Q&A
What is tempdecal.wad?
tempdecal.wad is a custom spray format used in GoldSrc engine games such as Half-Life, Counter-Strike 1.6, and Sven Co-op. These games only offer a limited selection of preset sprays by
default. You can use any custom image as a spray with a custom tempdecal.wad, including full-color images!
Where should I place the tempdecal.wad?
The default installation paths for each supported game are listed
below. Save your tempdecal.wad into the appropriate folder:
- Sven Co-op
<Game Folder>\svencoop- Counter-Strike 1.6
<Game Folder>\cstrike- Half-Life
<Game Folder>\valve
To locate the Game Folder, open Steam, navigate to your Library, right-click the game, and select Manage > Browse local files.
Additionally, we highly recommend setting the tempdecal.wad to read-only to prevent the game from
overwriting your custom spray with a default one. To do this,
right-click the file, select Properties, check the Read-only box under the General tab, and click OK.
That's it! You are now ready to use your custom spray in-game.
Note for Sven Co-op players
You must enable custom sprays in the game options. Launch the game, open the Options menu, navigate to the Multiplayer tab, and click Advanced.... Under the Graphics section, set Custom player sprays to Enabled. We also recommend setting the cache size to Large cache (16MB).
Note for pixel art sprays
To ensure pixel art sprays remain sharp and crisp instead of
blurry, open the in-game developer console and run the following
command: gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR.
