The Decals Thread - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=thenintendork;33544300]So, I tried using that counterfit collection, and this is what I want, obviously. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2dWxf.jpg[/IMG] but this is what I get. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fKanm.jpg[/IMG] please help. I really don't want those 21,000 TF2WH credits wasted.[/QUOTE] Wait till painterly filter comes back. that's what im doing.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;33544409]Wait till painterly filter comes back. that's what im doing.[/QUOTE] well. crap. that's 21,000 credits invested in valve time. great job man. great job.

Has anyone tried to see what would happen if you made the decal template on the flair transparent and leave one square visible?

[QUOTE=tehMuffinMan;33544826]Has anyone tried to see what would happen if you made the decal template on the flair transparent and leave one square visible?[/QUOTE] Decals don't support transparency if I'm not mistaken.

[QUOTE=Rainbowmaker;33542117]I was lacking a spray,just remembered [sp]:noel:[/sp],probably first time i'll say this but [i]Thanks,Scarabix.[/i][/QUOTE] You can find the VTF for it two pages back into the "post your sprays V2" thread. Also, about the dice roll: suttles got the spacechem pin. landed a 7, right between paco and nedballad. Better luck next time!

So why was painterly removed in the first place?

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;33561549]So why was painterly removed in the first place?[/QUOTE] It caused a crash bug.

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;33561549]So why was painterly removed in the first place?[/QUOTE] Valve didn't like inverted team colors.

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;33561549]So why was painterly removed in the first place?[/QUOTE] They didn't intend to release it, they weren't done fixing it up. It will be back and better. Soon

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;33561549]So why was painterly removed in the first place?[/QUOTE] No idea, but this helps reduce the number of [sp]newt gingrich[/sp], goatse, and [B]worst of all [/B]awesome face sprays.

[QUOTE=Scarabix;33564596]No idea, but this helps reduce the number of [sp]newt gingrich[/sp], goatse, and [B]worst of all [/B]awesome face sprays.[/QUOTE] But awesome face still works, it's the one that works the best without painterly of all your choices. Not that I'd use it of course.

[QUOTE=Colour;33564715]If it isn't too much trouble could I request a Canadian Flag instead of one of the bottom flags?[/QUOTE] It kinda ruins the point of the spray, because none of the TF2 classes are canadian.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;33564729]It kinda ruins the point of the spray, because none of the TF2 classes are canadian.[/QUOTE] It's likely the Engineer migrated to Canada in an attempt to escape the sign-up of the war.

We don't know where the Pyro's from either. [IMG]http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/1340/flairspluslacanada.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Maruhai;33564729]It kinda ruins the point of the spray, because none of the TF2 classes are canadian.[/QUOTE] Well, maybe I'd like it cause I'm canadian?

[QUOTE=Colour;33564988]Well, maybe I'd like it cause I'm canadian?[/QUOTE] Yeah, but it still ruins the point of the spray, which was to show multiple countries where the TF2 characters are from. And as far as I know, you're not a TF2 character. :v:

Sweet! Looks like the game does scale the image down after reducing the colors. If you use dithering in a 256px decal, the colors will get merged.

[QUOTE=Pako;33565441] No need to pay me.[/QUOTE] Thank you again.

[QUOTE=Pako;33564780][IMG]http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/1340/flairspluslacanada.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Love this. Looks good on most of the classes. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/multinationalpridescoot.png[/img] I need a good name & desc now.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;33564819]It can be assumed that the Pyro is brittish, because of him/her being a playable character on Killing Floor.[/QUOTE] No... that's a crossover due to a promotion. Nothing cannon to it. Next up he is Mr.Foster cos he wares his mask, the same way demo is a magician from Magicka cos he has there hood.

[QUOTE=Ern;33542557]Best tools to use in this Situation: Extra Photoshop tab open, with every colour of the medal layed out for easy colour picking. Select>Colour Range will be your best friend. It'll take out a certain Colour, and keep the Shadows when you fill in the selected area with another colour (If there are any shadows.) Use layers to your advantage. When applying shadows outside the image you're applying, use a layer below said image, it'll make your life easier. And last but not least, Polygonal lasso tool is the best Photoshop tool ever. Don't use the magic wand tool, or the eraser tool to extract the part outside the image you're applying, use the Polygonal tool. It's more hassle, but it'll make the image look much better/less choppier. That's what I did at least, I hope it helped.[/QUOTE] Thanks, those tips were very useful! [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28536169/medal.png[/IMG] It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the outcome (socks because it's my in-game name)

Dithering allows for gradients and more colorful decals. [img]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6463/myditherponyflair.png[/img][img]http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/3540/godhatespickets.png[/img]

Could you maybe write up a small summary of how I would go about using those extra colors?

[QUOTE=NateDude;33570239]You sir, are a genius. Could you maybe write up a small summary of how I would go about using those extra colors?[/QUOTE] Make a checkerboard out of any two of the available colors 1 pixel in size Congratulations, you are now dithering.
