloading it won't be able to see it. It can take any amount of time for everyone to get the pldecal. Otherwise, I'm just not sure what the crap could be wrong... :blink:
To those who still want sprays: give me a bit of imformation. PM me, if you will, with at least some ideas - I need at least something to work off :huh:
And Malevolent - I apologize for the long wait - my intarweb had been on the crazy side for the past few days. Here be the spray, in finished wad form:
-
Thanks again Dubb.
-
Erm... Oops, wrong thread (for the original post).
Anyway, I havn't forgotten about your spray request, AgentOrange, I've just been getting some various ideas together, and I'd like to try to solve the problem where others can't see your own spray that Lightning_Blue and I ran into the other night.
-
Do you think you can make a Signature for me Dubb or Grimm? Maybe a Marine firing with a Machine gun or something. Thanks, and btw. Glad to be around in the forums :lol:
-
I could certainly whip something up for you :)
Unfortunately, I've been busy as crap lately (hence why I haven't been able to play NS for a week or so).
I should be clearing my schedule by tonight - I'll get working on a signature for you as soon as that happens ^^
*edit* Ah yes. And welcome :)
-
Well, I made a Signature for myself, and I do like it, just wanted to know how I can cool text like you guys. Like ThoraX and stuff ;x
-
Just search Google for free fonts, and then click on some sites. There are a ton of different fonts out there.
-
Hey Dubb can u make me a spray plz??? :D
-
Raistlin, try this one, made from the image you showed me in irc.
-
Dubb I got tired of my original one...could you whip up a new one for me? I'd like my name to be completely written though and not just CWAG...people ask "HEY YOU WANTS A KWAG!!???!!!"
-
could someone make me one?
something to do with a fatteh...
-
bm needs one too ... preferably with "Black Mage" and a bm-type icony thing
http://www.planetnintendo.com/ff1/gchar.shtml (http://www.planetnintendo.com/ff1/gchar.shtml) <-- 56k beware
use the battlesprites (near the bottom) because the worldsprites (top) == icky
-
Yea, I've been using that site for spray sizes and such, but theres a problem with it: It says the max size is 12,288 pixels total (width x heigth), but Wally only allows just above 10,000.
olll remember, red = doesnt work, as stated by.... someone else, look up you lazy nubs! :). Just making this clear so people dont go "so..... red is what works and green is what doesnt?" Since that number is clearly red and the highest number that that website says works is 11520.
-
Wow - jebus, this thread had gotten away from me. I dunno how I missed the last few requests. ^^
Well, thankfully Christmas vacation (not to mention a weekend) is here, so I'll see what I can get whipped up for y'all :)
-
ok... i need a spray...
i'm not that artistic, so i dunno what i want. what would be cool tho is just BlaqWolf written graffiti style. i would like that.
or whatever. this is just if some one doesn't have anything to do and wants to make a sweet spray for some one :D
woot
-
How do you make sprays work? My friend made a spray for me and I used wally and when I join a server and spray it's the default one and I used a custom spray for steam before but i don't know why it doesn't work now? And yes it's the required size and all that stuff
-
Theres a lot of rules you gotta follow to make a spray for HL.
At the moment, I can't seem to get any sprays working on Steam, so I've given up for now until I can find out whats wrong.
-
anyone feeling like making me a spray? Just use my sig and resize it or modify it however you wish. I'm feeling lazy.
-
I need another copy of my spray (Mine went AWOL) and I can't seem to download it from the attached file.
EDIT: Gah finally went, took about ten minutes though :(
-
need that "Hidden Sensory Chamber --->" spray. Thats hilarious
-
I found it on the ns.org forums. But good luck finding it again with the broken search function. It was in a 'funny screenshots' thread, that linked me to another thread.
-
The sensory chamber one is funny. Saw it awhile back and cracked up. It is also useful if you actually use it.
-
i have it at home, i'll upload it when school goes bai
-
you lied :(
-
Do wad files go in ns or nsp? I tried both and spray still doesn't work and tried to go to other servers and still doesn't.
