Wally texture editor. Textures have to be edited in paint first to multiples of 16x16 pixels. or 16x16 units in VHE if you want to put it that way. THen save it in your spraypaint.wad file

I dont think it's spraypaint.wad, Wild Card - isn't it pldecal.wad?

SnarkSepiroth, resize the image you want to turn into a spraypaint into
multiples of 16 (eg 160x160). Use something like Photoshop/Paint to do
it..

Then, download Wally (
http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=files&game=HL ) and do a
batch conversion of the file you saved (bmp & jpg will work as well
as a couple of others). The drop down menus are fairly easy to follow.

Save your file as pldecal.wad and put it in your Half-Life/Steam folder - should be able to spray it now!

i dont use a custom spray any more. but i read that with the introduction of steam, there was a change in how it should be named.

isn't it meant to be tempdecal.wad now?
