Tutorial "how to make your own overlay":

Spoiler

In this tutorial, I try so "noob-like" as I can, to show you how to make custom overlays.

You need a windows PC, VTFEdit, an graphic editor like Photoshop or GIMP (For this tutorial I presume you know how to use a graphic software) & an text editor like SPEdit, Sublime Text or Notepad++.

1. Design a new image with your graphic editor with the following size: 1820px * 1024px (optimal view at 16:9)
   
   
   
2. Squeeze it to a 1024px * 1024px square.
   
   
   
3. Save your image as a RGB/8bit *.png file. In this example as overlay.png
   
   
4. Open VTFEdit and press the Import Button or 'Ctrl + I'
   
   
5. Import your custom image from step 3
   
   
6. A option windows pops up. I run good with these settings:
   
   
   
   
   
7. Press OK & check the following settings. I run good with these:
   
   
   
8. Save as *.vtf file. In this example as overlay.vtf
   
   
9. Open your text editor and start a new file (Ctrl + N)
   
   
10. Copy & Paste the following to your new text file:
    

    MonitorScreen"
    {
    	"$basetexture" "overlays/MyFirstOverlay/OVERLAY_PLACEHOLDER"
    	"$translucent" 1
    }

11. Edit OVERLAY_PLACEHOLDER to your filename you choose in step 8. Don't write the file extension.vft
    
    
12. example with overlay.vtf:
    

    "MonitorScreen"
    {
    	"$basetexture" "overlays/MyFirstOverlay/overlay"
    	"$translucent" 1
    }

13. Save as *.vmt file with same name you choose in step 8. In this example as overlay.vmt
    
    
14. Upload the *.vtf & *.vmt file to following folder of your server & FastDL:
    
    Overlay: ...\csgo\materials\overlays\MyFirstOverlay
    
    Congratulations!

• Do you have put them on your FastDL?
• According to your .vmt file you have to put your overlays files into csgo/materials folder instead of csgo/materials/overlays/retake folder, like in my example.
• Does the overlay files getting downloaded on the first client connect to server?

  While connecting to server, open console and look for something like:
  

  Downloading http://YourFastDL.tld/csgo/materials/a.vmt.bz2 
  Downloading http://YourFastDL.tld/csgo/materials/a.vtf.bz2 
  Download finished!

• In your overlays.cfg your new overlays should be set with:
  

  // Path to the bombsite A overlay DONT TYPE .vmt or .vft
  // -
  // Default: "overlays/retake/a"
  sm_retake_overlays_path_a "a"
  
  // Path to the bombsite B overlay DONT TYPE .vmt or .vft
  // -
  // Default: "overlays/retake/b"
  sm_retake_overlays_path_b "b"

Don't believe the .cfg file is being made. Could just be me.

Also even using all the default settings and overlays I'm still getting a black screen.

I'm using sm_retake_overlays_team 1 and the overlays appear for both teams.

Also the overlay appears in some rounds for some players and in others it does not appear.

Does anyone know the VTFEdit settings for this? I'm trying to change my overlays, but the images no longer work.
