I would gladly conjure up tons of nice, pretty and useful sprites and post them here free for everyone to use. Only if someone could tell me how you do a transparent sprite much like the ones used here.

I have Photoshop, VTFEdit and all. Just no idea how to get this to work correctly. I have tried following countless guides out there in regards to building transparent sprites and yet absolutely 0 of them have worked. Makes me wonder if Valve has somehow just up and removed this from the game engine entirely.

EDIT: Is there a way this sprite thing can stay above the players head at all times? End Round is cool and all, but I have some players that would like it to stay on.

I'll add that into the next version as a cvar.

Sprite transparency is an alpha channel.

Updated - nothing major just fixed the misnamed materials and the path in the plugin. If you fixed this yourself, you do not need to update.

I've managed to figure out how to create my own sprite. If you want a sprite created for you and your community/group let me know. I can make them for you if you like.

If you want to make some sprites and post them here, I will include them in the materials for other people to use as well.

There is a vmt parameter for transparency. You can also use ingame VMT editor. Start your game with -tools command line option.

I just remembered there is a photoshop vtf plugin which makes the entire process extremely simple.

Getting "Plugin failed to compile! Please try contacting the author." when trying to download this plugin.

Like it says in the first post, you must manually compile.

hmm I must be blind because I don't see that anywhere. And when I try to compile the script I still get "fatal error 12. cannot read from file: "donator".

edit: ah ok, nm.