-
It's a bit confusing - apparently for steam decals to work, they need to be named "tempdecal.wad" and must be below 12 kb in size. :blink:
-
As I remember, you have to copy it to the game's folder, name it pldecal.wad, then copy it again and name it tempdecal.wad. The make them read only so steam doesn't change them back next time you go into your options. Also in one of the subfolders is a remapped.bmp which is your current spray. I deleted that while trying to get it to work, and I'm not sure if that helped or not. I think it's really just the pic it shows you when you look in your settings, so probably just the pldecal and the tempdecal are all you need to worry about.
-
could you make me a spray that is just two rows of open jaws, so when i get a kill, I can spray this on their head, adn it will look like the floor has teeth and is eating them?
-
the teeth won't be sprayed on the player, but will show up on the floor behind him
-
i seem to have losted it ... i'll get it asap
-
Important recent discovery reguarding sprays in Steam games: The file has to be named temdecal.wad in order to appear as your spray in game.
I hadn't known this until just tonite, and it greatly helps fight my confusion with pldecal.wad files.
If you'd like a spray image for a game and you already have an image, either get the image to me or go to Wolverine's Spray Site (http://www.planethalflife.com/wss/) to learn how to do it yourself.
Thanks to Satanic Monkey and Uranium - 235 for telling me this little fix. ;)
-
Wait until you see my spray, not exactly the best but still funny when I get home from school :D
Edit: And don't forget to make sure the tempdecal.wad is read only too.
-
See, this is why it helps to read everything Bob says. I wrote that a few days ago, just a few posts up. You nubby nubkins!
Now get those nifty sprays out! I probably need to change mine, as hidden sens is becoming sort of popular now. It'll be sprayed everywhere!
-
what ever, dude, i was the first one to request hidden sens >:o
-
I could always make you a magic squiggle spray...
-
[guideinacan]
use hlcsm or wally to compile, copy to hl/mod/ folder
copy and rename tempdecal.wad and make both readonly
find server with sv_allowupload 1 and sv_allowdownload 1 make sure cl_allowupload, al_allowdownload and cl_downloadingame (i *think* those are right, can someone check?) are all 1 on your computer
won had a neat little red bar that would tell you when it was safe to spay, it can take several mins before the spray works, keep trying
[/guideinacan]
-
Hey I would like a spray. and or a sig. like just my name hence
<--------that name yeah........ and maybe like a icecycle looking design or something with cool colors and maybe my name semii transparent. i could do it but i no got photoshop :*(
-
I'll make you one Ice, I'll have it up soon.... gonna look really cool. In the meantime take a look at the one I did for my drawing sig.
-
OK IceSmacks. It's done... have a looksee. Tell me what you think, and don't be affraid to ask if you want me to change something... it is your spray after all. The next two posts will tell you how to put it into your spray folder and feel free to use the image as a sig. Have fun.
-
ok Ice. Take these two files and simply place them into your nsp folder.
should be something like C: >> Program Files >> Steam >> Steamapps >>(Your e-mail) >> half life >> nsp.
Note: Next post has second file. Can only attach one file... sorry
-
ok Ice. Heres the last file. Have fun.
-
If someone could make me and show me how to use a custom spray it would be much appreciated :D
-
IT would be cool if i got a spray jus like the Virtual On : Oratoria tangram sign!
-
I think I'll make my own Image but I'll need someone to change it into a SPRAY for me.
Can anyone do that?
-
I don't kno what is a good size for a spray so I made this one at
200 x 200 Pixles
Its just over 11kbs
If it needs to be smaller I can shrink it.
Damn the quality got a real Bitch Slap
Please feel free to alter it so the white background wont show.
-
I try messing with photo programs but I had no luck !
...was trying to get a simple background with perhaps a marine face or tsa logo, kind of layer on top of the flag.
can anyone help me out ?
-
I try messing with photo programs but no luck !
...was trying to get a simple background flag where i am originally from (luxembourg) with perhaps a marine face or tsa logo, kind of layer on top of the flag.
can anyone help me out ?
here is a link if you need a flag - perhaps one of the easier flag to make btw

Yarr - I can hook you up later tonight once I'm at my own computer.
If you can wait until then, perhaps I'll even write a wee tutorial for everyone so we can all learn how to make sprays.
*edit*
I don't kno what is a good size for a spray so I made this one at
200 x 200 Pixles
Its just over 11kbs
If it needs to be smaller I can shrink it.
