RE: [hlds_linux] help plz with sprites and a floating banner in counter-strike
It's done using a metamod plugin called stripper2, I think written by botman. i believe he is hosted by counter-strike.net. The mod can actually do a whole lote mote then sprites.

Re: [hlds_linux] help plz with sprites and a floating banner in counter-strike
I am really sorry to be a pain in the ass, but okay so baseically, I create a .bmp then make it into a sprite using a converter. Now I have the sprite and where ever I place it, it will follow people around, so I think I should do the easy way to do it using stripper2, looking at stripper2 I don't really understand it that well, but continueing on I have 2 more questions 1. How does the increase of the sprite happen ? Right now I am using the csnation sprite wizard to convert a bmp into a sprite, except the maximum size of the bmp can only be 256 pixels in any direction, and in the server the thing looks much bigger 2. How would I put it in every single map, would I need to have like a custom file coresponding with every map ? 3. Thanks a lot for your help 4. Can you please tell me the easiest way put it in and position it, I am going to create a sprite using the sprite wizard and all I want to do is put it in the air near each of the spawn points From: Stephen Micheals <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] help plz with sprites and a floating banner in counter-strike Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 22:16:30 -0700 On Monday 18 August 2003 21:45, i rule wrote: >1. how do they get it to follow and look at you and 2. how is it they insert it in ? 1. all sprite's will follow you/ always look the same no matter whare you look at it from 2. stripper2 is a easy way to do it takes less work and you can also add basic clear brush based entity's (trigger_hurt's and whatnot) stripper2 can have trouble with making some entity's but the best way the way i like is the ripent tool that came with zoner's custom build of the hl compile tools it extract's all the entity info into a txt file and you can edit it then use the tool in reinsert it with the stuff you added or edited also ripent edited map can be passed around easy and the server admins dont need to use any 3rd part plugins to use it. when adding banners i like to make a banner model and put it on a wall it looks like a part of the map itself. also a little help with ripent you can decompile the map then add/remove items in it then look at the .map and extract the entity from it ripent is a fun thing to mess with for example i converted de_dust to a DOD bombing map -- "We came to one conclusion very quickly after reviewing the numbers: Mac people who scream that their Apples are faster than PC's are simply so full of crap, they could double as septic tanks." -MAXIMUM PC Magazine ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _ Get MSN 8 and help protect your children with advanced parental controls. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/parental ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] help plz with sprites and a floating banner in counter-strike
Hi everyone, over a year ago I once remember visiting a server wehre they had this image of a website name and then a graphic that followed you around at the spawn points of de_dust. Now after some time learning more about cs and computers, as well as getting a counter-strike clan and servers I recently came upon this server at 199.240.91.47:27015 at the two spawn points they have a floating banner that follows you around at the spawn, it baseically looks at you. I would also like this for my webpage, however an initial search at google came up empty so I went here. After looking at it they use 2 diffrent sprite files, .spr which are identical probably for 2 diffrent spawns. Now the questions I have are 1. how do they get it to follow and look at you and 2. how is it they insert it in ? Just guessing but I am not that smart and would say stripper2. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I know how to create the sprike because of the initial one hit that came up at csnation sprites. Oh yeah and one more thing it says the maximum is 256 pixels, upon opening the True1.spr it is that size, however in game it is of a much greater size. I also noticed you can play it multiple times and each time it slowly moves, so I guess I was wrong I only know how to make a single image sprite. Actually upon further inspection I really cannot tell according to this it is totally 1 frame has a maximum size of 240 by 60 has a transparency mode of additive and has a bounding radius of 124.193 so any info upon how this is made would be great. go to that server to get the .spr files or email me and I will send them to you. _ Get MSN 8 and help protect your children with advanced parental controls. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/parental ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
