My Spray...
I have been trying, without luck, to make a transparent spray without having to buy Photoshop. I've looked at a million "spray making tutorials" and found that nothing works. I used Wally as well as a number of other programs. I am now turning to my last resort... If some kind soul is out there willing to help me, ill sent you the picture in an e-mail and you could fix the background to make it transparent and send it back. If you are willing to help please PM me with your e-mail address.
Thanks,
Catcher

Re: My Spray...
Any chance we can have responses posted here? I'm just thinking this may come up again, and it would be useful info to have in the forum.

Re: My Spray...
Well, you could get PS CS2 for free, but we don't do that, and it is immoral. I'll PM you with details.
All I know is that you have to save the file in targa format. I'll figure out a way to do it, and reply here, unless someone posts a better faster response.
this might help fro now as a starting point, i'll get the whole process worked out soon.

Re: My Spray...
http://www.downloadseeker.com/downlo...5&mode=primary
this is the one that make sit the easisest
if you have a program that can make transparent images.
I'll make a detailed walkthrough asap
Legally too
I did it before, but i forgot how, can you post your proposed image, and ill try my best
this is harder than i thought. I did it before, but it no work now. too bad css doesn't support png. I have fireworks, but fireworks isn't comign through.
try this one too
http://www.reaconverter.com/
.tga is definitaly the format, but to convert it presents a problem.
I can't get the transparency to work correctly, but maybe i need to convert it twice or somethign.
lets collectivly search the all might google for an answer, i'll look first
here is a good how to for animated sprays
http://www.planethalflife.com/counte...cetutorial.htm
there also might be a specific color pattern like black/pink checker board to indicate trans[paency.
most of the high-end sprays seem to be vtf so far, i might need to look into that
i used my deductive logic to figure out that to make a transparent spray you must do 2 things
#1. Have a program to convert files into .vtf format
#2. FInd the color gray in these images
http://www.csbanana.com/?section=vie...rays.main.3895
http://www.csbanana.com/?section=vie...rays.main.3769
then you can upload the .vtf files into CS:S and use that color grey to make transparent stuff.
step 2 for me find the color grey and the program.
i am trying to dl some good "dummy" sprays that i can find a good readme file attached.
transparent imgages in CSS are vtf for sure- prime example

If you could enlarge it without making it blurred that would be awesome too.
