uploading? You mean you want to use a spray? You dont have to upload it anywhere....

Make sure your image is 256x256 abd in vmt format and place the converted file in:

X:\....\Steam\steamapps\\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos\UI

vmt plugin for photoshop: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=154#p154

Then you should be good to go

no solution sorry, but i can tell you that I see a ton of sprays (mostly meant to be offensive) all over the place, so if it's a big problem it must have a solution. Google it?

I had a permission problem with Vista, if you have Vista then try right clicking the desktop shortcut snd chosing 'Run as administrator'!

Are you using Vista? If you do, you must get it to "run as administrator". These kind of annoying issues are just of many why I don't like Vista (requiring permission for EVERYTHING).

Hi,

I had the same problem, here's what you can do:

1. Create the spray file, 64 x 64, 64 x 128, 128 x 128, 128 x 256 or 256 x 256, save it it .tga format (supported by Paint Shop Pro)

2. Download Vtex from here: http://www.bloodsportgaming.com/hl2sprays/files/vtex.rar

3. Extract Vtex.rar and maintain the folder structure.

4. Copy the .tga file to the following folder: vtex\hl2\materialsrc\sprays\

5. Run the bat file tga2vtf.bat.

6. In the folder vtex\hl2\materials\sprays there should be two files, .vmt and .vtf.

7. Copy them to the following folder Steam\steamapps\[Your ID]\team fortress 2\tf[Language]\materials\VGUI\logos.

Now your spray image should be available from the drop-down menu. My logo would not show in the preview, but works fine in the game.

Hope this helps for you.
