Decal Size Created 19 years ago2005-07-28 05:00:43 UTC by AlexPM

Hi,

Is there an easy way of changing the size of a decal or do they always just come out as the same size as the texture you are using (e.g. 256X256)?

Thanks

Nope, you can easily change the size. Simply click on the decal and use the white boxes to make it bigger or smaller (just like manipulating a brush).

You use an entity called info_decal or info_overlay? I forgot to be honest because I just use the standard size ones anyway.

info_overlay

Hit Shift-O and apply using the 3D view (just click on the brush you want it on). Loads better than the old way.

Hmm I tried that. Maybe I'm doing something wrong: I pick a texture, click on the apply decal button and then click on a brush in the 3D view. I get a little purple box in the 2D views called "info_decal". If I try changing the size of this box it just moves the decal without changing the size of it . Any suggestions? :

Thanks

Did you try Shift-O? Once you apply the decal, simply right-click on it in the 2D view and go to Properties. From there, you can choose the decal you want it to be, as well as various other options.

It needs to be an info_overlay to do this.

Info_decals are good for small details which dont need a size change, overlays for everything else.

Yup an overlay did the trick. Thanks! Is there a problem with putting a decal on a large brush? I tried applying one to my floor but I can't see it when I load the level

I don't even use the info_decal anymore: just the info_overlay.
