Making a flag

Raidergoo · 06-02-2006, 09:27 AM

The requirements for a flag:

20 pixels by 12 pixels

PNG file format

The flag should be named using the country abbreviation found in nations.txt.

The flag should be stored in the flags folder.

In OOTP2007, they are 18x12. Does this matter?

I don't know. I'd have to ask, and the answer would take a long time to get.

I think they were always 18x12. At least, all the ones I made were 18x12, and that was for OOTP2006.

V.10 they are all 18x12 too.

I hope I don't have to edit my 13 custom flags. Wouldn't be a huge problem but...why??

They (the defaults) are still 18x12 in version 11. And I plugged in my 18x12 custom flags and they look great.

Raider you might want to edit the OP.

whats a good program to use to edit flags down to size i am having difficulty

What are you having trouble with? I have used photoshop but when the flags get that small nothing will make them look perfect. Are you trying to create OOTP flags from current flags or fictional flags?

I created a little photoshop file for creating fictional flags, too. Again, that small they don't look perfect, but they work and look about the same as the ones that come with the game.

I was able to shrink 1 flag and it come out perfect I downloaded that 1 off the net. I downloaded 56 others but none of them r coming out any good at all. I use GIMP and windows Paint paint worked the best on the 1st 1.
