VTF file "too big"

[MegaAmp]

I have checked most of the precautions for creating an animated VTF spray and made sure that the file did not exeed 512,(244 I think)bytes, but the console keeps saying that the file is too big. Is 300KB larger than 512,(244) bytes?

Can't answer. Undertake emojis are keeping me the ♥♥♥♥ away.

Reading your info box, the spray you were trying to import was probably pornographic in nature.

My only theory is that you have been stopped due to the divine intervention of God himself.

What on my info box gave you the idea that i was going to make a porn spray?

I would suggest reading it for a refresher. You hit so many clichés that it's impossible for it to not cross the mind of anyone viewing your profile.


Anyway, to actually be helpful to you. Your spray's size cannot exceed 512x512 pixels.

The size limit is 512KB, 512x512.
If your vtf file is greater than 512KB, reduce de animation size to 256x256. If it still is greater than 512KB, I'm sure it has a lot of frames.

I have tried reducing the frames and checking to make sure the file size was smaller that 512KB and size was smaller than 512x512 but it still counts it as over the byte limit

Weird, that is pretty much all about it.
Did you try to import it directly from in-game? Or you placed the files in a wrong folder, maybe?

Nope I checked and made sure it was in the right folder and imported it directly from in game

Maximum file size limit for sprays is 512kb and maximum size is also 512x512.
In case you wanna make an animated spray I'd recommend you use 256x256 or 128x128 and stick to not more than 6 frames at best.

Uh anyways, a spray with 300kb should work. Maybe you're doing something wrong.

Don't use the internal import for animated sprays.
Place the .vtf and .vmt in tf\materials\vgui\logos and the game automatically detects it the next time you launch the game.
If it doesn't work, create a folder named ui inside logos and put them there too.
Launch the game and check if it appears in the list. No need to use the import option.

Can't tell if you're trying too hard, or not hard enough.
