pyspray

In order to use pyspray, you must have python installed on your system.

pyspray can be installed via pip with py -m pip install pyspray or python -m pip install pyspray via the command line, depending on your platform. For simplicity, all commands will be given using py (which is the default alias on some Windows systems).

pyspray should be run as a module using py -m pyspray <args>. In order to see a list of available commands, run py -m pyspray --help.

To get further information about any of these commands, run py -m pyspray <command_name> --help.

Commands and Basic Usage Examples

Before creating any sprays, pyspray needs to know where your Team Fortress 2 directory is. These files can be found by right clicking on Team Fortress 2 in your Steam games menu, mousing over the Manage tab, and then clicking Browse Local Files.

Once you have the file path of the Team Fortress 2 directory, run py -m pyspray set-directory <file_path>

Static Sprays

A static spray is simply a single image. To create one, run py -m pyspray static <filepath_or_url_of_image> --name <name_of_spray>. The name can be omitted, but the autogenerated names are simply the timestamps of creation, and are easy to mix up.

Faded Sprays

A faded spray is a spray that changes as you move closer or further away from it. To create a faded spray, run py -m pyspray fade <url_or_filepath_of_image> <url_or_filepath_of_image>... --name <name_of_spray>. The images should be listed such that the first image is the one you want shown from furthest away, and the last image is the one you want shown from nearest.

Animated Sprays

An animated spray is a spray that moves, and can be made from filetypes like gifs, webms, and mp4s. To create an animated spray, run py -m pyspray anim <path_or_url_to_animated_file> --name <name_of_spray>. Note that this works best with short animations, as sprays have a filesize limit of 512 KB.
