Hey, I was just wondering how you edit UI flags correctly. I know how to edit building flags and I already extracted the flag_german_normal.ddt and the like. But, whenever I change it, all it shows in AOEIII is an ugly black line for half the flag and the top half of my flag on the bottom. I put my new flag over the EXACT location where the old flag was. Please help, thanks.
Ya, I'm making a campaign. But, it's not even close to being finished

did you look to see if there was anything different with the alpha channel?

depends on your picture program I use adobe photo shop
there is a red green blue channel and an alpha channel
the later seems to have different uses, Ive seen it used for tranparency when Granny calls on it. It is sometimes used for edges of decal and negitive (black) space on the model texture.
To me it seems like you must have changed the size of the pict or something. Something must have changed besides the texture itself. Process of ilimination. good luck
