ABOUT Shinkansen

Do you do it?

Games are serious business, and in business, there are business relationships. Sometimes these are called friends, and friends are good because they have friends. That's called networking. However, the friends of friends of friends are just right out. We'll have none of that.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Transparent SHINKANSEN Sprays in TF2 & L4D2!

23 August, 2012 - Reibonne | 3 Comments

You can use either the standard .bmp image with the background, or the .tga with a transparent background. You'll need one downloaded before you proceed, and both are found in the link below.

Next, follow the appropriate steps for the correct game. This apparently can be duplicated in to most any game that uses the Steam engine.

Team Fortress 2:
1) Go to...
Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > [Your Username] > team fortress 2 > tf > materials

2) If in the 'materials' folder there is no folder labeled 'vgui', create one. If there is a folder, simply open it and proceed to the next step.

3) If within your 'vgui' folder there is not already a 'logos' folder, make one. Otherwise, enter it.

4) Within 'logos' should be a 'UI' folder. If there is not, make one.

5) Within the 'UI' folder, paste the .BMP 256 x 256 Shinkansen image.

6) Open Team Fortress 2, go to Options > Multiplayer, and then click the 'Import Spray...' button. Again, you will navigate to the 'UI' folder you'd just made/found. Select the image, and all should be ready.

Left 4 Dead:
1) Go to...
Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > left 4 dead 2 > left4dead2 > materials

2) If in the 'materials' folder there is no folder labeled 'vgui', create one. If there is a folder, simply open it and proceed to the next step.

3) If within your 'vgui' folder there is not already a 'logos' folder, make one. Otherwise, enter it.

4) Within 'logos' should be a 'UI' folder. If there is not, make one.

5) Within the 'UI' folder, paste the .BMP 256 x 256 Shinkansen image.

6) Open Left 4 Dead 2, go to Options > Multiplayer, and then click the 'Import Spray...' button. Again, you will navigate to the 'UI' folder you'd just made/found. Select the image, and it should be set.

No matter what game you're playing, it goes without saying that you'll need to know which button controls your spray paint tag, and that can be found under the your key settings for any particular game. I believe the default is 't'. Also, of course this should work with any 256 x 256 .BMP image, but why would you want anything else?

Happy tagging!

Holy crap. I just discovered the comments. And like three months late, but my millshake brings all the special infected to the yard. :|

PithyHomo, member of the week for being the most valuable asset in any left4dead2 campaign. Mostly because bait.

Also special infected and zombie hoardes find him the most attractive.

Bit by bit, we're forging a Twitch TV channel for more regular streaming of games. Keep an eye out!
