Some advice on that issue if I may. I use PSP9, and I too found out that "plain" flags look no good. So, I played around with PSP and found a pretty good texture: Grass! So I pick the image I want, then add this texture and it looks just fine! Check out the Greek Flag thread to see for yourself. It looks great in-game. So all aspiring artists out there:try things out, experiment a lot, no worries, if you don't like it just use "Undo"!

Looking at your flags, the grass texture does look pretty nice. I will have to try that.
Thanks for the tip.

Just as a general guideline. If the original file had an alpha, use one. Otherwise, no need to bother.
Some files use DXT1 with alpha.
Most use DXT3 if any. |

For flags, here is a good site with all the flags you could want. Just click and save into any folder. I use one called 'pirates'. Use tutorial, as described in this post. Sail under any flag you like. I use the Wales or Cornwall flag. Follow link to: http://www.theodora.com/flags/.

I'm pretty sure this one is a sticky! 
Also, you'll find this tutorial in the "Guide" section of the forum.

Well, I Am grateful for the guide you guys put up here!
I finally designed my own flag and sail amblem!
This really boosts my interest for the game, since I had abandoned it for a little while...Now I am ready to pick it up again, ready to roam the seas...
Thanx a lot for this clear guide for modding the game!

You un FPKPacker the PAK files in your assets folder.
Then you edit the graphic in question just like editing a sail.
Unfortunately they did not use a uniform model for all the characters in the game.
Therefore you need to start with a like graphic.
Governor's Daughters (in each of 3 beauty categories)
barmaids
player characters
Crew members
Barmaids
Governors (2 models, maybe 3)
and so on. |

In case all of you can't tell, I'm not the most computer literate person in the world. But, I've managed to mod one governer's daughter since I last posted. The thing is, that the one that I modded was a ddl. file, not a fpk.. If anyone can tell me how to find and convert these existing files, I would be very appreciative.
Thanks, B.K.
P.S. The file that I mooded was someone elses mod. All the other character mods that I downloaded from you guys are fpk. files as well, so I can't seem to open them either. |
