I recently switched over from manimod, but having some issues getting this one to work properly
filename: /cstrike/addons/sourcemod/configs/map-decals/maps/surf_10x_final.cfg

"Positions"
{
	"ban2"
	{
		"pos1"		"4771.74316 9218.36914 -3986.99609"
		"pos2"		"4928.05273 -350.87534 119.32183"
		"pos3"		"4908.32373 1061.28638 51.46281"
	}
}

filename: /cstrike/addons/sourcemod/configs/map-decals/decal.cfg

"Decals"
{
	"ban1"
	{

		"path"	"decals/custom/ban2"

	}

}

I can spray my banner ingame where I want to, but cannot set them to spawn on map load.

Anything I've missed?
-edit

tried to make it generate the files using the ingame "Save" on the menu

[SM] Saving last painted Decal to File nd...
[SM] Saved last painted Decal Position (Name = ban1).
[SM] Decal Position: 4900.160644, -356.783447, 58.827301

Yet no files where saved, specifically none called nd

I'm having the same kind of issues. When I run the pre-compiled version, I get "
[SM] Saving Decals to File  not found: ". When I compile from source, it says it's saving to some random filename (usually with weird foreign unicode characters), and that file shows up in /cstrike/ (the wrong place), but with no points inside it, just the word Positions in quotes and the empty set of braces following it.

	"ban1"

		"pos3"		"4703.161133 9218.369141 -3964.473877"
		"pos4"		"5031.280273 414.031250 115.263672"

		"pos6"		"4900.160645 -356.783447 58.827301"
	}
}

your right file: nd

had that insit it, but was at cstrike/

[Mister_Magotchi]

Here is a version that works as far as I can tell, although I haven't tested it extensively. I have gotten it to spray decals, save all decals to file, and then have the decals show up on map change.

All I did was replace most instances of "file" in the FileToKeyValues and KeyValuesToFile functions with "path_mapdecals". I don't know if this is the appropriate way to do it or not, but with my limited SourcePawn knowledge, it didn't seem to me like the "file" string was ever taking the value of "path_mapdecals", so I decided to pass it directly to those functions.

Additionally, I have converted over all of the stock CS map decal positions from Mani Admin Plugin's list of position coordinates. You can just extract the ZIP to "configs/map-decals/maps" and you'll already have at least a few decently placed coordinates on every stock map that will fit a 256x128 decal at a "decalscale" of 0.5 (in the .vmt file). The spots may fit more, but I used that size simply because that's how big Mani's example was that went with those coordinates.

How can I create animated decal using this plugin?

[Mister_Magotchi]

There are other tutorials on the web for creating animated VTF images, but it's outside the scope of what this plugin does. Once you have an animated VTF, I imagine it'd be no problem getting it to work with this plugin, but this plugin doesn't actually create the decals.

I have vtf it's working (animated) as spray but it is not animated decal if I use this plugin
