Flags

[junk2drive]

I am working on a mod that includes on map flags. I used bmps that I had made for CM, resized them to 128x128 and saved them as 24 bit bmps, the same as the german eagle and russian star bmps.

In game, the get the flappin' in the breeze look, but are very dark. They also seem to be stretched outward from center.

Any clue how to fix this?

I changed the HUD country icons pngs no problem, what are the icons used in the Set Battle screen next to Choose Side?

Post them here J2D and I will take a look at them. Are they indexed colour or RGB colour? PCK doesn't like indexed bitmaps

They are in the SCW mod thread. Thanks for having a look. I don't even know what indexed is.

I am using a clean PCK install with no mods and they work fine for me.

You will need to shrink the actual flag part down a bit as these bitmaps were used for both in game and scenario UI assests and flags so the 128x128 aspect ratio is not correct for a flag, but otherwise they work for me.

Weird.

The original bmps, german eagle.bmp and russian star.bmp are 128x128 so that's what I made them.

I tested them in a winter battle so maybe the season or time of day effected what I saw.

Yep, a summer battle and the flags are fine except for the stretching. I can live with that until there are SCW scenarios to play. Then I'll fix it.

Still looking for which icons are used in the set battle screen.
