How to make a flashlight Difficulty: Intermediate
Category: CS:S > Skinning	Author(s): dpmoeckel
Notes: You will need VTF edit or The Photoshop VTF plug-in (I won't cover the Plug-in part even though they are the same). First so get it if u don't already have it. Here (contact me if the link is dead) 1. Get an image off the internet or make one, it doesn't matter. It all depends on what you want. 2. Open Photoshop or whatever editing program you want, doesn't matter. I use Photoshop CS2. Create a new image with the size being 512x512 pixels for best results. 3. Cut the background out of the image and use the fill tool to make the background black or however you would like to do it. 4. Now save that file as a Targa. 5. Now open VTF edit. 6. Import that Targa. 7. Now look to the side of you, you see that menu? Good now check off these following things: (screenshot 3) A) Clamp S B) Clamp T C) No Mipmap D) Eight Bit Alpha E) Nice filter 8. Once you have done that Save your newly made flashlight file as Flashlight001.vtf 9. Now put that file under cstrike>materials>effects> 10. You are done! CONGRATS! P.S If you wanna make sounds with your flashlight make a folder under the cstrike>sounds and then call your folder "items" find your favorite .wav and paste it in there and and call it Flashlight1.wav. (Yes it has to be a .wav file no .mp3 files)

This tut is ass, you dont even explain into detail, this isnt a tutorial. Tutorials teach people how to do something with detail. I cant even get passed step 2 cause you wont tell what buttons to press and where.

How the hell did u get that flash worked. I made a picture erased the background, made a new one (black), saved etc. as vtf ofc. in the right map but i cant select nice filter. Is that a must? cause in the game i have the normal flash.

I can't get the sounds to work on my flashlight. I think it's all been done right. it's in sounds - Items and its called Flashlight1. It's a wav. Any ideas?

I can't check Eight bit alpha. I think I must have done something wrong with background filling...
