U.K FLAG

Don't worry Planck, this is *a-hem, invokes deep throaty voice*   the thread that just won't die.[/size]

Still, it's nice to see lots of people trying to be helpful.

Its quicker for me to type "UK flag" into google images, choose one, then to sort it into a usable flag, than to search for the syntax list for the ones already in the game.

Of course if I had the syntax list I'd be laughing, but I don't.

I have Flashpoint GOTY, patched to 1.96. Do I have the flag pack and if so does anyone have the syntax list?

How can I place customized flags on flagpoles in my missions?
As of OFP version 1.30, the previously available official Flag Pack is now contained in file FLAGS.PBO in OFP's ADDONS subdirectory.

So whether you want to use one of the country flag JPG files packed into the FLAGS.PBO file or whether you've got a customized version of the Jolly Roger you want to hoist (actually, there's one included in the FLAGS.PBO file, named PIRATES.JPG), here are the step-by-step instructions to implement displaying flags in your missions:

Flags must be non-progressive (zero progressive passes) 24-bit color 128x256 pixel flag JPG images, like this NATO flag, for example:


Customized flag's JPG files must be placed into the directory where your other mission files are located. If you're using a country flag from OFP's FLAGS.PBO file, OFP will automatically locate it in OFP's ADDONS directory.
In the mission, define the flag for a given flagpole with one of the following statement:
For flags from the FLAGS.PBO file, specify:

unit_name SetFlagTexture "\Flags\flag_name.jpg"
For flags from a customized flag image file, specify:

unit_name SetFlagTexture "\flag_name.jpg"
(NOTES: Change "unit_name" in the above examples to the name of the flag bearing object to be modified. Change "flag_name.jpg" in the above examples to the actual country or customized flag JPG image file name you want used for this flagpole).
