Flying the flag?

[map1976 0]

For what is a very basic question... is causing me some grief.

I am sticking this in the Flag International "init" field (I have the flag pack)

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setFlagTexture "\Flags\Australia.jpg"

<span id='postcolor'>

But no flag appears on the flag pole? (in a single player cut scene) How do you make a flag fly on a flag pole? Im sure this this an easy one bu it's a bit tough right now.

Thanks.

hi map1976;

never used the flag pack. but u might search the internet for an australian flag, save it with a size of 256 X 128 as australia.jpg into your mission folder (where the mission.sqs is located). then u take an empty flag and put into the init field

this setflagtexture "australia.jpg";

then it appears on the pole.

are you trying this in OFP:Resistance or Original OFP?(ColdWar Crisis?)

I'm using the original OFP (Cold War)

I'll settle for any flag on the flag pole at this stage... US... it doesn't matter...

Are you typing the string in an "empty" flag object? That might help.

If you patched up to version 1.46 of the Cold War Crisis you should be able to get into your "Addons" folder and open the map "Flags.pbo" with notepad. In there you will find the following (among many others): Australia.jpg. So in the editor you select under the "empty" tab: Flag. In its init line you put:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setflagtexture "australia_vlajka.pac";<span id='postcolor'>

It's as easy as that! And it works for almost any country you can think of. I'll quote the countries available for putting on your flag posts:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Afghanistan.jpg             …%Å‚;Ã=  Albania.jpg             x%Å‚;&2  Algeria.jpg             p%Å‚;5$  Andorra.jpg             ä%Å‚;

Thanks, I found the problem. I added

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">this setFlagOwner objNull

<span id='postcolor'>

before adding the setflagtexture line... and it works fine.

For the flag pack, don't use _vlajka... it is actually just the name of the country.jpg

All my missions have Australian and US and Russian flags using this format, and I have the standard BIS flag pack addon.
