Problem with flag

[Rudger123 0]

Hi guys,

 

 

I'm trying to make a new flag by copying another flag (CALUNR02) (the small US flag you can see at Final Alert 2) but I can't get it to work.

The problem is the color (that I edited) doesn't appear on Final Alert 2 or in-game.

 

 

What I've done in rulesmd.ini:

 

 

;Lunar Flag

[CALUNR02]

UIName=Name:CALUNR02

Name=Lunar Flag

Image=CALUNR02

TechLevel=-1

Strength=1

Insignificant=yes

Nominal=yes

;RadarInvisible=yes

Points=5

Armor=wood

Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60

MaxDebris=0

BaseNormal=no

Sight=6 ; UC base values

ClickRepairable=no

;CanBeOccupied=yes

;MaxNumberOccupants=6

;DistributedFire=yes

;CanOccupyFire=yes

; ;US Flag Left

 

 

[NLFLGC]

UIName=Name:NLFLGC

Name=NL Flag

Image=NLFLGC

TechLevel=-1

Strength=1

Insignificant=yes

Nominal=yes

;RadarInvisible=yes

Points=5

Armor=wood

Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60

MaxDebris=0

BaseNormal=no

Sight=6 ; UC base values

ClickRepairable=no

;CanBeOccupied=yes

;MaxNumberOccupants=6

;DistributedFire=yes

;CanOccupyFire=yes

 

;what I've done in artmd.ini:

 

[CALUNR02]

Image=CALUNR02

Foundation=1x1

Height=2

NewTheater=yes

DemandLoad=true

;Palette=City

CanHideThings=False

CanBeHidden=False

 

[NLFLGC]

Image=NLFLGC

Foundation=1x1

Height=2

NewTheater=yes

DemandLoad=true

;Palette=City

CanHideThings=False

CanBeHidden=False

 

Finally I've put NLFLGC.shp into ecache99.mix and in ecachemd07.mix.

 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Oh yeah, I've done that too.

 

But under "NEW RA2 BUILDINGS" where the "building" I want to copy is too.

 

406=CALUNR02

<last line>

2303=NLFLGC

 

I have the idea that it can't read my .shp image or something cause when I replace the image with CALUNR02 the image does display.

Screenshot of what it looks like in-game? FA2 does not display new structures, but the game will do so just fine.

As you can see the I've also edited the Soviet Guard Shack's flag, which doesn't display at all.

 

The small flags are the flags where I was talking about when I opened the thread.

The flag looks like all remap, and if it is, that explains the gray.

That little flag isnt the "moon" USA flag is it? Have you got graphics for it in the other thearters

@ Doctor Destiny

 

What do you mean by that?

 

I've edited another kind of flag which did display the way I wanted it too be.

(with the steps above)

 

 

@ Revolutionary

 

I have no idea what kind of flag it is. I only know it's called US Flag in FA2.

 

And all I did was doing the steps above.

Nothing else.

@ Doctor Destiny

 

What do you mean by that?

Remap is the column of red on the lower left of the palette, all the other reds are not. Remap determines ownership, if you made the flag all red, you probably used the remap, which means the flag will only be red if the owning faction is red (which civilians are not). If you want an always-red flag, you must use the other reds.

Thanks a lot.

 

This did the trick.
