setFlagTexture problem

[*-HWS-*SubZero 0]

Hi all, got a flag problem.

I whant to put a flag, my own flag into a pole, but doesn't seems to work.

Ive read and try what the wiki said but, It's not positive.

The wiki said to put that in the Init field:

Wiki url

I got a .paa named hws.paa located in:

C:\...\ArmA Other Profiles\-HWS-SubZero\missions\-HWS-DesertAmbush.Sara\img\

Ive tried to put this in the init field:

Quote[/b] ]this setFlagTexture "hws.paa"

this SetFlagTexture "\img\hws.paa"

This doesn't work either.

I got the 1.06 version U.S. release, and theres no flag international, or empty flag pole like there was in flashpoint

and It's all Flag(US), Flag(SLA), Flag(RACS)..

Anyone got the answer of how to fix that ?

Thx

I can't explain why it doesn't work for you. I can simply tell you what works for me. This works with a "FlagCarrierWest" object:

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

The flag I'm using is a jpg at 256x256x24 taken from Jerry Hopper's Flags.pbo v0.1. Note that it's square and it's size is a power of 2.

I dont think PAA works for a flag...

I dont think PAA works for a flag...

sure it does?

the ingame flags are in that format

Perhaps the image itself isn't in the right pixel format, I dunno.

Read up on the size and pixelformat/color-depth the picture should have.

Maybe its what troubles you.

Try it with this line:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this SetFlagTexture "img\hws.paa"

Using <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this SetFlagTexture "\img\hws.paa" tells ArmA that the texture is located at an addon called "img".

Using <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setFlagTexture "hws.paa" is used if the texture is located in the mission folder.

Of course it does, supported filetypes are .paa, .pac and .jpg

File paths for mission sub folders do not include a \ like W0lle showed you, otherwise the game expects it to be an addon.

Well thx for the reply, problem fix,

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

I just re-name my img folder to images and create a Flags folder inside the images folder and it worked...

Dunno If that was the problem ?!

Thx anyway, I appreciate

The problem was like said above that you had a leading \ in the pathname which shouldn't be there.
