Colored Photo Badge

[old acc]

Are coloring photo decals still possible? I know it is with the Objector but I've heard that it's not with the Photo Badge.

Probably if you have the correct stuff

Yes, I'll tell you how.
So you go to steamapps/common/team fortress 2/tf/custom.

Then, if these files are not there, proceed to make them inside of custom.
userstuff > scripts > items > custom_texture_blend_layers

Once in the last folder., name your photo badge picture Photo_Badge_Overlay, save it in PNG format, make sure it's res is 128x128, DO NOT USE 256x256 or IT WILL NOT WORK!

Apply decal once that is done, it should be the PNG picture named Photo_Badge_Overlay.png

If this STILL does not work, go to TF2, properties, and verify the game cache.
If the color is off, go to the white and black color sliders when applying the decal and make sure that it is ALL the way white.

What size file do you need for a sign?

You forgot a point.

TF2 MUST be closed all the time when youre doing this.
Its very similar to the custom decal for the objector

Yeah, forgot about that.

There is your response to the size of the PNG image.
It applies to basically everything, and I mean Everything.

Eyy, can I ask some questions about how to make a colored sign?

I believe you can do that with most decal-based items.
Like those people that put Demo's eye in the Photo Badge...Classic.

that's a separate item

for some reason I have done everything in this completely and yet it still doesn't work. i've looked over spelling the game cache went all to white tried 4 different images all with the Photo_Badge_overlay in it and all a png and yet nothing. it worked perfectly fine on a conciencious objector with a paper_overlay and a flair with the file name but it just doesn't work with the photo badge help

Yeah... The 64-bit update broke this method. Currently I have been unable to find any current method to do it that is this simple, but there are very complex ways to do it though.
