Default Flags

Quick question on creating the flags...how are you able to maintain the image quality once you convert the edited ___tower_O1 file to .dds? Mine looks fine in photoshop until I save/compress it, then it loses quality and looks badly washed out. Is there any way to avoid this? The regular merchant flag looks fine, but the rising sun flag just bleeds together...

Thanks!

What is the file type before you convert it to a dds? I change the _tower_01 file from a .dds to a .bmp then do my work. Also I remade the rising sun flag. The first time you add flags save that image as you master to use in the future.

Thanks, but I've just given up.

In any format, once saved to .dds even on highest compression the flags just look terrible...

2. Class of boat (balao, ect...)
3. Number of warships sunk
4. Number of warships damaged
5. Number of maru sunk
6. Number of maru damaged
7. Number of junks/samipans sunk
8. Number of junks/samipans damaged
9. Number of aircraft destroyed
10. Number of aircraft damaged
11. Number of raiding parties
12. Number of pilots rescued

13. Number of total tons sunk
14. Your player's rank (LCDR, CDR, CAPT, ect...)
15. Medals you earn in the game

I sent it PM. That's my second patrol. I do plan to keep the Gar throughout the war or until I die. Are you actually adding flags for each patrol....I wouldn't bother you again until about mid career, I just like the look of some flags with my emblems.

Default LCDR Armistead your boats ready.

Click on the following link to download your boat. Being you have already used a skin from battle flags site, I presume you know how to install it. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.

Thanks for the help! The battle flags were causing the bleed over/corruption so I searched around and found / edited a new one. I'm happy with 'em so I'm gonna stick with it.

Again, thanks for the help!
