What is an SPR file?
An SPR file is a sprite used by the PC versions of Half-Life, a popular first-person shooter. It contains one or more 2D images used to skin an in-game object, such as a character, visual effect or user interface element. Modders have created tools that allow them to open and edit Half-Life's SPR files.
More Information
Valve Half-Life is a first-person shooter and puzzle-solving game in which players must escape from a research facility while fighting off aliens. The game uses assets saved in a variety of proprietary file formats, including the SPR format. (The PS2 version of Half-Life instead uses sprites saved as .SPZ files.)
Typically, Half-Life's SPR files are saved in the following directory:
half-life/valve/sprites
Half-Life modders sometimes modify or replace the game's default SPR files. This allows them to customize how in-game objects appear.
How to open an SPR file
You can use SprView or Sprite Explorer to view the sprite(s) an SPR file contains. Additionally, you can use the sprite-related tools on the HL-Programs webpage to create and modify Half-Life sprites.
