How do you spray? The game says you press T, but when I do so i hear a noise and see nothing. Is there some way to set the spray image that I havent done? I have a general icon for my account...
 
upload your image here and I can resize it if you need but

you need to make an *.jpg file of whatever image you want with the pixel dimesnions being 256x256. Then upload it into TF2 by going into the Game, then settings, multiplayer. Find the spray by browsing your HD and upload it. Then press T ingame. It doesn't spray on all surfaces but most floors you can if you are testing it out.

Hm, pretty sure I've done all of that. Can you see your own spray?
 
Can someone make a simple "GIRLS LOCKER ROOM" spray with only the text and the rest is clear? I can then spray it next to the spawn room.
 
Download the gif for the transparent background if you want that. I am not sure if it allows .gif so I gave you a simple white backdrop and a pimpish red one.

The one above is the gif one.
Or this gif since the above looks like crap when I converted it to a gif.

You need a program called VTFedit to convert pictures into .vtf files that Source can read. I tried to use normal jpegs, png, etc and they didn't work.

Read this to do it:

Here is a simple method wich I'm using to import my own sprays:

1) Download VTFedit here: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=41
2) With VTFedit, Import your own .JPG,.BMP, etc... and convert it to a .VTF file (Valve Texture File)

3) Now place the .VTF file to this exact location (you'll probably have to create some folder manually but it shows exactly like this):

(your dir)\Steam\steamapps\(your username)\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos
4) To fixe the quickview appearing blank copy the same .VTF also here (you'll probably have to create the UI folder manually but it shows exactly like this):

(your dir)\Steam\steamapps\(your username)\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos\UI
5) Ingame, go to the options and click import the spray and browse for it in the \logos folder (not the UI folder!) and validate. (this will create a VMT file near your VTF)

To resume, your .VTF must reside in the last \logos and also \UI folder where you copied it manually, then don't forget to do the step 5), the spray now appear correctly in the list, I have tested to spray it ingame and it works fine.

Hope that helps some soldiers outta there, cheers!

I've seem custume anigifs in TF2 but haven't figured out how to make/import my own yet.

You set them by going to Options and clicking on the Multiplayer Tab.
 
Im confused why people have problems. Just make a jpg and then use the Multiplayer tab to browse for the file and it will upload. Is it gifs you have problems with?

For some people you have to use that conversion tool posted by Sobek.
I had too.
 
LOL at the engineer who sprayed the pron pic, then put a teleporter exit right in front of it to ensure anyone using the teleporter sees it
 
The best one I saw was an image of a sentry sprayed onto a wall, and I just had to go and try to kill the think, didn't I?

I do this all the time. Use a really disgusting but funny pr0n pic and place it near teleporter exits or somewhere everyone will see it. I cover other peoples stupid pics too. It's become a mini game with me trying to find the best place to spray.
 
I play the game and don't worry about peoples sprays, because I turn them off due to assholes spraying their favorite penis picture.

i "play the game" too but thus far have left sprays turned on, sometimes there are some really funny things and yes sometimes nasty but who cares, its not like it ruins the game for me.. and if it does get really out of hand then at least the option of turning it off is there.. ive been too lazy to actually get it to work, i cant use jpgs either
 
I just made this spray after reading this thread.

Put it on the border between the two halves of a map. Like the bridge in 2 Fort.
Steal it, use it, live it.
 
for that to work properly you in fact need to cross the line, so you can spray it so they can read it
 
any medic worth his salt would have ran through you before healing and then healed you and bonesawed you from behind while you thought you fooled him ;)
