Team Fortress 2 Sprays

So I took a good bit of inspiration from a thread on the Steampowered forums (some really quality, theme-appropriate sprays in the first post, plus a few scattered later in it), plus GIMP and a couple half-baked ideas and the visual results were… pretty good… they used to be more flawed, but the miracle that is a fake shadow made them less flat and pixellated-looking. Though I suppose you decide for yourself!

Click the title of each description for a ZIP containing the spray. To install, just dump the contents into:

Now, in highly preferential order…

In-game Organs for Sale spray

Organs for Sale was inspired by a bit of a brainfart involving the deathcam gib labels when you died by explosion… they had to go somewhere, I thought. And the Medic was a likely candidate for collecting and “getting rid” of them. Being the Medic is a dirty job, having to be elbow-deep in the byproducts of pointless war, and I don’t think that a messianic complex is enough to keep him going day after day… this easy side business would probably make the effort much more worth it.

A preview is available, and this in-game screenshot is here just for your viewing pleasure.

In-game Demoman Clinic spray

Demoman Clinic was the result of the Medic wishing to better his team’s chances of victory by offering the Demoman his poison of choice in a more efficient way than by guzzling the stuff (in between blowing crap up, of course)… but the he realized that it was even more lucrative to offer various morale-boosting drinks intravenously to the rest of his teammates too. And so he held free clinics, and there was much rejoicing. But the morning after the fight was another story…

Here’s a preview of the Medic’s advertisment, as well as an in-game screenshot if you need more convincing evidence of the wonders of performance-enhancing beverages.

In-game medic spray

Assistance, bitte? There is a SPY among us arose out of a need to inform my teammates that I noticed a Spy nearby while I was playing as Medic… since the Spies would very likely go for me after poking around the battlefront for targets of interest, the fact that my teammates were too busy fighting to notice the blur of the Spy’s cloaking or any odd teammate behavior and since I’m busy doing my duty, it’s hard to get rid of the bastards myself. Since my mic wasn’t working properly at the time and teammates often seem to ignore my voice menu cries of “Spy!” and “Help!”… well, it was needed. This spray comes in teamcolor versions, though honestly it doesn’t matter unless if you like coordinating the syringe color that “pins” this poster to the wall with your current/preferred team affiliation.

There’s a RED version preview and its accompanying in-game screenshot available. The BLU version preview and its accompanying in-game screenshot are available as well.

In-game Rehab is for Losers spray

Rehab is for Losers was the result of a little bit of a brainfart I had one night… but it turned out reasonably well, even if it’s pretty simple. It also seems that those scotch bottles have a good bit of use left in them after they’re empty, besides smashing your enemies’ skulls in with them and getting tiny shards of of glass into their eyes…

A preview will give you the gist of it, and this in-game screenshot will hopefully sell you in on the merits of advertising your drunken mastery.

In-game Bill Stickers spray

Bill Stickers is Innocent! is based off of an amusing photo of a sign with a graffiti answer below it that completely rebrands the sign’s meaning. Fun for all ages!

There’s a preview as well as an in-game screenshot available.

In-game No Smoking But Flaming Welcome spray

No Smoking… But Flaming Welcome is a spray for all the Engies out there… for when they need a little extra somethin’ special to attract a Pyro buddy for the extermination of Spies who break their shiny stuff as well as to brighten the atmosphere of their nests o’ death. It’s also good for the Pyros themselves, if they want to be more of a wiseass than their gas masks will allow them.

I’ve got a preview and an in-game screenshot, and I hope a Pyro has your six!

In-game Snarky! spray

Snarky! is the first Source-based spray I ever tried making, so it isn’t much to look at. I mean it looks nice if I do say so, but it’s very simple. It’s basically just the name of the spray scrawled in green. Yup, that’ s it.

Here’s a preview and an in-game screenshot.
