<div class="IPBDescription">no pldecal.wad :(</div> I can't seem to find pldecal.wad in the NSP folder, unless there's another .wad files that deals with the spray now. Anybody know?

It's reasonably simple.
Did you have a custom spraypaint in WON Halflife?
If so, copy the file, and put it in the following folder:
I believe there's a reason behind this new file "tempdecal"... temp must mean its temporary, thus it sounds likely that the new steam (cuz its in all my other mods too) possibly resets your decal everytime you play. Ive tried replacing both the pldecal and tempdecal with my custom spray, ending up with no results.
Just make <b>tempdecal.wad</b> readonly... And after changing your tempdecal file, dont forget to delete <b>custom.hpk</b>... Steam will create another one with your new logo...
Also check your config file for the lines below...
Do the custom pics have to be between a specific resolution/size <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Must be smaller than 15K in size in indexed color mode (8bit)... no limitations for width and hight ratio... However, if you make dimensions of image multiples of 32; the image gets less blurred in game...
96x96 exceeds file size limit... 128x64 pixels or 64x128 pixels are good choices considering both file size and sharpness; inorder to get the largest spray...
Good idea on the read only. I'll try that. I have it as both pldecal and tempdecal, and oddly enough it seems to work about half of the time. However, it gives me a chosen default spray when it doesn't work instead of the lambda. Go figure.

Just rename pldecal.wad to tempdecal.wad and delete custom.hpk...
Have Fun...

... Steam/steamapps/Youradress@yourprovider.domain/half-life/nsp/
Rename pldecal.wad to tempdecal.wad
Should work...
Also check your config file for the lines below...
<b>cl_allowdownload "1"
cl_allowupload "1"
cl_download_ingame "1" </b>
They must be set to 1...
Have Fun....
