How to mod national flags?

[venetianllama]

Every time I try to do this it fails completely and the flags simply become black backgrounds. How can I fi this?

Saved in wrong format? I have an example mod if you want.

while i would like to see your mod i dont exactly see how it would help me with my flags any more than the actual game would

Check the fascist Canadian flag, confirmed working. Just reverse engineering it. That is how I learned modding anyway. It has exactly 1 file, you can't go wrong.

for one, this links to a call of duty screen shot, and two, i saved the flags as a tga file and i used GIMP to copy paste the flags i wanted as ive heard paint.net doesnt work

I have no idea why it did that, I was never even on that page. I used paint.net though.

I used paint.net when I made a mod and it didn't cause problems. It wasn't flags though, it was pictures for events. I tested, and saving the pictures as either DDS A8R8G8B8 or A8B8G8R8 worked fine.

Sorry. Just checked the gfx/flags folder and the flags are all TGAs. Since the ones that come with HoI4 are all 17KB, I think the settings you should use when saving them in paint.net is 32-bit, no compression, because that'll get you the same file size.

 

[venetianllama]

yeah that worked thx

I just HATE the fact I can't use paint.net with HOI4 for flags
