+1 request from me.

Gumpy gave me USN and IJN animation flags data.
I can use them in my MODs.

And RN, KM, RM flags are drawn by gio, we will release thier ships MOD in some months, and I will replace some existent MODs' flags.


But these Navy flags are not animated now.
Can anyone (skinner) draw these flags animated like USN/IJN size and format?

Argentin


Australia


Brazil


Canada


India


Netherland

No, they need to be a series of textures named with index numbers.

FlagCountry_00.tga
FlagCountry_01.tga
...
FlagCountry_NN.tga

or something like that.

I don't expect it's quite as simple as that though...

But then all that is needed is a GIF animated picture disassembled and the different textures saved as 01/02/03...? that should be doable, even for me.

Remember, that it takes considerably longer to create a mod than a pretty screen shot

The Canadian flag in WW2 was different... the one today with the maple leaf came much later

I want to Canadian Navy flag on HMCS Bonaventure (Colossus class aircraft carrier) from 1957 to 1970.
I think this time flag is maple leaf one, isn't it?

Other flags also will be with Colossus class jets carrier or Clemenceau class aircraft carrier MODs.

Oh...
I forgot +1 Navy.

French Navy!!

Maple leaf come into effect for a Flag in Canada in 1965
First time Canada actually adopted there own Flag ,leaving behind the Union Jack Flag

I remember it well as I was just a kid in school in 1965
We started the day singing O Canada, the new national anthem
and ended the day with singing the old national anthem, God Save the Queen

Great Idea BTW    :)

Cheers

All right.
I ask wikipedia about Canadian Navy.

From 1921 to 1957, Canadian Navy used old style Blue Ensign like here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Canadian_Blue_Ensign_1921.svg

From 1957 to 1965, Canadian Navy used new style Blue Ensign like here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Canadian_Blue_Ensign.svg

Umm... I feel Canadian_Blue_Ensign is better fit to HMCS Bonaventure.
