Transparent Decals in Hammer Mapping

Yeah, but that leads to having to start lining up textures, and as the theme of my map means I want to have lots of sprays, it will be a nightmare, hence why I wanted to know if you can create spray decals/textures that can have that effect.

Transparent Decals in Hammer Mapping

Ok here is what I mean, took a screenie:


So all i want to do is to be able to apply a spray/text decal.
I understand this can be doen with transparency, but cannot find any guides which seem to work. So it's nto possible for me to create the spray as a transparent decal, so I can spray/apply it?.

Just need to know ;)

Thanks for taking the time to answer my dumb questions :)

Transparent Decals in Hammer Mapping

So for instance, if I wanted to make some graffiti to spray, say 'Bamz' on a wall, I could make a transparent texture to do this?.

Thanks

Transparent Decals in Hammer Mapping

First post so hi all :)

Ok spent most of today on this with Photoshop, Wally, and a trillion IE pages open, and I still can't see the penny drop atm.
Wood for the trees maybe.

I am trying to make transparent sprays/texts I can use in game. Some are just signs, others I want to be able to spray words on certain elements/brushes.

I have tried following to many tuts, using Wally, Decal Converter, I am a broken man ;)

Does anyone know how I can take some simple text on a transparent background, so I can use it as a decal in Hammer for CS 1.6?.
I mean from A to B here, as I am clearly missing a trick.

Thanks in advance.
