When you create a VTF from the overview TGA how do you go about making the image the right size, i run at 1280x1024 so the screenshot i took is using that resolution, how do i make it a division of 16 without destroying the position data?

Wiki (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Overview)

Does the red line come up? you have to switch cl_drawhud to 1 once it is all lined up so the red line comes up then you screen shot it.
Once in photoshop then just crop it at 1024x1024 along the red line...

Yeah, yeah, i found it, the other tuts i read didn't say anything about that, thanks man

Don't follow what they say in that tutorial about the red line...

Heres what I do for a better looking product...

Turn on the red line.
Center the map between the left side and the red line.

I think that lining up the map with the right side on the red line is stupid and makes for a fugly product.


Heres another tip for easy creation.
For easier movement to line things up, spawn on a team then go spectator. DO NOT MOVE YOUR VIEW. If you look around with your mouse it will make things more difficult...know what I mean?

I got a bunch more tips I should put in a tutorial for making offical looking ones, but that will have to wait till I get some time.
