Is that illegal?

It probably isn't because your the only one who can see the picture.

It's not illegal but I think it is against the rules? o.O Dunno? Some people have changed their kill marks is that allowed?

Kill marks are allowed, i don't think sprays would be though if it can change what an opponent's spray looks like to you.

Its not allowed, but as its impossible for us to check, its a pretty white grey-area.
Several MODs have released custom content et cetera.

We check for third party software, not custom sprays.

So that means were allowed custom kill marks?

Considering a MOD has made a couple sets of custom kill marks before, that'd be a yes.

If its not illegal,its very cool.

Its fine.
Just remember that you're the only one seeing them, the other players see the original spray.

(And don't mess with the sitting fire sprays as they actually are useful)

I nodded a few. I put a big DECOY sign on top of the GR and BL signs just to make sure I don't shoot them.

I actually changed the stupid 'peeping tom' and the other bathroom one, as well as the green 'desertion' and the team logos to other ones I found in the folder. That is to say, CF Chinese/Japan ones that we have but don't use. Here's the sprays I changed them to:



If you want to have these I put them renamed into a zipped folder on MegaUpload, if you want them here's the link:

Add them to the spray folder in Crossfire. That would be this folder for most people:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Z8Games\CrossFire\rez\UI\Spray

You might want to rename the old ones though before you replace them. Like change 'spray_i00' (the BL icon) to 'former spray_i00' in case you want to go back to the original ones.
