spraying in ttt server
#12
This happens sometimes. Here's the deal, the way we disallow sprays is by setting a cvar on the server that prevents players from uploading files to other people on the server. Sprays are just VTF files that get uploaded to every person on the server every time you spray, that's how you see it.. but since uploading is disabled, we don't get the texture for it, and while the spray is technically "there" as an object, we can't see it on the server.

Here's the catch, spray textures get cached, so if you actually join a server with sprays enabled and someone places a spray, that texture will stay cached on other servers. If that same player happens to use that spray on our server with sprays disabled, he can't upload the spray texture anyone else, but since you have it cached it will show up normally. This happens a lot with sprays on Gamebanana, since it's likely that two random people will happen to have the exact same spray file. This is why a lot of people have probably seen this popular spray on our server (or other popular servers with disabled sprays); you've seen someone else place it down on a spray enabled server.

TL;DR you were in a server where someone else used that spray and it got cached, no big deal
