[Osymandias]

well, here's the first load

78 new flags

they're mainly parts of flags and coat of arms of earth's nations and organisations. they're all in the alphachannel so they have civ-colour.

the zip contains:
-78 new flags
-for nearly ech flag there's also a so called mono_XX.bmp inserted which are not stretched and bigger than the flags and those are meant for button-making. you just have to fill in the civ-colours you use and resize it to the button-format of 64x64. if requested i could also make some buttons for you, but i will need the colours in RGB or in the format cIV uses.
-the civ4bracket.png, the buttonalpha.bmp and btn_example.dds

--> Visit my [GUIDE] How i invert civ-coloured flags in 6 steps to invert the colours of the flags like you want
--> for buttonmaking visit my [GUIDE] How i make flag-buttons from 0d1n3oo3Broad's mono_XX.bmps

have fun!


/edit: since the hay wasn't enough dry to bring it in i had time to update the zip. all mono_xx.bmp now are converted to rgb and some future graphics where deleted which where ment to be in a later pack

/bugfix: 31.07.2006 flagdecal_munkindl.dds hasn't contained the munich child, but the seagull. this was fixed and the seagull is added as flagdecal_möwe.dds.
also added ingame screens
/update: 08.08.2006 added a btn_example.dds to the zip.

Your ambitious! or may be even "industrious"

Sogar das Niedersachsenross! *freu*

 

[strategyonly]

i did that alpha change from white to black and my addon flag still comes out as "white"?

 

[Osymandias]

but this is not a flag of this pack i hope?

i think you haven't set the bWhiteFlag-value in the CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml to 1.

update --> see 1st post

 

[strategyonly]

Yes i did (change to 1)and your right its not one of "this pack" just needed a question answered and did not want to start another thread to a "simple" question. Sorry

Hahaha! F...I'm almost pissed at this because I spent most of last week finding images, cropping flags, pasting images, exchanging colours, etc. for CIV Gold 2.0 civs, and now you release this!

Great work - very good job.

Do you have a key that links the graphics to the countries? I can figure out most of them but not all of them.

 

[Osymandias]

well, i have all the original-flags and coat of arms from where i took the pics still on my pc. so i could look up some. many are also pictures from cities like Phoenix, Munich or Regensburg, some others where from flags of the german länder or us-states.....but i could update a summary in the first post. i will see if i get the time today to do this

 

[Osymandias]

a key was added in the first post

 

[strategyonly]

OK here goes, when i make a colored flag, which is DDS, where and how do i change the files for putting the new flag in a mod? (Anyone??)

 

[Osymandias]

the flagdecal_XX.dds belongs to the art\interface\TeamColor-folder. if you use none civ-coloured pictures, then you have to change the value of the bWhiteFlag-tag in the CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml to 1 and change the alphachannel of the flagdecal_XX.dds to black. the xml-file you will find in the xml\art-folder.

i hope this helps you

I did this above and the old flag is still under the new one, i tried to use the "red/white/blue" flag instead of the "star" flag in the SEVO mod (cant stand that star one, my opinion). I also tried to make a Confederate one and it came out white also when i placed it in the files. Here is what i have :
All the help i can get is appreciated.

 

[Osymandias]

i think your alphachannels weren't black.

also be sure that you haven't any typos in the xml or folder-/file-names.

i've attached your .dds with an black alphachannel. when you open it it will look white, but it is black. don't know why this is so.

if it won't work now, then i don't know what's wrong. but it should.

Very much appreciated, will take a look at them later today. How did you get the CSA one to work correctly?

 

[Osymandias]

the way i described it above.

-alpha-channel black
-bWhiteFlag = 1

 

[strategyonly]

the way i described it above.

-alpha-channel black
-bWhiteFlag = 1

Got the CSA one to work correctly, THX . Did i have it made right , what did i do wrong?

 

[Osymandias]

if you had set the bWhiteFlag = 1, then the alpha wasn't black.

as i said, if you fill the alpha with black, save the dds and load this dds again, then the alpha "looks" white, but is still black. weird.

I finally figured out what i was doing wrong, when you said for the DXT to save as DDS, well dumb me just saved it as what was there and not changing it to "Save as Type" to DDS DXT3 and then saving it, DUH, THX alot for your help. Much appreciated.
