To do that you have to add in Paint.NET the right plug in.

I searched for the plugin and found it.
Attached in this post.
Enclosed: Plugin + Readme.

Also, what is the function of flag_132?

It is the 132 X 64 tga, the one you see in cities that have not an army in it.

Gd everyone

if I insert an "oval" flag :

what settings should be? that the alpha channel would be transparent in game

1 bit alpha works for me to get irregularly shaped flags. I use interpolated for the normal maps.

Thank but No, incorrectly - must be "interpolated"

I forgot to edit the alpha channel

Did someone find any way to use transparancy on Naval Flags? In advance thank you as we are trying to make more realistic naval flags. Sadly it appears we can't do like for the state flags.

Hello gentlemen,

First off excellent tutorial husserlTW, it's been immeasurably helpful.

However i'm having some trouble in the final steps of this process. I've followed this tutorial on how to make flags and add them to the game, and i'm fairly certain I've done the making of the flags and .tai scripts properly, however i can't seem to get them in game correctly. I've tried putting them in the models.pack, and that failed because i couldn't figure out how to make a new directory. Then i tried making them their own mod, which seemed to work fairly well. All the flags showed up in game then, except the ones on the campaign map (over cities and armies and such), and that really defeats the purpose. I honestly don't know what else to try. And i'm also kinda a noob at this such anyhow

.

If someone with more skillage in this area than i would be willing to put the files together in a .pack file that i could stick in my data folder i'd be forever grateful. Or be willing to try and figure our what i'm doing wrong in making my own .pack file.

I've included all the pertinent files in a 7zip folder, including my non-working .pack file.

Try the attached pack. Just place it in data and do not edit your user script.

You've done a good job there. Only the naval flag is not correct since you cover the whole space with the main flag. It should be like this:

The empty grey space in the left must be filled with 3 vertical flags which are the long triangle flags used by the ships (on their masts). Check an existing one.

Thank you so so very much!

It works beautifully.

Ah, that was confusing me a little bit. I shall have to rectify that. Thanks for the heads up.

Great tutorial

I was working on some flags for the Greek mod, but I am having trouble getting the flag to display properly
