Take your time, schools more important.

We need some rules to make it easier for CT's since we are not usually productive :D

Haha, Jail-Wars ftw.

Lol that will be an empty mini-clan XD. Also, make a group on the forum for the xG:R group so you can pick and choose people.

We have a public Steam group :D

Also, I tried a Skill Surf Server, but nobody joined. It was up for 3 weeks.

Hmm all I have in my closet is a 12 pack of Sierra Mist which looks like it's about to explode, since the can is stretched! 0.0

P.S Trolling is a good thing here. :3

We are doing everything we can.

You're doing great as I hear, Sprinkles.

 

Keep up the awesome work.

Any good Chinese place is my day.

Unless you want to go through a hundred maps, why not make it a "How to Rebel" guide, but make it funny, and make it like a 50s survival guide.

Here is what I mean :3

Also, if you were to narrate it, make sure the narrator talks very fast and with a stereotypical 50s accent.

I agree with Dave. Shot for Shot is pretty broken without fair rules.

Ero: His spelling is awful - I'm afraid a translator cannot spell correctly for anyone.

So I didn't bother wording it myself or correcting his spelling.

Alright, so I will show you guys how to make a spray.

However, I can't do this in one day, but it will be finished in the next few days.

What you Need:

Adobe Photoshop CSX (You CANNOT use Photoshop Elements since it does not have the alpha layer feature.)

VTFLib (To convert the image)

Ok, open Photoshop CS5, and click on the 'File' tab, and click 'New'.

Use these settings:

 

Then, put the photo on the field, and apply the transformation. To make a picture bigger, keeping the ratio, hold shift and then drag it either bigger or smaller.

When you are done making the spray, go to 'File' and click 'Save For Web and Devices'.

 

Now, the spray MUST be a small file size, so I use 70 as quality and I use a jpeg since it is heavily compressed.

 

Click 'Save' and save it to the Desktop or where ever you want.

Now all you have to do is follow the VTFLib instructions at the bottom of the post!

 

How to make a transparent spray!!!

 

Alright, so you wanna make a transparent spray, eh?

Ok, first, make a new photoshop project, following the same settings as above, HOWEVER, 512x512 is probably too big, since the Source Engine recognizes filesize by resolution rather than quality, so I would stick to 256x256. Make sure to make the 'Background Contents' set at Transparent. Now make your spray. Here is what I will be using:

 

Now, go to the 'Layers' tab, and click your layer. After you have done that, hold control and left click the small box at the right of the layer. This will select everything that you made in the picture.

 

After you have done that, click the 'Channels' tab and then click the following button:

 

 

It will create a new alpha layer, which is recognizable by the Source Engine. What it creates looks like this:

 

The Source Engine recognizes the white as having content, while the black is recognized as being transparent. If you were to make the black part a greyish color, it would be half transparent. This is how many textures are made.

Now, go to the 'File' tab, and click 'Save As' and save it as a TARGA (or TGA) format.

 

Now, it will ask you a few more question on how you want the TGA file to be. Use the following settings, or the Source Engine won't pick up your spray correctly:

 

Click ok, and you are done with the hard part. All you have to do now is import the file into VTFLib. Just follow the instructions at the bottom to do this.

 

How to convert the photo with VTFLib

 

Open up VTFLib, and click 'File' and then click 'Import'.

 

The photo should be imported,

Now, you need to click on the 'Info' tab, and check the file size.

The size of the image MUST be 220Kb or less. ANYTHING ELSE WILL NOT WORK!!!

Mine, for example, IS WAY TOO BIG, AND ANY SOURCE GAME WILL NOT USE IT, SO I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THE IMAGE SIZE SMALLER!!!

 

Alright, so if the filesize fits the criteria, then you are almost done :D

Now, press CTRL+SHIFT+S and save to the following folder:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/YOUR USER NAME/counter-strike source/cstrike/materials/VGUI/logos

You must put BOTH files into that folder, and CS:S will automatically pickup the sprays, so you don't have to browse for them.

Congratulations, your new spray will work!!!

 

Alright that is it for now! Be sure to donate to this amazing clan if this helped you or if you want to support us!

That is not a valid Steam ID. I can't ban him. :(

LULWUT?

 

This is lulz.
