okay, im assuming you are half intelligent, but if you have any questions, leave them in this thread.
1) find the most retarded image you can think of on http://images.google.com (http://images.google.com)
The smaller it is, the better, you will see what resolutions you can use when we begin the application portion of this tutorial.
for my example I will be using this image: (https://forums.esclan.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi299.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fmm301%2Fhlmindustries%2FGrabbed%2Ffailed.gif&hash=6224f331884c5e39973b034c66a36d3e2c21c602)
now go to http://www.cstrike-planet.com/files?dl=28 (http://www.cstrike-planet.com/files?dl=28) and download the file extract it anywhere you really want, then open it
once its open, go to file -> open picture, then a dialog box will appear

this is where you select the image, do that then it will look something like this..
next go to options -> half-life games folder

once you add that, go to decal -> make decal
choose tfc, then press ok, then press ok in the dialog box

now.. go to your tfc directory, and you will have a new file called pldecal.wad, rename it to tempdecal.wad and right click it, go to properties and select read-only, press okay then have a fucking awesome time! :D!

Doesnt appear to work using Windoz 7 - at least the 64bit version. Worked flawlessly using Windoz XP.
are you running it as an administrator? because it DOES need to make a file afterall..
Yes, tried running as admin, and tried running it in win xp compatibility mode. Only worked on the wifes laptop that runs XP.
Makes sense, If i remember correctly, the decal converter only works with 32 bit OS's.
Now you tell me, screwed around with it for a good hour before saying the hell with it and trying it on the wifes computer. Frustrated the hell out of me.
Stoopid windoz.
Some picture that you make may not turn out well, it is just in the resizing that it messes them up. I have a few pictures I made but they never turned out so no one will see those sprays (Unfortunately)
If there was a way to clean them up so they actually looked good I am open to suggestions
Thanks bra ;D
I also tried this today... It does not like 64 bit os's.
I'm sorry to hear that, during my time off (which is non-existant) I will look into a 64 bit solution
Lame. Doenst work with Windows 7 D=
Yeah I have to agree. I cant verify if it will work or not in W7 32 bit but it doesnt work in the 64b version.
Stoopid windoz.
