Title: Getting this spray into a VTF file format
Post by: Rhombicuboctahedron on February 13, 2012, 12:54:48 AM

I've been having trouble getting this spray I made into VTF format, but its been a real hassle, could anyone help me? And yes, this is for Gmod.

I only need to get this in a VTF file format.

I'm pretty certain Paint.NET allows you to change sprays into VTF format, but I can't be too sure. I'm pretty certain GMod also accepts another file format, but I can't remember what one it is, might be called TRG, but I dunno for sure. I'll have a look when I get back to my PC (in about fie minutes), and then edit this.

I'm trying to get it into VTF format, not edit a VTF.

I think PNG formats work too, but if you really need it into a VTF, I have no clue.

yeah you can rename your spray to anything, vtf's allow name changing.

place it in garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/vgui/logos

Thanks, and how did you get it into VTF? When I use GIMP and the VTF plugin it keeps giving annoying errors.

Photoshop with vtf plugin.

You alternatively can download VTFEdit, and export the file in there.

Oh. The Gimp plugins a piece of shit, won't work even though I do what it says to do.
