    I know it's possible to add sprays support to ZE server. Images are chosen by a server owner and they will be randomly sprayed when you press E (with a timeout period).

    You can also create a thread where people will suggest their favorite pictures.

    It's a small addon but I really like it :)

    While a nice idea, I try to keep the amount of downloads low, so less people ragequit because of them.
    Sprays aren't that necessary anyways.

    I agree, they aren't necessary, but I think players still like them (I see other people use them all the time), so it will make a server more competitive compared to others. And will make more people come back and play here again and again.

    I personally think lots of additional downloads aren't that important, you have a FastDL server anyway. You can also provide "resources pack" here at the forums (and advertise it on the server) so people with slow connections can pre-download and use them. In my opinion, more features and a slower start will attract more people than less features and a faster start.

    Well, the issue still stands that they have to be added to the models precache table (yes, materials are landing there too - don't ask), so server will crash sooner.
    Hopefully Valve will finally increase the limit soon.

    I've just read this topic on AlliedMods and now I got it. Valve is so fucking annoying. It costs them nothing to increase this damn limit, but they just don't care about the mod community, so they kill more and more maps with each update and make it impossible to use custom models/materials..
