Post by: Dr Sadako on February 28, 2003, 12:25:43 PM
I can't see any sprays at all. Is there a setting that adjust this? I saw sprays before.

I mean that I don't see any sprays at all not even the default ones. That command just tells HL not to DL anything from the server that isn't standard i.e. custom sprays, sounds etc. Am I right?

Other peoples sprays ARE downloaded. I know this because, being an old git, I have set my cl_allowdownload to 0 so I don't see any of them! I don't care to see the place graffitied. One side effect is that when someone does spray I do see the 'Hostage rescue zone' instead of their spray.

Make sure you're using OpenGL.

I have run in direct3D and it has worked for the last 2 years until 2 weeks ago when all sprays disappeared.

The spay gnomes have stolen them. Give your PC a good shake and they should fall out the vent at the back. Then prod them with little sticks and demand your sprays back.


It might have had something to do with Tea Leaf and his sneaky Tea Leafs spray hidden in the new map pack plot?

Sadako mine disappeared recently too - it was immediately after that match where the server ran that config checker and fubar'd our HL settings for some reason :(

I also would like a fix, I'll try the DL thang, but I don't think that is it - I don't see the hossie rescue zones or bomb sites or any sprays at the moment....

Nope, the allowdownload 1 is not it - my config already sets that.  Any other guesses peeps?

...or...

HPK files

HPK is the file(custom.hpk, in your half-life directory) that stores downloaded decals. This file can get huge and the bigger it gets the longer it takes to load CS. Delete this file and then set hpk_maxsize to a low value, or 0 to disable it.

hpkextract [all|index number]
Extract files from hpk file


hpklist
List files in hpk file


hpkremove
Remove file from hpkfile


hpkval
Display checksum value for hpk file


hpk_maxsize X
Sets the max size, X, in bytes, of the hpk file.

...ooops, forgot to ask at end of the last post whether you had hpk_maxsize set to 0 which would disable it?

Last time I used D3D (wow, that was a while back) I had to change

gl_polyoffset "4"

in my config.cfg I think the page I found the info at said to try 1.5 or something like that. I am sure a google search of (gl_polyoffset) will point you in the right direction.

Folks,

To lower the number of sprays that hrut the gameplay, these servers change the following config enrty:

mp_decals

It means that only a certain number of decals, i.e. sprays etc  show on you rscreen at once. They are there in the game, others may see them but you don't. Try setting this to 20 or so or looking in your config file and if the entry is there, remove it.
