not the folders but the files inside

Ok parbolize, that did it. Once I put the AyresRock flag bitmaps in the root pictures/flags folder it started working. This isn't where you are supposed to put the custom flags, is this where you have it located Grazic?

The flag folder is for allience flags only.
epire flags should be placed in the empire folder, in there own empire folders.

That makes sense. But if you do it incorrectly and put the flag bitmaps in the root pictures/flags folder the game will let you select them for your empire. The problem being if they aren't also there on the host machine you get errors processing the turns. Aaron patched it to solve the problem with the host machine not having the custom empire in the empire folder. Apparently he didn't forsee someone placing the images directly in the pictures/flags folder and so didn't account for it.

send him an email if you havn't allready geo, with the empire files. also note that if you have flags in an mod folder as well as in the defult empires folder it will show both flags, it should probibly not show the defult flags if it finds them in the mod empires folder...
(at least this is what I assume is causing the double ups of flags)

how does the RTC get the game files geo? I want to try get my PBFTP client to grab files from PBW...

Yes sorry guys. I didn't see the readme file, and yes I copied the AyresRock flags into the pictures/flags folder.
It made sense in my warped mind, to put flag pictures in the flags folder. Sorry I didn't notice that it was alliance flags.

We can start again if you want, and I'll recreate my empire.
However the turn processed fine 2 minutes ago.

I think it's going to be ok, for now though install the other flags properly and when we've finished this game remember to del those flags from the flag dir.

Baron Grazic · #39 December 26th, 2006, 09:01 PM

Yes, other flags are now installed, and I've updated my Empire file with the flag from the correct directory.
Sorry about that guys...

and it failed again for some reason.
