Where the cs 1.6 spray file goes – tempdecal.wad
CS 1.6 reads your spray from tempdecal.wad in the cstrike folder. Save the tag there, or let the tool save it to the game folder for you:
- Steam:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\cstrike\tempdecal.wad - Non-Steam: your CS 1.6 install folder →
cstrike\tempdecal.wad
In the game press T to spray. Back up your old tempdecal.wad first if you want to keep the previous spray.
