Thanks for the tutorial, Wolf.
I'd like to add that Microsoft Paint and IrfanView work very well and are absolutely free and extremely easy to use.

It's entirely possible to do, but it probably won't look all that great unless you isolate the dragon. From a distance it will just look like a blue and black mess. Just my two cents.

- May sound a bit stupid...
- Be it possible to make all the sails black? Or no...Be it possible to make emblem for all the sails?

There is a mod that will make your sails black. Along with everyone else's, which is why I got rid of it. It kind of took the novelty and coolness out of having black sails.

I don't think anyone has figured out a mod for all the sails. I don't think it's really necessary. An emblem for every sail sounds to me like overkill.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had been making emblems before, but the surround sail texture was always affected. Thanks to this tutorial I finally have my assorted emblems(among them some very nice swedish royal coats of arms). So thank you once again and good luck with your continued pirating. Smile

Happy to hear that the tutorial is still useful! Smile

And happy to hear that there are some neighbours on the forums! (I take it that you are from Sweden?)

Hi
The flags and sails tutorial is great!
I thought flag and emblems creation were difficult but now I've made some and it's very easy! Smile

Good to hear! Smile

Yup, I thought it might be difficult as well, before I tried it for the first time. I read some tutorials to learn in, but all of them seemed to gloss over this area or that, so I decided to make one that would make each step clear.

The issue with Sails and Flags being completely black is due to not saving the image with mip-maps enabled... many don't use them as they image get seriously blurred unless the right filters are being used.. my preference is to use the "sinc" filter in DXTBmp.... I accidentally did this and saw them as black, and went back and looked, and fixed it, and now all is fine....

If anyone happens to have a copy of the final version of the tutorial mentioned in the first message in this thread, I'd appreciate to have a copy of it... It appears that I lost my only local copy at some point and then the one online when my university account closed some years ago.

So, if anyone actually still possesses it, send me a copy!

@hookedgamers.com is the ending of the address, of course.
