Fix your spray.

Chris@GPOINT:
Some of you may noticed that there is a bug with your sprays, i dont know if all of you have this or only some of you, atleast i have this bug.
 
BUG: The config.cfg is not correctly loading.
I noticed that my spray is in it long time ago but i didnt know that its not loading correctly cause all the other settings (binds etc.) works great, thanks Berni for solution 1).

The last used spray is not saving, means you have to set it again after game restart. For all who have the same problem, 4 possible solutions to fix it. Let me know how it works cause these fixes wasnt figured out by me. All sounds plausible. I will try them too.
 
 
 
1) Best solution:   
* Open your steam game library.
* Right-Click on HL2DM and properties.
* Open the Launch Options.
* Most of you already have +console and/or +novid in it so here is the command for reload the config.cfg at every start of HL2DM. +exec config.cfg"2) Easy solution:   
* Download this spray. http://www.mannisfunhouse.eu/gpoint/ccount/click.php?id=30
* Replace it with the files in the same folder as this download folder.
* If everything works fine you will now have the default spray (trashcan) at every start of HL2DM.
3) Also easy: (tested and it works perfect)   
* Open your steam game library.
* Right-Click on HL2DM and properties.
* Open the Launch Options.
* Most of you already have +console and/or +novid in it so here is the command for set your spray. +cl_logofile "materials/vgui/logos/sprayname.vtf"
* For sprayname.vtf you can set every .vtf name in folder STEAM\SteamApps\youraccount\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\materials\VGUI\logos or if you know how to create your own .vtf, save it there.
4) Maybe a bit difficult:   
* Open your autoexec.cfg with notepad, if you dont have one just start notepad.
* Add this line in it. cl_logofile "materials/vgui/logos/sprayname.vtf"
* For sprayname.vtf you can set every .vtf name in folder STEAM\SteamApps\youraccount\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\materials\VGUI\logos or if you know how to create your own .vtf, save it there.
* "Save" or "save as" it as autoexec.cfg (all files)Tell me your experience. And if you already know these things dont troll. :P

DaftMink:
I'd highly suggest everyone download and install method 1.

It fixes a rather annoying exploit that would allow server's to change your spray to an advertisement which might end up getting you banned.

Over at [MGO] we have it set up so clients install a similar patch so this doesn't happen.

Berni:
I tested a little bit around, it seems the problem is that HL2 doesn't correctly load the config.cfg file, but saves to it.
So I added "+exec config.cfg" to my command line and woops, it's working  ;D

Alright, this is cool, thanks for fixes, I always wondered why if I spray my spray  it doesn't show on the wall etc. I always thought it's couse of the map textures.
Thanks guys.

DajKamienia!:
GPOINT, the helper of the people! I'll do second method, because it's easier imho. Thanks for the aid, and can I add command like "+voice_loopback 1" too?
