i have been to many different servers and on many of them i have seen people using their own sprays. using colour pics to advertise their clans or other things... i have been trying for ages to figure out how to do this with no luck...so far i know that i need to place a .bmp picture in the logo folder that needs to be of size 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 32x32 or 64x64 and i think needs to be less than 10k in size. if its 256 colours or less then it is black and white. if i try this the pic that get sprayed is unreconisable. if i go for a 16 bit colour size to 32x32 that is 6k the picture will come up in customise but when i spray it i just get half life's V logo. can some one please tell me what am i doing wrong, and please tell me how to make a good colour logo that i can spray
thanks

Use 24bit ( I think ) and it should work. I use 128x64 which makes a rectangle...also use Wally to import it into the game and Cyber-Rat have a very good tutorial

Some servers dont let you display your own custom logos, if you get the default half life sign this may be the case.

Best thing to do is start your own server and join wait a few rounds and see if you can spray your custom logo, if you can its working but the servers u play on dont let you show it.

To find out correctly how to make logos and place them in wad files go to:

Bots are not worth it, they dont promote the same gameplay as humans. Also you will have to constantly admin the server to add/remove bots.

Bots are too good compared to most people on internet servers

bots are no problem... i have just found pod bot at http://www.nuclearbox.com/podbot/
these babys you can change their settings to be easy targets to shoot or hard enemys to avoid... i find them so cool.... well it is a novelty for now and i bet that it will soon go away. But i have been leaving a tfc server on night after night and not one person will join. but now after making a small little bot war zone im getting 1 or 2 people who want to join in. and if we get lots of people then i can say byby bots and hello real people :)

I think bots are good for having a mess around if you are playing on a level you don't know so well. Or if you are playing on the opposite team you would normally do
