Custom Flags Request - Anyone looking for a commission?

[Schulmanator]

    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.

[Schulmanator]

Thanks! It's a simple tricolor. Here it is.

[geoffhaw]

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? 

[geoffhaw]

Ok, job done!  If you want to PM me your email address, I'll send it to you.

[M4346]

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. 

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...

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.

[M4346]

Thank you Geoffhaw, it is truly appreciated. 

I'm sorry if it's challenging, but thanks for taking the time to give it a try. 

[Colyn]

Hmmmm .... isn't it great to have a specialist onboard ... 

[Diggis]

Sure is.  Quick question, are these compatible with the OFMN mod?

[Colyn]

I dont think so ... but Geoff is the guy to respond to that.

[geoffhaw]

Any flag can be converted to be compatible with PEG's OFMN mod, by changing the IID of the Flag prop to 073d4582.

[Diggis]

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.

[geoffhaw]

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.



There is a tutorial on ST, but it needs updating with details on how to change the AVP and ATC files.

You are a ledgend, 

Thanks.

I take it this is one I have to change the IID of?

[geoffhaw]

@ 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.

[Diggis]

Got it thats Geoff.  You are a champion.

[M4346]

That looks great! I would appreciate it if you'd continue... 

I'll make my own lots for the flag, I really don't mind. So you don't have to worry about that too.

Thanks!

Geoffhaw: Thank you so much! That is wonderful! I will PM you shortly. I am very pleased with this! 

[Diggis]

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?
