I think that is all well and good for hlds and/or hl1 What about src? I don't think the same rules apply except for maybe the dimension restrictions?

[OT] just found some more. Quoted from : http://users.erols.com/bribe/sprays/ //begin quote Dimension Rules First there are a few rules you must follow when making your image. The horizontal and vertical dimensions (in pixels) must be multiples of 16. Also, for whatever reason, servers will reject your spray if the WADfile is more than about 15kb, so this means your bmp should be no bigger than about 12kb. Quality Considerations When the logos are sprayed in the game, they are blown up to fill a certain space, and there is a certain amount of distortion because they are larger than the actual file size. You will find that your sprays look best if the long dimension is 256 or 128 pixels and I would not recommend making them with any other sizes because they will be ugly and blurry. For the short side, it does not matter quite as much, but you will achieve maximum quality if you use dimensions of 16, 32, or 64. Check out the pictures to see in-game examples of this ugliness. Because of the size limit of 15kb, this means that you will be limited to a max of 128x80 or 256x32. You can make them other sizes if you like but I would recommend 128x64 or 256x32. If your image is smaller than this, or you have shrunk it to be smaller, you can always just put the smaller image in with transparent space around the sides. This is a VERY important part of making your spray look nice! //end quote Hope this helps -- Regards, Matt White Quoting Sebastian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > actually i don't want to know how to make one.. just want to know > their limits and what the server supports. > > Matthew White wrote: > > >Try http://www.telefragged.com/wally/tutorials/hl_color_decals.html > > > >this has a guide on how to create the decals/logos for HL based games > >-- > >Regards, > > > >Matt White > > > >Quoting Sebastian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > >>OT, but i can't seem to find any info.. i looked in the sdk and on > >>the dev page. > >> > >>does anyone know the size limits of spray logos for source? > >> > >>What are the filesize limits, image size restiction and image types > allowed? > >> > >> > >> > > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. > Version: 7.0.338 / Virus Database: 267.10.12/75 - Release Date: > 8/17/2005 > > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please > visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
