What am I doing wrong?

I want to add my dancing cow, only enlarged, to the game as a spray. However, everything I try and everything I do, it doesn't work. I see it fine in the options when I set it, and when I create a server to test it, I hear the spray sound but I don't see it.

I just want my cow in game. :(

Also when I import the png files I save out of photoshop into vtfedit, they don't show black where they should be transparent. It's just white.
 
try making it a tga, if that doesn't work you can use VTFedit to make the actual vtf iirc although it's been years since I made a spray that way

I tried everything. No worky. Spray no showy.
 
SprayR.

Easiest way to go from gif to animated spray. IMO there's no beating this tool. The only thing you have to worry about is if you want to do transparency, you have to fill the cornermost pixels with gray dots or else random edges will appear in the spray.

<--- my favorite spray (gif source) right now

EDIT: It's also got to be below a certain size before the spray will work ... just throwing that out there.

I downloaded SprayR and it kept giving me an error that it couldn't find the directory, couldn't find the directory... blah blah blah. :(

Plus their website and most of the downloads except for one mirror are fubar.
 
Sprays that I download from sites like gamesprays.com also don't work.

EDIT: Double Post, sorry.
 
For some reason, pictures will only be allowed to be used a spray on TF2 and CS:S if they're a bitmap. It's weird on my PC.
 
I had to uninstall my TF2 and reinstall it. That seemed to do the trick.
