its been a while since ive done any ra2 editing so im a little rusty on how things work... anyways here the problem,
I made a new flag (an Australian Flag to be exact) but it shows up in game skewed.

here is the flag itself if you think its my image...

and yes it is in a pcx format, its just in a jpeg for imageshack liking
MAKE SURE U CLICK ON IT!!!! otherwise i looks like oversized turds

[groovyg]

hang on , i got an ingame as well if u wanna see whjat i mean by skewed

Check the shp in XCC, how many frames does it have?

[groovyg]

i left it as a .pcx file not a shp

ill try a shp conversion

[groovyg]

ok it comes out as a black picture

[CannisRabidus]

oh right, those things use pcx format, never mind

[pd]

You have to convert it using XCC mixer.
Yes, sometimes it seems that a black picture comes out, but it works in the game!

palette must be 256 colours, colour 0 is transparent

flag size must be correct.
various sizes are acceptable, but I'm not sure which sizes cause the screw up effect.

base the size on an existing flag or experiment pixel by pixel

ok i still cant get it right.... dang nabbit i think i really lost my l337 skillz :lol: :lol:

ok here what i did:
Download the Italy Country Pack from http://rtb.strategy-x.com/dl/res_italy.rar
it contained a flag, a mp loadscreen and a mp pallete.

I then just blued out the italy flag but left the allied symbol (the AUS flag colour blue BTW) then i put all the stars and shit..
named it c10_flag.pcx (the file was .pcx to begin with anyways)
Coded my country (the code is fine)
in-game its skewed

EDIT: i did try what P(a)D said, and to no avail, it was as black as my ass in game still

is the file in the right place? should be just loose in RA2 folder IIRC
