I made one once, but never got it to work. Where do I put the pldecal.wad, and how do I use it in game? Just a sec, and I'll find what I made and post it...

To save space, all my sprays that I use (yes, I shuffle every so often, these are just my recent ones) and some info on how I make them, and why they work so well in-game.
First off, the core trick is to make all your sprays 32x256, 64x128, 64x64, 128x64, or 256x32. Always. While any spraypaint that's a multiple of 16 in each direction and not larger than a certain size overall will load, they'll look like **** in-game because your 3D card will re-size them to one of these sizes in each direction: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
Second trick, trim your images at double to quadruple the in-game resolution. That means edit the 1024x512 image to a clean, sharp, crisp edge. Don't use bright blue yet, use proper alpha channels. If you don't understand that, get a copy of <a href='http://www.gimp.org' target='_blank'>The G.I.M.P.</a> and use that, it's what I use, and what I'll assume you're using now, instead of a pirated copy of PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro.
Now, rescale the image to in-game resolution, highest-quality mode if given the option. Duplicate the layer so there's two copies. Select the topmost layer (the one above the other one). Go to the Image->Colors->Levels dialog on the right-click menu. Go to Red on the drop-down box. Set <b>both</b> Output Levels to 0. Go to Green on the drop-down box. Set <b>both</b> Output Levels to 0. Go to Blue on the drop-down box. Set <b>both</b> Output Levels to 255. Go to Alpha on the drop-down box. Set Output Levels to 255 and 0, the <b>reverse</b> of what they are now. Set Input Levels to 0, 1.0, and 1. Click OK.
You now have an extra-sharp pure-blue (which will show up see-through in-game) mask around your spraypaint. Now to fill in the 'partial see-through' pixels so they'll blend against most walls better.
Make a new layer, select it and fill it with 50% grey (Red 128, Green 128, Blue 128, #808080). Use Filters->Noise->Scatter HSV. Holdness 1, all others to 128. Click OK. Use Filters->Blur->Gaussian Blur (RLE). Both settings to 11. Click OK. This leaves a totally non-uniform but very neutral gray fade-out around the edges of your spraypaint. Use Layers->Flatten Image now.
You're done. File->Save the final image to a .BMP file somewhere, and use Wally to import it.
If anyone wants a full tutorial for all this, I can make one for using 100% free tools for all this chaos? :-)
I got kicked for spraying my spray on a server too many times.....I didn't blame them <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I use a spray which looks sorta comic like but in supposed to match alien bacteria.

Copyright infringement and all.. but I still like it. Plus, you just drop it into your logos directory. No fancy-shmancy programs required. Give it the yellow color, and away you go.

I made this a few days after NS 1.0 was released, it's always good to spray on the floor and annoy the commander:
