Creating custom spray logos for Counter-Strike
Source
Making custom spray logos & tags for Counter-Strike has never been so easy!
The new source engine allows users to import their own spray logos without all
that complex work of converting colour tables & editing cfg files etc. Now
even a complete newbie to Counter-Strike & computers can create their own
sprays without any knowledge require but that of a simple graphics program like
that of Adobe's Photoshop.
Here how it's done in 3 easy steps
STEP 1.
Open up your graphics program, here I'm using Adobe's Photoshop 6. Drag or open
up the image you wish to use for your spray logo in your chosen graphics
package, cut, edit or add any text until you are happy with the final spray
logo.
STEP 2.
Before saving your final logo you need to resize it to the correct size
required in Half-Life 2. The require sizes are 128x128, 128x256 or 256x256. I
would recommend you use 256x256 pixels for the best result & quality. Once
you have either resized your image or better still designed your image based on
a 256x256 pixel canvas (for improved quality) all you need to do is save the
image as a .JPG file... It can be RGB or Indexed Colour table it really doesn't
matter.
STEP 3.
Finally load up Half-Life 2 or Counter-Strike Source and on the main game menu
(hit 'ESC' key if you are in a live game to return to the main menu) on the
menu you will see 'Options' and under Options you should find the spray logo
section. On this screen you will see the 'Import' image/logo button. Click this
& then browser to the logo file you saved on your hard drive. If you
created the logo to the correct size you should have no problem in importing
it. Once Imported you should see your logo in the browser window and you are
now ready to hit the servers to test your new spray.
BINDING A KEY
Before you can spray your new logo in servers you will need to bind a key. The
default key for spraying logos is 'T' but if you wish to change this all you
need to do is edit your user.cfg or type in the game console:
bind <key> "impulse 201"
NOTE.
You can create many logos and by returning to the option screen you can change
your logo as and when but your logo will only change when the server map
changes. So if you find your logo has been changed in the option screen yet
still displays your old logo image you many need to wait until the map or
server restarts before it updates.
