Flags are pretty easy.

what part are you having trouble with?

Do you have a design picked out? A logo?

Hey whats up K yeah well i make Vp's but this is lil more difficult for me...lol this is the tutorial i used: http://weaponsfactory.planetunreal.game ... flags.html
It says something about when you save as it says to save as a .pcx file but when i get in unreal ed to import the file it looks weird on the texture browser and on the tutorial the creater says when it looks weird when you import it you've most of saved it wrong so thats were i stand on making flags its my first time making some so im having some trouble with it, I was just messing around with some designs on the flag and the clan name that im in is Stoned Assasins so anything that is close to that i can use thanks K...

One thing you have to do is remember the rules of importing textures.

I just refreshed my memory with your avatar "bomberstyle"
I imported it just fine and it looked perfect.

Here are the rules of importing textures.
If you don't follow them the texture will look wrong.

When you create the image you must save it in this format:
1.resize image to "256X256 or 128X128" so it can be manipulated easy in ED

2.Reduce color depth to 8bit 256 colors.

3.Save file as .pcx

You can even export an existing UT flag and ad your insignia to it then import it again.
Just remember to name it something different from the original

There are a few other types that are importable. But PCX is the most commonly used.

Yeah, PCX seems to be a bit smaller files also.
AND good quality - yes.
