We will be going through the entire process in one go. Now that you are done with either the GIMP walkthrough or the Photoshop walkthrough, it is time to guide you through VTFEdit. Consider using it for pixel-art sprays when you need the extra frames, like this guide's avatar. It serves a great purpose for sprays and can help keep the file size lower without causing compression artifacts to the colours. However, using these formats will increase your spray file size by a lot so it is not suitable for sprays with many frames or with big texture resolutions.īGR565 is similar to BGR888 except it has a limited colour depth. The BGR888, BGRA8888 and BGR565 formats are uncompressed formats, giving you the best looking spray quality. The limited colour depth is more noticeable on certain colours. The downside is that the colour depth is slightly decreased, but the compression does a good job hiding it for the most part. This means that they will be the best options to use if you want to have the most amount of frames or the biggest resolution. The DXT formats (DXT1 and DXT5) are compressed formats.
In order to ensure that the spray does not exceed the 512 KB limit it is important to know how many frames you can afford to use depending on the chosen image format (compression) and resolution. This is a limit for sprays in all Source games made by Valve. If a spray does not stay under that limit then it cannot unfortunately be used as a spray. [Important thing to note when it comes to making sprays is that they cannot exceed 512 KB in file size. Keep in mind that external tools can be used to turn videos into separate images if you happen to only be able use GIMP and need a workaround.
