custom flags not showing

[lifeaquatic]

What would cause this? The world war 2 and american revolution and any other game that has custom flags, show a white flag. How can I fix this??

I have the same problem with my california mod(link in sig)

It appears that there are 2 groups of computers (or maybe graphic cards?):

- the ones which show only the flags with black alpha channel
- the ones which show only the flags with white alpha channel

Those flags that you mention are originaly made with black alpha channel so if you belong to second group (like I do) you wouldn't be able to see them.

The solution is easy but it has got a couple of steps...

1. Download DDS Converter

2. In Mods folder of Scenario which flag you want to change go to Assets\Art\Interface\TeamColor

3. With DDS Converter convert all .dds files in this folder to .psd

4. With Photoshop you will be able to change black alpha channel to white

5. After you saved renewed file with DDS Converter you can convert it back to .dds

6. Play the game with coloured flags

ahh shoot, I don't have photoshop right now. Would anyone be willing to post these flags from the games scenarios in white alpha??

use dds converter.

turn dds to bmp then bmp to dds. alpha channel black will get erased in the process.
