Flag problem on custom faction

**Irmo** · May 02, 2009, 02:42 AM

I have searched, and although I find people saying they have done this, can't actually find the answer to this anywhere.

I have added a faction, Icleand, to custom battles, and have created a new flag set for it (apart from the HUD and portrait flags, which I kept the same as Denmarks), but when I open up the custom battle screen, the 'Mini_Flag' doesn't appear next to the faction name.

I have attached the file if anyone could check it out.

Help anyone?

Thanks.

Do you mean when you are selecting the faction from the drop-down menu, or when you have already selected the faction? mini_flag.tga is the flag that shows up in the drop down menu. Looking at your mod, it should be working fine. The flag_132.tga file is the one that shows up once your faction has already been selected, and it is too large. Resize it to 100x50 and see if that helps.

If that doesn't work, but all of your other flags are working fine, I'm not sure what the problem is.

None of the flags are working, the dropdown menu shows nothing, and in a battle, there is a blank red flag.

The In battle flag is in the model pack.

Also factions afaik can not be added only replaced with a mod pack, you need to use patch pack to add new ones, which is unforutnate.

Untrue. I have a completely new faction working from a mod pack.

For the small flags not appearing, it may be a typo.

Didn't notice you're missing a table. You need to add db/rigidmodels/textures, with flags.tai and flags3.dds in it. Edit the .tai file with an entry for your faction, and you'll have to put your battle flag into the .dds file. It's a bit of a pain so it might take some trial and error.
