(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Since there are so many people wanting to know how to create text out of carepackages in the sky (a.k.a. sky text Winky Winky ), I decided to make a tutorial on how to do it. This works with both of TheUnkn0wn's programs. I prefer his second one so I'm going to use that.

1.Open up BMP2CODE-[2.5.1.0]

2.Click "Create Blank BMP" and leave the X and Y values the way they are

3.Open up your newly created .bmp file in paint and edit it MUST BE IN BLACK
left click = black and right click = white

4.Make sure to flip the image then save and close Paint

5.Go back to BMP2CODE-[2.5.1.0] and select "Load BMP" and choose your file

6.Then go to "Layer Height" and set it between 1,000 - 1,500

7.Select "Generate Code"

8.Add it to your patch but make sure to have:
    WP(X,Y,Z){B=spawn("script_model",self.origin+(X,Y, Z));B.angles=(90,0,0);B setModel("com_plasticcase_enemy");}

Somewhere in that same .GSC file

Then just save your patch and it should work fine. If you get a blob of carepackages then try change the resolution of the file. If you have any questions pm me or reply down below.

Any Model Eh? So Even Something Like AC-130 Planes? Cars? Would'nt You Just Replace The setModel("com_plasticcase_enemy");}

I Know You Have Retired From MW2 But What's The Code For Other Models? (N00b Question I Know)

yup you can replace
    com_plasticcase_enemy


With any model.

    com_plasticcase_friendly
sentry_minigun

When your skytext doesnt work with this
    WP(X,Y,Z){B=spawn("script_model",self.origin+(X,Y,Z));B.angles=(90,0,0);B setModel("com_plasticcase_enemy");}

you should test it with this one from TheWraith-- Skytext
    WP(D,Z,P){L=strTok(D,",");for(i=0;i<L.size;i+=2){B=spawn("script_model",self.origin+(int(L[i]),int(L[i+1]),Z));if(!P)B.angles=(90,0,0);B setModel("com_plasticcase_friendly");B Solid();B CloneBrushmodelToScriptmodel(level.airDropCrateCollision);}} 


so it looks like:
    WP(D,Z,P){L=strTok(D,",");for(i=0;i<L.size;i+=2){B=spawn("script_model",self.origin+(int(L[i]),int(L[i+1]),Z));if(!P)B.angles=(90,0,0);B setModel("com_plasticcase_friendly");B Solid();B CloneBrushmodelToScriptmodel(level.airDropCrateCollision);}} 

CODE()
{
//Layer 0
WP("325,330,350,330,400,330,425,330,500,330,525,330,575,330,600,330,675,330,700,330,725,330,750,330,775,330,850,330,875,330,950,330,975,330,1000,330,1025,330,1125,330,1150,330,1175,330,1250,330,1275,330,1300,330,1400,330,1425,330,1450,330,1475,330,1500,330,1550,330,1575,330,1600,330,1625,330,1750,330,1775,330,1850,330,1875,330,1900,330,1925,330,2000,330,2025,330,2075,330,2100,330,2200,330,2225,330,325,360,350,360,400,360,425,360,500,360,525,360,550,360,575,360,600,360,675,360,700,360,750,360,775,360,850,360,875,360,950,360,975,360,1000,360,1025,360,1125,360,1150,360,1175,360,1250,360,1275,360,1300,360,1400,360,1425,360,1475,360,1500,360,1600,360,1625,360,1750,360,1775,360,1900,360,1925,360,2000,360,2025,360,2075,360,2100,360,2200,360,2225,360,325,390,350,390,375,390,400,390,425,390,525,390,550,390,575,390,600,390,675,390,700,390,750,390,775,390,850,390,875,390,950,390,975,390,1000,390,1025,390,1100,390,1125,390,1150,390,1175,390,1200,390,1225,390,1250,390,1275,390,1300,390,1325,390,1400,390,1425,390,1475,390,1500,390,1600,390,1625,390,1700,390,1725,390,1750,390,1775,390,1850,390,1875,390,1900,390,1925,390,2000,390,2025,390,2050,390,2075,390,2100,390,2200,390,2225,390,325,420,350,420,400,420,425,420,525,420,550,420,575,420,675,420,700,420,750,420,775,420,850,420,875,420,950,420,975,420,1000,420,1025,420,1100,420,1125,420,1175,420,1200,420,1225,420,1250,420,1300,420,1325,420,1400,420,1425,420,1475,420,1500,420,1600,420,1625,420,1750,420,1775,420,1900,420,1925,420,2000,420,2025,420,2075,420,2100,420,2200,420,2225,420,325,450,350,450,400,450,425,450,525,450,550,450,575,450,675,450,700,450,725,450,750,450,775,450,850,450,875,450,950,450,975,450,1000,450,1025,450,1100,450,1125,450,1175,450,1200,450,1225,450,1250,450,1300,450,1325,450,1400,450,1425,450,1450,450,1475,450,1500,450,1600,450,1625,450,1700,450,1725,450,1750,450,1775,450,1850,450,1875,450,1900,450,1925,450,2000,450,2025,450,2075,450,2100,450,2150,450,2175,450,2200,450,2225,450,2250,450",1500,0);
