tool in the <i>Tools</i> menu. Just select an <i>Input Folder</i> (where your .vtf files are), an

<div class="content">The default settings <i>should</i> work (as long as your .tga has an alpha channel).
My recommended spray settings are:<br><br>Normal Format: DXT1 - This is a compressed RGB format that
VTFEdit will use if your texture <i>doesn't</i> have an alpha channel.<br><br>Alpha Format: DXT5 or DXT3
- This is a compressed RGBA format that VTFEdit will use if your texture <i>has</i> 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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).</div>

Hey nem. I've been using vtf edit for ages. Best thing since sliced bread
;D . Only problem is I can't remember how to make transparent sprays into vtf's . The original picture
is 256x256 and is a tga file (32-bit compression). I've done it once or twice but can't remember now.
Thanks again for all you work :D</div>

<div class="content">When I import multiple impages, using the CTRL key to select them, I select them in
the order I want them to appear in the final animated .vtf file. Often, VTFEdit will rearrange them into
a different sequence and I cant seem to find the pattern. I've tried various naming schemes hoping
numeric order would override VTFEdits "sequencing choices" but it doesnt seem to affect it
much. The files I was working with were .jpgs and .pngs and the problem didnt seem related to either of
the files types or any mixture of them. <br />
<br />
To be clearer, I select files 1-6 in order, 1,2,3,4, etc. After I choose my resize options,etc. and
VTFEdit imports the files, the images might be in 6,1,2,3,4,5 or 1,6,2,3,4,5.. The rearranging usually
happens to the first or last image in the sequence. <br />
<br />
Thoughts?<br />
<br />
ps. I have noticed that the file I want to be the first in the list has to be the last one chosen.<br />

<div class="content"><img src="../../images/emotes/bored.gif" width="32" height="32" alt="bored" /> I'm
having the same issue as sonicanatidae. No matter how many frames I
have on my list nor their names, the last one always becomes the first one. I tried to manually fix the
problem by typing their names in the correct order but the interface doesn't allow me to type more than
260 chars; so clicking on items seems to be the only way to select a large number of items. This is
particularly problematic in my case because I'm using this material in a special entity that doesn't
cycle through all the frames.<br />
I guess one simple solution for that problem would be adding an option like "import from a list
file", in the file menu, where the user would point a .txt file with the names of all the frames in
the proper order. What about that Nem?<img src="../../images/emotes/happy.gif" width="32" height="32"

No, no. VTFEdit works fine, and using the proxy method of modifying the VTF's animation speed via the
VMT file works fine as well. You can even see this when you look at it from within TF2's multiplayer
options. It animates as you would expect a normal VTF texture to animate.<br />
<br />
The issue here is that Valve has chosen to limit the VTF format with respect to sprays and sprays ONLY.
If you were creating the VTF for use on a player model, or a wall texture, or whatever else, it would
abide by the settings put forth in the VMT file. However, these limits imposed upon the sprays means
that the spray will be displayed one way, and one way ONLY.<br />
<br />
This helps to keep (cheaters, I guess?) people from modifying it in such a way that may give them an
advantage.. Because of these limits, the spray will animate at a set speed, you cannot tell the spray to
ignore the z stacking order, or influence the way the spray is affected by lighting, etc. etc. It is set
up to be a single-use option, so really nothing you put into the VMT will be honored by the game. The
only reason it needs a VMT is so that it can display properly in the GUI. Once you use it as a spray on
a surface, it's applying its own set attributes to the texture.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps. :)

<div class="content">As discussed here:<br />

<br />
VTFs generated through VTFEdit from a PNG source seem to generate a "Error reading material
data".<br />
<br />
Does anybody know if this is true, or why this happens?<br />
<br />
Edit:<br />
<br />
And on a similar note, I recently discovered that PNGs saved with VTFEdit are corrupt, as well for some
reason. :S</div>

<div class="content">So you can edit the speed but once your in-game on a server the settings in the vmt
file don't work for editing the animated spray speed? If I understood correctly.. If I'm wrong in
understanding and it does work then perhaps could I have one you created so I can see how to place the
proper coding inside of it to edit the speed?</div>
