I'm using Gimp, not photoshop. Everything is made, I just can't get the image in a 32 bit format.

Its a transparent spray, with a black biohazard sign on the top-middle. Than, underneath, it says "Executive Officier". Below that is "ZM" than a tiny bit below that, next to it on its right is "Graves". I put it in the 28 Days Later font, so it looks snazzy.

Its all black, the text and bio sign. I saved it as a Tga file, but when I went to upload it, It says it is not supported, and the only Tga format supported is 32 bit and below.

How the hell do I change it to a 32 bit? I've spent an hour trying to figure it out.

Yea, I've edited images a lot, signatures and avatars and the works, but I still couldn't get mine to work with CS:S. I'd also like the answer.


it says "Executive Officier".

Maybe you should change that to "Officer." :P

send me the file your working with in maybe png format so i can see where you want it transparent and i'll see if i can do it.

or upload it here and i'll convert is it in 256 by 256 res and what format is it saved as. what bit is at now?

I make my own transparent sprays in photoshop

I got it to be transparent, but I can't get it in the right format.

Here is the spray, in Gif Format.

Incase somebody wants to re-make it for me, I used the 28 Days Later font. Just google it if you have to. As for the biohazard sign, I just googled "Biohazard" in google images, and it should be the first. I simpley resized it to make it smaller.

My original intentions was to make the sign all fadey and decay looking like the font, but I was too lazy to figure out how. Not only that, but I couldn't figure out how to get it in the right format, so I spent most of my time trying to figure that out.

P.S. to Riggs: Ummm no. my title is EO, short for Executive Officer. I like the sound of that, so it stays ;)

lol just made it and testing it on the server.

he said officer cause you spelled it wrong and was correcting you.

I made it but around the biohazard you can see the white outline i'll make it again but from scratch.

What font is that?

Graves
27 Jun 2007, 02:27pm
its the 28 Days Later font. Just give it a quick google search.

p.s. I really appreciate you fixing it for me. I owe you 1. Just 1. :p

kk, well when you get a chance just get rid of those white edges.

Question: What exactly did you do? I use Gimp, not Photoshop so mine is alittle different.

The General

i am using photoshop

I made the dimensions 256 x 256

using 300 pixels per inch for god quality.

was working on a decayed biohazard but it didn't turn out that good.

can't seem to get rid of the damn white glow right now. maybe if i made the biohazard sign smaller. lol or made it white too.lol
UPDATE
looks better i think now

I more meant that you said "Officier," not that you should remove "Executive."



That biohazard render has terrible edges. Nice fix on it, General.

You should put a small border around it.

I like the first one, looks nice. The decay one looks kinda choppy.

Yes, PredictaRiot, Im gonna make yours now. Its gonna end up like mine though. General, I hope its not too much trouble making another one for Predict? I can make it, like last time, you just have to make the format correct.

I'll update this thread when I'm done. Shouldn't be too long.

Graves

Ok, PredictARiot, I made your spray. Now we just need to get it in the right format.

I made the "A" seperate from the "Predict" & "Riot" so it stand out alittle more. If you don't like it, be honest. I can fix it to however you like.

Would you mind explaining what you do to make it transparent and compatible with CS:S? What format? What process? What dimensions, size, etc.?

The General

using photoshop

I make them 256 x 256 mostly with a 72 dpi

file format targa ".tga"

the process kind of long to explain "not that much when doing it but too much for me to type right now.
