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.

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

No no...

I mean, the ones other people spray on the walls.

Other people's sprays are just uploaded onto the server for you to see while they are on said server. As far as I know, they are never downloaded to your computer.

/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/materials/vgui/logos is the directory for sprays. note the file must be in .vtf format for gifs.

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 has plenty of tutorials.

If you're talking about your own sprays, you normally place them in the directory Nova mentioned.

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