Civ4 Flag Button Maker

asioasioasio · May 6, 2007

Special version of Buttonmaker - just for making flags. It contains file for Photoshop and Gimp. It's a little bit different (you need to choose Multiply in Layers) so i've put detailed tutorials how to make it inside .zip.

It's fast and easy method for making your flag buttons like civ4 orginal

Here is example:

I've already made my own .psd for making flags

I probably should have uploaded it before though.. anyway I like the last button

asioasioasio · May 6, 2007

Maybe your is better or easier

it's never to late to make something easier for community

Chuggi · May 6, 2007

Yours is better, I compared them :thumbsup:

Yours is the first one in the pic, then mine is the second, and the last one is just the australian flag with no shade on it.

Edit: Removed attachment.

I don't understand layers in Gimp. Can you tell me how it works or just make the pdn please. (DotNet is so user friendly !)

I want to beg nationality of the last country in the second row !

asioasioasio · May 6, 2007

Lol - but what unique unit this new nation should have?

Try this about layers
http://www.nwe.ufl.edu/writing/help/graphics/gimp/layers.shtml
Gimp is good program - maybe to tough in the begining but enough powerfull to be useful

I could make paint.net version, but not today

Nice duck on the link !
The thing is that I didn't find layers in gimp but they are evident with dotnet. I will convert for myself . I just hope I'm not the only one appreciating paintdotnet.

EDIT : Tried to export layer by layer but it doesn't work.

Ok I'll try to convert it today

About gimp probably you have turned it out
Go to Menu Dialogs / and choose Layers
You can also may try Gimpshop - http://gimpshopdotnet.blogspot.com/ wich is more intuitive (i use it @ home) and more convienient

I can get pain dot net to work
old version gets communicat that this beta version has expired.
When i install new version the instalation file doesn't work - the instalation stops. Sorry i can't help with version for paint dot net

snipperrabbit!! · May 8, 2007

It's now version 3.05, I think it needs desinstallation first OR more unlikely a framework update. If you PM me conversion process you use I can do it myself. You mlust know I've encountered problems with some transparency layers I was unable to convert properly Or if you have individual layers in BMP, GIF, JPEG , PNG, ... send me please.

You forgot the best countries on earth

asioasioasio · Jul 2, 2007

I've made around 60 flag-button right now and still counting

. It was hard in the begining to reconstruct the shadows on the flag, but now it's very convinient

These are great, I like UK, Germany, and EU

snipperrabbit!! · Jan 20, 2008

Will be ported to paint.net tomorrow. Just need fine tuning on the settings.

Gaius Octavius · Jan 20, 2008

Er... this may be a silly question, but why do you even need a custom flag button maker? Isn't pretty easy just to use a program like DXTBmp and overlay a scaled-down flag with the button interface?

snipperrabbit!! · Jan 20, 2008

GO,

see this post.

Gaius Octavius · Jan 20, 2008

Ah, I see the difference now - it has little waves and things. Understood.

asioasioasio · Jan 21, 2008

Thx Welshdragon

Yup in style similliar to civ

asio,

I tried your gimp file to make this button but wheever I save to dds it flattens the image. What am I doing wrong? And why does the gimp file have all the flags in there instead of just one?

snipperrabbit!! · Apr 10, 2008

Ek, you can choose active layers and then do a chain work to get a load of flag buttons.
