I think it's been said somewhere (unconfirmed mind you) that you can have animated sprays as well in the Source engine. Been a while since I last saw that though, so of course it may or may not be true.

you could animate the hl sprays now

problem is though its fast, and it doesn't loop unless you spray it again, and u can fit maybe a max of 4 or 5 frames because it has to be under 15 kb

Also, you guys REALLY need to look at the content contained in the linked article there.

Check back soon as we'll be covering mid-ranged and low-end graphics cards in Part Two of our Counter-Strike: Source performance series.

biggest bug report -> massive amounts of cz noobs populating the servers!

[mikereyes]

I hope they will fix the massive laggyness.

Oh, nice. 2048x2048 sprays. Sprays? Call it billboards...



I really think Valve should limit spray size to, say... 512x512. On a 32 players server, it would take a nice amount of time to get on the game if 50% of the players had a spray file of over 300k (uncompressed!!!).



Besides that, the dust walls will look like a porn gallery. Not that I don't like it, but I already have a partition on my HD only for XXX :P



I know that there are lots of variables (server and client side) that can be used to control some points (allow download, upload, decal stay etc), but I think some limit must be implemented by Valve.



Those walls are so beautiful now, they don't deserve to be "sprayed" with those photoshop-noobs ugly gfx and beautiful babes. The first because it sucks, and the former because I won't be able to play - you know, once a babe is on the field of view, nothing else matters!

Those screenshoots look like everything is on high not medium!

Whatever happened to that HL2 preload? VALVe did a pretty good job sweeping that under the rug. No one is even talking about it.

My spray of a door is going to look so good now, but if you can make ones that are animated i want one that is a window and has a terrorist pop his head up with an ak and loop every now and then lol.

Gabe already stated he wanted to get the 60 meg CSS update out before the HL2 preload, how about reading around on your own?

Not really bitching. Just surprised that no one has even mentioned it. Gabe said yesterday or the day before it would be today, so you think they would have some sort of update about its status. Maybe they will just let people find out for themselves instead of making this announcement for it and therefore decreasing (hopefully) the load on the servers.



Who knows, I want a word dang nambit.

Thought the 60 meg update was the video benchmark?

Reload CSN. It should be the first newsbit you see.

[hugo-rj]

C'mon... animated sprays?



So Valve will forget about .tga and use .avi... maybe with divx support?



Will not only be able to spray a window with a terrorist popping out, but will be able to put whole scenes from Silvia Saint videos!!!!!!!!!



512x512/still pictures pls, Valve... pls!!!

I think you can get CSS sprays to work by adding a folder called "downloads" to your Counter-strike source beta\cstrike folder.



Sorry I'm not very certain, this is only what I have heard on the steampowered forums.

Also sorry if someone already said this, I'm in a rush getting ready for work.

So when is the beta going to end?? Cause i'm out of town and cant play right now, and I hope i dont get screwed over.
