<div class="IPBDescription">The new way of communication.</div> <b>TSA proudly presents a new piece of tecnology.
The Yellpad Spraycans.</b>
You can spray this pad almost anywere and quicky have buttons to yell for all you need.
This kills a lot of misunderstandings between the commander and the Infantry, like "what do you need and were"
Yellpads sprayed on the ground are easy to use, find and hardly to misunderstand.
How to use:
stand with your back to a wall looking forward in a larger room and use the spraycan.
Do not look 90° down, it wont work then.
Then say "commander im standing by" and jump on the right yellpad button till you get what you need or til leveryone laughts at you.
The yellpad is a complex prototype tecnology and we can give every marine just one kind of yellpad for each mission:
<b>Yellpad:</b>
Useful to yell for Health, Ammo or someone to weld you anywere. The smaller buttons are just a design test.
<b>Equippad:</b>
Usefull to yell for equipment in a a main base. HA is luxus, so it has no button for it yet.
<b>Basepad:</b>
Usefull to tell your commander were you want to build what piece of an outpost. It has just the basic structue buttons.
now the final question: Does this make sense?

here come the wads.
rename to pldecal.wad and ....
it really does not work on servers with many ppl, lots of action and a low server decal limit.
Then a spraypaint livetime is one millisecond.
Im going to play right now just so I can use it!
I intend on spraying the equippad in the floor of a marine base whenever I join the team, and asking that the commander separate the piles of equipment/weapons accordingly. I'm sick of lazy commanders not separating stuff into piles, instead opting to drop equipment he/she thinks everyone loves onto everyone who's currently "humping" the armory. This should be sufficient encouragement for the commander to make the soldier's choosing easier.
make a backup of the .wad you want to use and rename it to
<b>pldecal.wad</b>
Then overwrite the pldecal.wad with the pldecal.wad of your ns_folder. (+ valve folder, too for backup)
then Start ns and do NOT swich to the customization menu, were you change your nick, appearance and spraylogo. DO NOT!
If you do, HL automatically overwrites this custom spraylogo with a small single colored greyscale spraylogo)
If it still does not work it may have the following reasons:
<b>I see a yellow "HL-alpha sign":</b>
- you accidently overwritet the custom spraylogo with that hl sign like described aboce. to proove this check the filesize of ns/pldecal.wad . it should be 16.7 k and not just 5k or less.
- The server does not allow custom spraylogos, because they exhaust the server. Enjoy that server without custom sprays.
- You have not already uploaded your spraylogo completely to the server. (the logo is big. it needs some time till its up, the 3rd spraylogo should work fine with dsl/65k , the 6th works everytime.)
- The spraylogo dimensions are not valid (they are valid as they are, just dont change it).
<b>I see nothing, but hear spray sound:</b>
- Custom spray logos work just in OpenGL mode [] NS (right now), too. so this cant be the reason (not yet).
- NS uses huge numbers of decals for firing holes and there are many offense chambers and all firing. in the middle of a fight a decal (wich spraylogos are, too) has a livetime of milliseconds. "Lucky-luke syndrome."
- You sprayed right to the bottom looking down. (i have no clue, must be ns specific. that the spraylogo does not appear when you look down too much.) look more forward and not straight down. Try it on a 90° wall. it needs practice spraying on the bottom at some places.
- You sprayed on a small surface. Surface borders split your spraylogo. If the texture, youre sprayng on, is rotated, it rotates parts of the spraylogo. sometimes it rotates them into places you cant see.
Obviously the blue part is transparent.
The next post contains the download.
However I can see these just breeding more lamers that spam, "COMANDO MORE GUNS!!21! PLS!?/", all the time until they recieve what they want.
anybody got that one?
