How to Upload a Gif Spray in Gmod

  1. Welcome to my tutorial on converting a GIF of your choice to a spray! To start off, this may be a little to complicated for some, if so - sorry.

    A proffer before nosotros go started, make sure your GIF of choice isn't overly long. And the more foursquare the GIF is, the better(say no to rectangles, they come out pocket-sized!).

    You'll demand a bit of software called "GifSplitter". What this does is splits your GIF into each individual frame which helps turn it into a blithe spray in our next step. You'll be happy to know this software is gratuitous, in that location are other not-associated versions, but this is the version I use:
    http://www.xoyosoft.com/gs/

    Once y'all have that downloaded and a GIF selected, we'll movement to the next step.

    For the purpose of this thread, I'll be using this GIF:
    [​IMG]

    One time you accept your .gif downloaded and GifSplitter downloaded, open up up GifSplitter. I highly propose yous click the "Auto fill up and create the output directory" checkbox every bit that makes it much easier.
    It should await like this:
    [​IMG]

    At present press the "..." next to the "Gif blitheness file" field, navigate to your GIF and select information technology. At this indicate y'all but click "Split up At present". It might take a while to go through each private frame.

    If you observe now, y'all should have a binder in the directory GifSplitter is in named later on the file y'all just split. Navigate to that directory. If you used my example GIF, it should await like this:
    [​IMG]

    Ignore the framelist.gsf file, delete it if yous desire. Information technology doesn't matter.

    For the next step you want "VTFEdit", this is a tool that allows you to make the .vtf blithe spray. Here is the link:

    In one case you've downloaded and installed this y'all're set up for the next footstep. Open up VTFEdit. Click "File" and and so "Import". Navigate to your directory with your GIF frames(from the step higher up), select all the images and click "Open".

    Next you'll get a complicated looking window. Thankfully it's rather uncomplicated, nil in this Window should be touched except the "maximum width" and "maximum superlative" field. I'd highly suggest you lot don't go over 256 pixels for either field, if y'all're GIF is foursquare, do the same values, if information technology's rectangular, make the height half the width. And so press "OK". You might have to wait a while.

    Information technology should expect like this after you're done(or similar):
    [​IMG]

    Don't worry that it looks boxed, in that location'southward zero you tin can do almost that. Try and find a square GIF or a rectangular i (I'd propose square, bigger ingame). Or you can edit the private files yourself to crop information technology to a square(lengthy).

    Now you can preview the animation by clicking "Play". As far every bit I'm aware there'south no way to change the speed at which the animation changes. But the speed shown in the window is faster then ingame, y'all might have to edit information technology later on.

    Once you're done reviewing it, press "Options" and then "Machine Create .VMT File". At present hit "File" so "Save" and requite it a name, by default information technology'll exist saved in the directory with all the gif frames.

    At this point review the .vtf file. If it'southward over 500kb, it's to big. Y'all can either make the resolution smaller in the first step or remove some frames that are unnecessary(y'all might exercise this anyway to increase fluidity and speed ingame). If information technology isn't over 500kb, you're most done!

    At present navigate to this directory:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\<your username>\garrysmod\garrysmod\materials\vgui\logos
    That's where all your sprays cease up, you tin't import this type in garrysmod modern successfully, then you need to copy both of the generated files(the .vtf and the .vmt) to the above directory. Once you've done that, open garry's mod and look for it in the spray list!

    I promise y'all've enjoyed learning how to make your own custom animated gif spray! If you take any trouble experience gratuitous to leave a reply.
