I have tried countless times to make a good looking spray and they all come outt looking crappy, for a lack of a better word.

What i would like is this made into a clear looking correct size spray.

You will most likely get banned from multiple servers for using such a spray and in my opinion its cheating. So i surely wont.

distraction, spray it on the wall, the allies shoot at it while you kill them, could be considered an exploit, but it is a good way to train and improve your aim while moving and shooting

It looks like you have 2 problems:

1) The Blue Halo -
this is done when you add the blue before you make it indexed. PhotoShop and other similar programs try to blend the edges of images so that there is no harsh edge, easier on the eyes, makes pictures look better, but, also makes the blue line because there is an outline of off blue on your guy (0,0,255 is what you want, 1,0,255 will not be transparent in game) - do this:
get the picture cropped down to just him, no blue, no background, where it is blue erase it down to transparent (checker-board back)
then size it (I think it was 64-pixels)
then index it (must be 256 colors, keep one as transparent)
then in the Index-Table, change the transparent into your 0,0,255 blue.
works like a charm ;)

2) Sizing issues -
For the spray to be effective (trick the enemy) you need the spray to be no taller than 64-pixels, this is about 1/2 the allowed size, and since your pic is over 300 pixels tall there will be some major distortion. Back when I played CS (5 years ago) I tried making some of these decoy sprays, and it was funny to see how many people actualy shot at it (I did that guy with a red headband) - no real fix, this is dependant on the WAD the mapper used for his walls.

It is funny, and that is about it. I can't see it being a cheat, it might make someone shot at him once or twice, but the resolution isn't enough to have someone shoot a full clip in him, run up, stab him then call an admin on you for making him waste ammo and break his knife
