Custom Flag Mods

[Urbannaja]

I may be just stupid here....but how in the world do you get the custom flags to work? Every mod I've run has been fine...except for the flags. All I get are blank flags with no decals. I created my own civ as well with his own flag and followed all the directions I could find in here, but still...the flag won't show. I can set it to link to one of the retail flags and it works fine...but custom ones seem to be impossible......

Any hints or suggestions???

Thanks...

Set all <bWhiteFlag> references to 1 (that is unless your flag is based on alpha channels and not the actual RGB), save your DDS files DXT3 files. Things should end up working just fine. If you're looking for a reference I'd recommend taking a look at what I did in my Carthage mod XML files -- or generally any mod that modifies flags.

And... you posted in the wrong subforum.

Thanks...I had been looking at a ton of mods that changed the flags...but none of them worked when I ran the mod =/ The flag would just be a base color with no design.

Your Carthage flag DID work though...it seemed to be on the exact same DDS file settings as mine, so I have no idea what I was doing wrong. Sooo, I cut and pasted my image over yours and just saved it as is, and thankfully I got it to finally work lol Thanks alot for your help! It bothers me to not know what I did wrong...but at least it works now
