+ To convert a single texture, open it up then select Export from the
+ File menu. You can save as both .bmp and .jpg, but I recommend .tga as it is a lossless format
+ and preserves the alpha channel.
To convert a bunch of textures, use the Convert Folder + tool in the Tools menu. Just select an Input Folder (where your .vtf files are), an + Output Folder (where you want your .tgs files to go), enter *.vtf as the filter and press + Convert. If Recurse is checked, subfolders will also be processed.

+
+ The default settings should work (as long as your .tga has an alpha channel).
+ My recommended spray settings are:
Normal Format: DXT1 - This is a compressed RGB format that + VTFEdit will use if your texture doesn't have an alpha channel.
Alpha Format: DXT5 or DXT3 + - This is a compressed RGBA format that VTFEdit will use if your texture has an alpha channel. + Use DXT5 if your alpha channel is smooth or DXT3 if your alpha channel is sharp (i.e. you're alpha + channel is only there so your spray can be non-square - so its 0 or 255).
+
+ Generate Mipamps: Unchecked. Sprays look best when you don't use mipmaps because they aren't LOD scaled. + This will also allow you to generate larger animated textures because it uses less memory.
+
+ If VTFEdit is not generating an alpha channel then your .tga doesn't have an alpha channel. If you're + using PhotoShop, make sure you only have one layer when you export, and that this layer has an alpha + channel (you can add channels in the channels tab).

+
+ nVIDIA's nvDXTLib
+ is exceptionally unstable. The error means the library crashed; I can only recommend that you retry.
+
+ There is an update to the library which I will try to add support for in the near future. (Don't hold + your breath though, each version seems to add as many bugs as it fixes.)

+ How can you make your VTF animated? When I upload an animated GIF, it doens't work.

+
+
+ Select Import from the File menu, then in the File Open Dialog, select
+ each frame you want in your animation (hold ctrl of shift down to do this).
+
+ I tried adding direct support for animated .gif files, but there is a bug in DevIL which corrupts the + image data after it is depalettized so you'll have to extract each frame in an external program before + importing.

+ Nem, Hi.
+ What adjustments should I put to create the animated crosshair for Source? I have already made animated + VTF, but in game it works as static crosshair. +

+
+ I'm not really familiar with editing Source crosshairs, but I assume you would also
+ have to edit the crosshair's .vmt file to add the AnimatedTexture proxy. If you created a new
+ crosshair, then I think you also have to use the cl_crosshair_file console command to select it.

+ Yep, you were right. Just installed .net 1.1 service pack 1 and now vtfedit works.
+ Yay!
