&idea I was wondering if one of the fine BAT and LOT makers would be interested in helping me with a simple lot. I would like a little 2x2 and/or 3x3 flag plaza with an animated Schulmania flag as the centerpiece. I will be happy to send a bucket of schulmonetas to anyone willing to help Schulmania out.
Thanks!
I have asked the BSC FlagMaster to come and have a look ... I suggest that you post the graphics here for him to see.
Thanks! It's a simple tricolor. Here it is.

A simple tricolour will take no time at all. (I've got a template for those!) Just one question, is it supposed to be grey, black and white?
Ok, job done! If you want to PM me your email address, I'll send it to you.

Wow! Swift work Geoffhaw!
So, I was wondering if you'd be so kind as to make me one too? *blush*
If you would, I would really appreciate it. ;D
This is the flag of the Imperial Republic of Elytheria:

If you're making the LOT and not necessarily only the prop, I would appreciate it if you'd put it on a sandstone base.
Now that one's a little more challenging... &mmm
I'll knock up a test shot to see how it looks. Most of the detail will be lost of course, due to the small size of the flag in the game.
Thank you Geoffhaw, it is truly appreciated. ;D
I'm sorry if it's challenging, but thanks for taking the time to give it a try. :thumbsup:
Hmmmm .... isn't it great to have a specialist onboard ... &hlp
Sure is. Quick question, are these compatible with the OFMN mod?
I dont think so ... but Geoff is the guy to respond to that.
Any flag can be converted to be compatible with PEG's OFMN mod, by changing the IID of the Flag prop to 073d4582.

Ahh, excellent. Is there a tutorial on how to create a flag? I'd like to edit the aussie one and remove the extra stars.
If you want to make the Kiwi flag, don't bother - I've already done it! It will be in my BSC Flag Pack 3. If you want the flag prop now, just PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

You are a ledgend, &apls
Thanks.
I take it this is one I have to change the IID of?
@ Diggis - I just saw your email address in your profile, so the flag is on its way. If you want this one to be your OFMN flag, just change the IID and you should be fine.
@ M4346 - I had a go at just one frame of the animation, and this is what it looks like. Not too bad I think - the zigzag edge will look better when animated. If you want me to carry on, let me know. Also, if you want a simple plop lot like those shown above, let me have the Base Texture IID you want, and I'll change my standard test lot to suit.

That looks great! I would appreciate it if you'd continue... :thumbsup:
I'll make my own lots for the flag, I really don't mind. So you don't have to worry about that too. :)

Geoffhaw: Thank you so much! That is wonderful! I will PM you shortly. I am very pleased with this! ;D ;D :thumbsup: &apls
OK, I'm trying to use the reader to change the exemplar number. And I do this how...? I'll check the omnibus on ST, but does anyone know where i should be looking? &mmm
Ummm, I have just played around and think I have it.... Never found a tutorial. &mmm
What I did was...
Open the file in the reader. Along the top is a button saying file info, I clicked this.
this brings up a dialouge box, in here is an edit button and you get the list of numbers. I changes the instance to the number Geoff gave me.
If someone who knows could tell me if I'm right that would be much appreciated.
CLick on the exemplar to select it.
Click the icon File Info
Click Edit
Change the needed values
Click OK
Close that window
Right click om the exemplar and click on reindex
Right click om the exemplar and click on rebuild dir file
I know this is a too quick guide, but I am very short of time now ::)
I hope this helps
Ooops, I missed the last post.... yes, you are right ;)
Wiked. It didn't crash my game so I seem to be fine. Now all I need to do is figure out which lots have it so I can show it off. :thumbsup:

Thank you very much Geoffhaw, it looks excellent, and yes the shield "jumps around," but it's not the end of the world! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

OK, you have the same problem as I did when I started doing the flags!
The IID coding and the value coding in the ATC file have to be precise. This is an area which I didn't cover in my tutorial because I didn't understand it at the time. (I've been meaning to update the tutorial to cover this, but haven't got around to it yet. I'll try to do this in the next couple of weeks, and upload it here.)
Instead of trying to explain it here, if you want to send me the file (geoffhawksworth@aol.com) I will amend the file and send it back to you.
I sent you the .FSH file. Thank you very much for your help :)
I have amended the file, and taken screenshots from the Reader to show the fields which must agree. Hopefully the screenshots are self explanitory. I have allocated the fsh and prop IIDs from my own range.

@ sebes - yes the Amsterdam flag is now on the list. In fact, as it is a recognised national/sub-national flag I'll include it in the BSC Flag Pack 3.
@ socomseal45 - I'm afraid your flag is a bit of a non-starter. As I said above, the maximum size for a flag ingame is only 35x19 pixels, and your flag when reduced to this size is just a splodge of colour. See below. Sorry!

Yes, I am still here, and your post is a perfect example of why you are getting you a bad reputation on this board.
When I made the offer of making flag requests, I was worried that sooner or later someone would take the "I want I want I want" attitude. I do these flags in my own spare time. They take on average seven hours to do, and I am not going to spend the equivalent of a full day's work, unless I like what I'm making. I have lots of other work to do for the BSC that will help and enhance people's enjoyment of the game, without just catering to one off jobs for one person.
Now, on to the more polite requests.
@ bat and sebes - I've just picked up work on your flags again, although I am making slow progress. Bear with me!
@ pipishere - Nice flag, I'll put it in the queue. No promises as to a delivery date though.
@ Frankie - mmm, this one made me smile. I had a request from Simgoober a couple of years ago to make a Confederate flag, and I started to do the one you requested. However, it soon became clear that he wanted the Southern Cross one, so I abandoned the Stars and Bars version, and made the SC one instead. (Released in BSC Flag Pack 1 on the LEX). I'll attach an image of the test shot from when I started it at the bottom of this post. As you've requested it, it too goes in the queue.
@ Fledder200 - Sorry, but I just don't like this. If you want to post a more 'traditional' flag, I'll have a look, but I won't be doing this.
@ sarungman - Just to be clear, I won't be doing this flag.
In view of everything, I've had a think about a policy for requests. This is what I've come up with:
1 - I am happy to do any real National or Sub-National flags.
2 - I am happy to do any real historical flags.
3 - Any flag requests that fall outside 1 or 2 will have to come from members here who have established Mayor's Diaries. I put a lot of time into these, with little return. Those people who take the time to write Mayor's Diaries do the same for the community, and I am willing to return their efforts.
4 - I reserve the right to decline a flag request if I don't like it. Any subsequent revised requests will of course be considered afresh as long as it falls into 1, 2 or 3 above.
5 - I will deliver to my own schedule, as BSC work comes first.
Hopefully, the above is reasonable and makes sense.
Finally, here is the flag I started earlier...

It's the Sami flag, you could say they are native people that arrived before the Norwegians, Swedes, Fins and Russians , though we have also lived here for thousands of years. They have their own territory in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden. Finland and Russia, though they're not doing that good in Russia. They got forced to move by the soviet union to the centre of the Kola Peninsula.

Hi Geoff,
I've been asking around about custom flags and Diggis kindly pointed me in this direction.
I appreciate that the thread has gone quiet for a while - but hey, in the spirit of "if you don't ask......", I thought I'd ask ;)
My MD is called West End and I'd love to have the West End flag in-game. I'm sure as an Englishman you'll recognise the design of the flag and if you look at my avatar you'll be able to work out the reason behind the colour scheme :) Now if you're footballing loyalties prevent you from considering this colour scheme I fully understand, but if you are able to create this flag, I'd be very grateful.
Here it is.......
