View Full Version : Need help on a custom spray

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

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

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.

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.
