I remember I had a beta version of an animated spray once. It would only run the animation once and stop though....good enough to pull off a "closing door" trick though. Never thought of that!

You can get about 7 frames in an animated spray, but they only run once, and that is when you spray them, I don't know if its possible to delay the start of the animation, but I'll have a go at making a moving motion tracking cursor!
As for the HMG spray, I'm not sure that would be convincing enough. Doors, buttons, ladders and other map objects will only work on players who don't know the map, I suppose it would be fun to see someone being fooled by these though.
When I have time, I'll work on a few more, I'll set up my website properly with thumbnails, and templates for making the sprays represent the models at the correct scale.
Meanwhile tell me what you think of my skulk spray <a href='http://www.angelfire.com/gundam/err404/pldecal.wad' target='_blank'>http://www.angelfire.com/gundam/err404/pldecal.wad</a>
Most people that I've spoken to so far who have fallen for the spray, just take it in good humor and laugh it off. Its just a bit of fun, and thats what NS is about, the fake spray is nothing more than a bad joke and players find it funny.
Haha this thread really made me laugh out loud. Ppl whining "omg haxx0r u got a cookie spray..blabla" haha now that's fun, they even call it a cheat. This is a HL feature... this is for fun. Too bad it can be used to display porn/weird things. Anyway anyone can disable custom sprays if they want to so no big deal. SO i decided to make some more <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Tell me what u think;
The so classic fake button, NS-style, looks good everywhere;
The fake NS door (it's a *little* too small (96*96), HL doenst want bigger sprays, looks better on stretched textures but it looks "ok" on 1:1 textures as well);
And now the one im sorta proud of <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> : the fake weldable (bwahaha im evil);

The fake weldable must be placed in bright places, like under a 255 255 255 255 light entity or it doesnt looks so good. It's really really fun to see marines select their welder, and begining to try to weld it, they dont see the progress bar so they move a bit, retrying, thinking they were not well positioned.
I'm only stating it's an exploit to add anything to the game which gives you an unfair advantage, but I'm not demanding something gets done about it.

I still hold by the idea that if I am out for a game of NS there are few things:
1) I like seeing peoples cool/funny sprays (either traditional name done up well, or something funny like the silly hoomans sparys)
2) I don't feel like having to deal with silly people ussing sprays to try and gain advantages, it just ditracts from the game
look, if you realy need that extra edge (wich alot of the pople here are posting them for, not b/c they want it for shits n' gigles but b/c they want that extra advantage)
also you might notice that about 1/2 of these posts are on how people use these sprays to take advantage of unsuspecting people
again, all of the crouching CT/T sprays was one of the things I rather disliked about CS, and now they are ofcourse showing up here
This is just like people binding scripts to simple commands (aka bunny hop so that they never take damage unless the skulk jumps on top of them, and prays a lot). There are people who did it for CS (it's actually an impairment not to, I will never get as fast as those guys who use scripts, even though I have all guns purchase numbers down by heart), so there will be people who will do it for NS. It's unavoidable. It's like hoping for intelligent presidents. Eventually someone stupid will take office, there's nothing you can do about it. The only hope is that they are good people (HA!) and won't abuse stuff. What fun would the game be if the model consistency variable was no longer a variable. Flayra would kill an entire community of modelers who wanted to do stuff for NS. There's a <b>forum</b> for people making custom models, so I don't think he's planning on doing that. Just because someone uses a function intended to show personal flair as an exploit, doesn't mean spray-logos are an exploit. you <b>can</b> exploit them, but you don't have to, and not everyone will. Cheaters will find ways to cheat unless you make some variable cl_NOCHANGESEVERTOMYGAME, and if its ever changed, the game deletes itself. That would suck, too.

Oh and is it possible to change what spray you use in-game? Like if I alt-tab and switch my pdecals, will it take effect in-game? Would be nice to make a little army of fades and skulks.
Oh, 404...
Offensive Chamber with a Defensive chamber behind it to the side (So far away it looks like a beginning WOL)

Fade, skulk from the front, not side. Ollj's was slightly to the side and it looked a bit too fake to me.
Thanks for the advice, I think I will convert a few sprays directly from ingame to make it look more convincing, especially with the lighting levels. I like the Skulk hiding in a vent idea.
The original idea for the gestation was an animation from gestation to onos! But the total pixel limit won't allow that! It would have been funny tho'.
I'll also work on a few marine ones too, it wouldn't be fair if the marines had all the fun! I was thinking fake turrets and turret factories.
By the way, the gestation spray works best behind real chambers, or on the far side of a room.
You guys are so f***ing lame. For starters, yes - it´s an exploit using sprays to distract the enemy. First off, why do you need it? If you had ANY skill whatsoever it´d be totally redundant. Furthermore, your arguments:
1) "Only an idiot would fall for it, therefore he deserves it."
Well, a competent marine shoots at anything that isn´t a marine (unless we are building a siege base). Ok, so I´m only fooled for a split second, but that´s plenty of time for getting the drop on me. Cheap. If only the wetards fall for it, why are you interested in getting it to look EXACTLY like a "half cloaked alien"? Once you get there, it doesn´t take an idiot to fall in the trap.
2) "If Flayra thought it was an exploit, he would ban custom sprays."
Yes, and if the government thought accidentally killing children with firearms was bad, they wouldn´t cater to the NRA. Great argument. Umm maybe there´s more than one side to every decision???
3) "It´s better than porn."
I won´t even comment. Nothing is better than porn.
For the record, I personally don´t care since I don´t allow download. I care about the n00bs that you lamers seek to dominate. Pitiful.
I love the fake button one i think im gonna use it. Its really funny,
Regarding the moaners, i think the people who are posting links to the myg0t site are the ones in the wrong, not the vast majority who realise there is nothing wrong with silly (non-pornographic) sprays.
As already has been said, if you feel you may be duped just set cl_allowdownloads 0.

The general idea of sprays is to get at least someone to look at it, regardless of it's content. If nobody looks at your spray, then what's the point? I don't think these Skulk sprays are cheats. I think they're funny. I'm not convinced by them. But if the idea was to distract the enemy, nothing would work better then a porn spray, though that gets you kicked by a ton of servers.

I'm sorry, but anyone that think's that this is a cheat has a closed mind. I say that anything that fit's into the storyline is fine.
We have this megasmart bacteria and nanites supposedly floating all around the level doing stuff, who's to say that the bacteria didn't use the half-cloaked fade to trick the Thermapolians of Thermapolis Prime ? (The Thermapolions were big fans of suicide bombing, little did they know they were bombing useless walls)
And hey, the marines have their nanites, I'm pretty sure I could realistically believe that nanites could be programmed to paint a wall in under a second.
Jesus, just because it's out of the bounds of the predefined game doesn't make it wrong!

The only problem with the Gestation Spray is that it doesn't quite
touch the ground when sprayed on the wall. I also tried to animate it
so it was squirming and panicking but the file ended up too big even
with just 2 frames! Its convincing enough anyway --- how could you
resist shooting a gestation!
Check out the screenies at the website link above, sorry about the bad
design of the website, I just threw it together just so I could post
my spray designs.
I'll be working on a HMG spray when I get time, any requests?
