Importing sprays into Source creates shitty artifacts

Post by Hamel »

Ok, how do I import sprays and textures into Source games without them turning to shit?

My spray, in-game:

The original png, which looks exactly the same as the targa:

I know the jpg makes it look even worse, but the bottom of the spray clearly has artifacts introduced during the conversion. This also happened to some normal maps I took from Doom 3 and put into an HL2DM map.

In case you wonder, the original png was from an Objectdock icon set hosted on Deviantart.com--
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Neat idea. It has the illusion of being 3D in game.
