@pcwizdan
I don't know if it's compatible with garrys mod, but i know it's compatible
with cs:s, dod:s, hl2:dm. So maybe it's compatible with it too.
To get the coordinates, look at the position where you like to have the decal.
Then write decal_pos to your console and it shows you the coordinates.

@sessus
Maybe when the SDKTools extension is done.

Does anyone have this working now for DOD:S?

I tried sv_pure 0, reconnecting and various "$decalscale" ratios with no success.

Yes, works great with DoD:S.
Have a look on my DoD:S servers.

Here's what I tried:

I typed decal_pos in front of a sprayable bldg. texture and created a dod_flash.txt in dod/addons/decal

"dod_flash.txt"
{
    "lambda"        "decals/custom/lambdaspray_2a"

    "downloads"
    {
        "lambdaspray_2a.vmt"    "materials/decals/custom/lambdaspray_2a.vmt"
        "lambdaspray_2a.vtf"    "materials/decals/custom/lambdaspray_2a.vtf"
    }

    "decals"
    {
        "lambdaspray_2a"    "-584.839722 -119.116066 106.121666"
    }
}

Then I created a flash.res in dod/maps

 "resources"
{
"materials/decals/custom/lambdaspray_2a.vmt" "file"
"materials/decals/custom/lambdaspray_2a.vtf" "file"
}

and placed lambdaspray_2a.vtf in materials/decals/custom to create the material file for it:

 "LightmappedGeneric"
{
    "$basetexture" "decals/custom/lambdaspray_2a"
    "$decal" 1
    "$decalscale" 0.10
    "$translucent" 1
}

I set sv_pure to 0 in both autoexec.cfg and server.cfg; restarted the server; connected and downloaded the two files;
disconnected and rejoined; didn't see the decal; changed maps and returned to flash; still don't see the decal.
I also tried using quotes around the decalscale value with no success.

Rom1, could you please show your material code you used for this texture.
Thanks

If you come on my servers (anyone) you'll download 2 textures and the 2 vtf files associated. They are in materials/decals/custom/fff/

I never created a *.res file. So ... I think you don't need to do it either ;)

You other files look ok.

[f64]

I have it working correctly now. The problem was in how the material (with transparency) was created. The download works without the .res as well.

Thanks for your help, though.

You find an example file in addons/decal/ called de_dust.txt In this directory you have to put all files for each map (map_name.txt) To get the coordinates, you just have to look to a wall where you want to draw a decal and type decal_pos in the console. Then it will print the coordinates to your console window and you can add them to your map_name.txt.

Thanks for this manual ^^

Anyone know if this works in TF2?

[clandest]

what do you use to convert your image to a vmt/vtf? Right now I have a .jpg lol

Thanks
