custom flag (bear with me here)
« on: 24 Aug 2002, 16:49:51 »
basically - the official flag pack used jpgs that u accesed by typing in where they were and their name:

this setflagtexture "\flags\flagname.jpg"

so since it uses jpgs i was wondering if i could just make a red square (what are the dimentions for the flag ?) and put it in the mission folder and then place that on the flag pole?

reason being is that i want a red flag to mark out a firing range  ;)

cheers

You pretty much answered your own question.  create any jpg file where the dimensions are ^2 (i.e.1024,512,256, etc) and then place the jpg in the misssions folder.  You can then call it with setflagtexture "nameofpic.jpg"
