Title: Where do sprays go in your steam directory?
Post by: Lester Roquefort on May 22, 2014, 09:45:59 pm: When you see em, where do they go in the folders? Or do they go anywhere?

I've always been curious, because of:

1. Hard Drive Space.

2. What nosey people might think.

Just remember where you drop your sprays so you can pull it up when you're prompted to do so.

animated sprays require an editing program to get the individual frames, something like Sony Vegas. There's a program something like VTFConverter (.vtf is the file format for sprays). there's walk-throughs on the internets on how to go about making animated sprays. http://gamebanana.com (http://gamebanana.com) has plenty of tutorials.

As for sprays that get downloaded from other players while on a server: tf/download/user_custom. Every .dat file is a spray.

That is where sprays are copied to be loaded by the game, but they're originally stored in tf/download/user_custom.

yeah it's safe to delete that. it's all custom stuff from clients, such as sprays.
