TTT Sprays This post is a in-depth guide on how to use sprays and why yours may not be working. Disclaimer: I am creating this not to plagiarise or offend the original user who wrote the guide in the F1 > Sprays Menu however the purpose of this post is to furthermore help people understand how sprays and URL's work, this will not help everybody but if it does be sure to rate it. <3 How to Add Your Desired Spray [Static] If you go on any of the TTT Serious Servers in the F1 Menu you will find a Tab named Sprays. Click on this and it will show you the basic concept of sprays and what to do and not to do. For instance I will be using this image as an example. Since the image is a static format such as .jpg or .png you will need to go to the website www.imgur.com and click the big green button at the top named 'New Post' and paste in the link of the image. Now right click on the image and press 'Open image in new tab'. It should bring you to a new page named something along the lines of http://i.imgur.com/123456.jpg , make sure it ends in a file format to see if you've done it correctly, now copy and paste the URL into your sprays menu, however you will need to eraser the http:// or www. part in to make it work. Why your Spray isn't Working A few reasons your spray might not work is because it's either not the right file format or you've typed the URL link wrong. Here are some examples of Links done correctly and links done incorrectly. Only imgur.com and gyfcat links are supported however only and above can use gyfcat links can be used by Elite and Legendary ranks only. Supported Formats .png .jpg .jpeg .bmp .webm Good i.imgur.com/123456.jpg zippy.gyfcat.com/123456.webm Bad http://i.imgur.com/123456.jpg [http needs to be removed] www.i.imgur.com/123456.jpg [www. needs to be removed] imgur.com/123456 [doesn't end in a file format] http://zippy.gyfcat.com/123456.webm [http needs to be removed] www.zippy.gyfcat.com/123456.webm [www. needs to be removed] zippy.gyfcat.com/123456.gif [not a supported format] zippy.gyfcat.com/123456 [doesn't end in a file format] The URL cannot contain any of these: { } [ ] : " " , ( ) < > How to Add Your Desired Spray [Moving] I will be using this gif as an example to show you how to transfer it to a .webm format at use the spray. To change a .gif to a .webm go to the website www.cloudconvert.com/gif-to-webm, select your files and convert, if you've already got a .webm proceed to the next step. Since it's a moving format such as .webm you will need to go to the website www.gfycat.com and click 'Upload' in the top right of the screen, then click browse and select the .webm file you want to upload. Click the blue text next to your .webm and you'll reach the page of your .webm, right click your .webm and copy and paste the URL, remember to erase the http:// and www. parts of the URL to make sure it's supported. Transparent Images To make sure your image is transparent use the .png file format and the background of this image must be invisible so it can be seen through. Follow the exact same steps as the Section 'How to Add Your Desired Spray [Static]' and you should be a-okay!
Nice thread except a couple things are wrong and unnecessary and i have already made a thread on this, but thanks for putting the time in to do it. (https://www.seriousgmod.com/threads/instructions-on-sprays.39488/)
I've read through your post and come to the conclusion everything I said is correct and in the disclaimer it says "I am creating this not to plagiarise or offend the original user who wrote the guide in the F1 > Sprays Menu however the purpose of this post is to furthermore help people understand how sprays and URL's work." This is very complex and detailed post including Transparency, why your spray may not be working and clear step by step actions. Some actions you said were incorrect such as "Next you will need to make an account on Imgur so that you can post your picture" I already know you don't need to create an account even before your guide was posted. Another mistake you made, quoting "You'll then have a link that looks like this, zippy.gfycat.com/NegligibleFirsthandDeviltasmanian.webm , which is what the accepted format for a webm (gif) spray", this step can be can be unreliable so and finicky which mine is 100% more reliable route to fix this issue instead, I've tried this and it sometimes doesn't work redirecting back to the original post without a format. This post is not to argue with you, please don't interfere with other people's work, taking credit for the idea.
1.) Making an account is more of a saving thing, if you accidentally remove your post or you want to see the original imgur post especially if you convert it to webm having an account helps. 2.) Transparency has no effect on the spray, if it's a transparent picture it will be transparent in the spray... 3.) When you make them convert the gif to webm before gfycat that is an unnecessary step, my way works 100% of the time and has yet to fail, it's not finicky at all and it works every single time. 4.) Before you copy and paste a thread make sure you at least make it better or make it different, your thread is my exact thread with less detail, unnecessary information, and unnecessary steps. P.S. The thread itself is a good thought but you should really search before you take the time to make one, my thread is in the TTT Tips and Information thread Keep up the good work though, i can see you are trying to make a forums presence.
