Custom Flags Request - Anyone looking for a commission?

Diggis · February 12, 2007, 10:49:27 PM

Ummm, I have just played around and think I have it.... Never found a tutorial.

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.

Thanks Geoff.

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

It's only on the closest zoom level though, so I would really like it if you'd continue with it.

Thank you very much!

Here is the finished Schulmanator flag set.

M4346 · February 14, 2007, 02:03:04 PM

Wow! Those lots look great!

I particularly like the lot in the lower right corner!

Schulmanator · February 14, 2007, 02:53:22 PM

Those are wonderful! I am very excited! I need to start bulldozing and plopping a bunch of those in Schulmania.

Thanks again!

@ 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.

Wow - that's pretty damned good!

Great service you provide to the community, Geoff. Keep up the good work..

I am not on to be on the good topic but I need help. I explain, I made a flag animated for my city, but I cannot see it in the Lot Editor well that we can see it in the Prop menu . Somebody can it say to me what I would have to do Please ?

geoffhaw · February 20, 2007, 11:12:31 AM

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.

Adriano57 · February 20, 2007, 01:55:23 PM

I sent you the .FSH file. Thank you very much for your help

geoffhaw · February 22, 2007, 10:40:40 AM

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.

geoffhaw · February 22, 2007, 11:32:13 AM

To prove they work, here are the flags on the standard BSC Lots.

Fledder200 · February 22, 2007, 01:16:17 PM

wow.....can i ask if someone can do my flag aswel?
or do i have to pm one of you guys??

Adriano57 · February 22, 2007, 05:38:03 PM

I love you geoffhaw !!! I do not know how to thank you then accept my humble thanks. I also greet the effort for French ! Furthermore they are very beautiful ! I am happy. Thank you very much.

+ 15 for your karma !

bat · February 25, 2007, 05:15:35 AM

That are wonderful flags, geoffhaw!

Great work!

I have also a flag and it would be nice if you could make the LOT and the prop for this...

...here's the official flag of Capporth City:

It would be great if you could make this!!

geoffhaw · February 26, 2007, 01:56:01 PM

Mmmm, that's a bit dramatic. I'll knock up a test screenshot to see how it looks. If I go ahead with it, it will take a couple of weeks given what else I've got in the queue.

geoffhaw · March 04, 2007, 03:20:32 PM

Here's the test screenshot for bat.

bat · March 09, 2007, 08:22:56 AM

Looking nice, but is there a way to make the quality of the picture higher?

geoffhaw · March 09, 2007, 09:43:00 AM

In a word, no. The pixel size of the FSH file is only 35x19, so that's the best it's going to be.
