Flags on ships in B14A9.5 Development Resources

!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
I could open Dutchlineship1 files, otherwise I couldn't do anything with it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
I tried barqem1_mast2.gm myself and couldn't open it either. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
I just remembered... we need fully filled up pirate and personal flag files too! Preferrably period-correct, of course. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Is there any chance you could upload the ships you fixed the pennant locators for, novotny999?
Now that Screwface made the Different Flags mod compatible with Build 14 Alpha 9.5 Patch 1,
I'll probably be wanting to include it in the next update. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
No hurry though... I won't make the update for at least another week, maybe more.
 
Couple of flag-requests:
- Replace US "Don't tread on me" flag with the <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f9/Serapis_Flag.svg/800px-Serapis_Flag.svg.png" target="_blank">Serapis Flag</a>? You just can't see the snake and text very well at a distance at all.
- Fill up the various personal flag files.
- Fill up the various pirate flag files.
 
Can everyone who did some work on pennants for ships please upload their modified files?
Also it would be nice to have the pirate and personal flags and pennants sorted out soon as well.

I'm intending to release another modpack update in about one or two weeks and would like to be able to
include the Different Flags mod in (almost) finished and working form. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Can somebody redo the flags on the Black Pearl? Right now she's just got one flag and that one isn't even attached to the mast.
Would be nice to have flags in all masts and one big stern flag too, as seen during CotBP.
 
I'm trying to put flags on the "important" ships in the game and now I got to the Fast Caravel, eg. Bartolomeu's Santiago
I enlarged the ensign on mast3 since I thought that'd look better. Note, however, the ensign on mast5 too:
<img src="http://piratesahoy.net/build/temp/Santiago.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

I'd much rather have a pennant there, but if I use the following code, mast5 will simply have no flag at all:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    refShip.Flags.Mast2.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast3.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast5.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
The following does work fine:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    refShip.Flags.Mast2.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast3.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast5.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
I have attached my model files; hopefully somebody will be able to tell me what's wrong here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

BTW: Please let me know if you think the ensign on mast3 should be larger still. I'm not quite sure... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
I made some further modifications to the Schooner Xebec.
Original:

First modification:

Second modification:

Do you people agree the last version is indeed the best of the bunch, flag-wise?
 
That is indeed the best of the bunch <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Yep, no big flags on those masts except the last one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

I'm just asking people to try to open a file. It'll cost you 30 seconds and it won't blow up your computer.
Please try it and post here; I just want to know if somebody CAN open it.
 
Open with success <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Nice! So that means that you at least can open some files that I can't, which will be good once we get to adding pennants to all ships.

Seems really weird to me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
Why do you think it's weird ? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />
Is it the portuguese flag, right ?
I have a doubt about its historical accuracy but it looks beautiful.
 
I'm not going on about the actual flag; that's a Portuguese flag and pennants that Thomas the Terror added and I think he tried to make them historically accurate.
The issue I'm having is with the ensign in pennant-shape at the last mast. It seems to me that a pennant would be much better there.
However, if I try to set a pennant there, there is no flag at all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