The dimensions can be tricky. First, both the length and width need to be a multiple of 16 (so 200 will not do - you've gotta either go up to 208 or down to 192).
Second, when you multiply the length times the width, the number of pixels cannot exceed 12280 (200 x 200 equals 40,000) SO there's definitely going to have to be some clippage and resizing.
Damn the quality got a real Bitch Slap
Please feel free to alter it so the white background wont show.
To make it transparent you have to set a transparency color. Since it'll be difficult to explain now, I'll just include it in the tutorial :)
-
Bleh, nothing special here
made it a 256 indexed color gif with the last color being the transparent color that meets all requirements to be converted to a spray. 'Tis 96x96 and blah blah blah and all that, it works now.
-
hey umm.....i'd really like a sig/avatar, just somthing to do with my name (smae here as in-game) the bear is a good topic, just as a starter, BE CREATIVE!!! IM NOT!!! that, and my compy is scheduled to be fried tomorrow aka reformatted, so i might take a while to get back to ya. THANKS!!!
-
spray too, if anyone can
-
But I am le tired :(
P.S. There's a little button called "Edit", Mr. Double-Post :p
(http://img16.photobucket.com/albums/v47/satiagraha/edit.jpg)
-
thanks for the avatar satiagraha
-
Yeah that bear'll probably be needing a pirate hat.
-
but of course it will else you don't really fit in with the whole theme we've had going for a long time now :ph34r:
-
<--- fits to no theme.
-
Pirates need wenches.
And booty, come to think of it.
-
You can kinda combine the two, Wenches with good Bootay!
-
then go ahead and TRY and piratify my bear...its so cute and cuddly it cant possibly be a pirate
-
you really shouldn't challenge people like sati and such to piratify your avatar cause it will happen wheter you notice or not which is the truth
i mean heck they got lf's, bob's, and other's avatars pirated :ph34r:
-
i have to say i'd be a little curious how they'd manage to piratify mine :-P
-
then go ahead and TRY and piratify my bear...its so cute and cuddly it cant possibly be a pirate
You are what you eat...
-
Oh Noes! Teh Mobzorz has a long nine!
And a wench for Bob ^_^

-
thanks satiagraha
got a good laugh out of that one
-
sati, thanks.....never thought of that....
-
i told you it would be piratified and what do you they both were. nice work sati B)
-
anyone want to make me a spray? i need a fun one
-
:help:
well im playing again and i want a pretty icon for myself :E of course i lack any artistic skills or ideas to make one for myself, so im hoping one of the leet artists here can do it :D
from the admin icon thread:
1) Create a new image, transparent. Size may be 1x1 up to about 30x30 (bigger gets cut off), and doesn't have to be square. Anything smaller than about 20 height won't fill up the whole space next to your name
2) You have two options:
a) monochrome: fill your image in with varying levels of grayscale. Request a certain color (999 is white. 899 is off-white, missing a little red. 009 is pure blue, etc.). The darker parts of the image will pick up darker color, the lighter parts will be lighter
c) colored: fill your image in with the actual colors you want it to be, and request color 999
3) Save the image as a .tga with the filename in the form 640_something.tga
4) A little box will pop up. Choose 32 bits/pixel, and make sure the Compress RLE box is checked.
thats the photoshop instructions as stated by j
i'm looking for something either admin-banhammer ish or something to represent my name, if i come up with any other ideas ill edit them into this. pref a color that looks good on the scoreboard, nothing too dark :D
thanks in advanced to anyone who wants to try ;)
-
Request 999
[attachmentid=772]
-
Hey could anyone make the background transparant...and then make it a spray for me? it would be soooo awesomely appreciated!
-
my GOD necro enough? Way to bring back a dead thread. I wonder what thread you'll necro next.
>_>
-
And you also link it in IRC... tisk tisk tisk :)
-
So what? It's a sticky. It's not like he bumped it.
-
Was wondering if I could be hooked up with a spray, As I am completely uncreative and unartistic and unknowledgable about making one. My name is a bit....hard I imagine. Thanks :) :)
-
I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to convert this pic to a spray for me, because my com suxx too bad to figure out how to do it... :angry: help! please! :help:
