Ehrr...I know there is a bug that wont allow you to import .Jpeg or .Gif files and only .Targ...but does anyone know how to fix this because its really tedious to convert the damned things!

At times I found it the most reliable to create VTF files and use that for sprays, since it's Valve own format for textures. Take a peek here for VTF-related utilities.

However if you're lazy and don't want to use 3rd party tools for VTF files, 256x256 24 bit BMP files works the best. However you can't exactly make animated or transparent sprays if you import it as a BMP.

I use Gimp to save to .tga files, just uncompressed and encoding from top instead of bottom. This is the same that Second Life used, and it works great.

While we're speaking of transparent sprays, does anybody have any idea how to make one? I managed to get transparency on my .png picture, but somewhere between the tga and vtf conversion something went wrong and it simply became white.

VTFEdit supports the PNG format too, so no need to convert it to TGA as well.
Sounds like you somehow managed to either get ride of the alpha layer when converting it to TGA, or you simple just forgot somehow to enable the alpha for the VTF. I should really make a short guide on how to convert a spray properly with VTFedit...

for "most" sprays, i import them into another steam game that does allow importing (dayofdefeat, counterstrike or cs: source, etc, then copy and past its spray directory into tf2, bam, sprays
