It seems I can't get sprays to work correctly in the new SteamPipe
opt-in beta. I put a spray .vtf file containing the image I want in
materials\vgui\logos\, and import the spray through the Multiplayer
options tab. It recognizes my spray's name in the list, and cl_logofile
shows this as my current spray, but the spray picture in the box either
appears completely black (mind you, this is NOT the purple checkerboard,
just black), or randomly flickers with my spray image appearing only
slightly.
I also can't see other player sprays, but I can hear people spraying on
the walls (the spray can sound) and see them looking at "invisible"
sprays. My sprays are also invisible. I have read that sprays are
supposed to be downloading in the user_custom folder, but I do not see
any .vtf files, only .dat files. What's interesting is, when you rename
these .dat files to .vtf, they become viewable, but still don't work
in-game. I have tried deleting these sprays from user_custom but they
still appear invisible when I restart TF2.
I have sprays enabled in Advanced Multiplayer Options, and r_decals is
set to 4096, ensuring it's not disabled on my end. If it matters, my
custom content download setting is set to "Do not download custom
sounds" like it always has been. This never occurred prior to opting in
the SteamPipe beta.
Any comments on this? Are others experiencing this?
