The spray is pldecal.wad

You need a special prog to make it - I use wally which you get... somewhere. Use google.

Sprays have been a bit funny (funny - weird rather than funny - ha ha) since 1.0. Half - life logos all over the place.

Maybe 1.1 will sort this...

Anyway. There's a million and 1 pages about making a spray. Google is your friend. :)

1. find pldecal in your dod folder (use windows search)

2. Unzip the file attached above (use winzip)

3. Replace the file in 1 with the file in 2.

Easy.

I have noticed my custom sprays work on my own client-side bot server, but not on pub servers. They may be turned off by default in HLDS now...... anyone know?

Nah it's not turned off, it just doesn't seem to work. The allow_upload (or sthg) variable is on by defeault - some people turn it off to improv eserver performance, but on the GNVQ server:

[b]195.20.108.31:27020 [GNVQ] Clan Server [/blatant server plug]

I made sure the allow upload variable was enabled and it still doesn't work. So unless someone knows what's wrong, my guess is it just doesn't work properly.

I think it sometimes works on the first map you join on, but then stops working. :?

I doubt it's too high on their list of stuff to fix though...
