| Necessary software |
| 1. |
You must have a paintprogram such as PaintShop Pro, PC Paintbrust, Photoshop or Micrografx Picture Publisher. Only the Paint program from windows don't work. And remember that the picture must bee saved as a .bmp file, with 256 colors.
|
| 2a. |
You must also have a converter program. I use DecalConverter v1.3. This program is small (just 0,2 Mb), and only for HalfLife logos.
|
| 2b. |
You can also use the Wally: The freeware texture editing program. Download it from here Wally 1.55ß (about. 1,1 Mb). Read more about use of Wally here.

| The picture |
You have 2 ways to select at picture. You can download one ready to use, or make one.
If you make one take care on this:
Dimension of picture: The picture must have a usable size. The greatest picture i have done is 144*80, but remember that width and hight shell be able to divided by 16 like this: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144. The most used size is 64*128 or 128*64.
Colors and palette: Make and work with the picture in lot af colors (more than 8 bit). Donīt use pure blue (0,0,255), because this is the transperant color!
Save the picture: Before saving convert to 256 colors, and save as a Windows .bmp picture or as a .gif picture. If you use DecalConverter save it in the DecalConverter dir.
