The fsize of the flag can be any size of multiples of 2 , u need to experiment ot get the correct proportion for when the flag is ingame.. (from experience)

If you are oging to use them universally for other missions, create a folder named "Flags" in ur OFP directory,,,

To get the flag textures ingame, use this setFlagTexture "..Flags\nameofflagpic.extensions"

its either ...Flags, ..Flags or just Flags :) not sure which one sorry.

extensions is the extensiont hat the flag picture is saved as. (JPEG, PAA etc)

nameofflagpic is the name of the flag in the flag folder.

Hope this helps

Rhys

EDIT: - No problem mate ;)

It's powers of 2, not multiples of 2.    So, 2,4,8,16,32 ....

If you have a custom flag it can just go in the mission folder.  I think the syntax is

this setFlagTexture "flagname.jpg"

but not guaranteed.   There is an official flag pack which is excellent.    Hunt around the forums for the correct syntax, somebody posted it the other day.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play
