The_Silent: Same as your other flag. Looks great.
If you want suggestions for improvements, look at the other moderation. Great job.

Additional examples using only existing MPQ textures.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks once again.

This is very cool indeed, but isn't it just alittle bit too heavy? 143kbs for a banner, that's a lot.

Not really. 140 kilobytes for all the cinematic quality banners you'll ever need doesn't seem like a bad deal, especially considering it was closer to 350KB before keyframe optimizations.

Another very simple, but very multipurpose model. Noice!

 

[neo_sluf]

Awesome!

10 awesomes dude

 

[Warseeker]

Interesting!

 

[Eagle XI]

thanks for doing this, i could make better use of it if had an unit attachment variant. maybe you would be interested in creating that too ? that one would be a little bit shorter and flag somewhat narrower, and have no thickness at low end of the flagpole.

Make sure the banner has been correctly configured in the Object Editor. Read through the How to use instructions again.
Is the texture you're using in the correct format? It should be in either TGA or BLP and both dimensions must be a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512).

nvm worked now

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Okay. Do you mind attaching the map and texture so I can take a closer look?

Edit: Problem solved then, I guess...

 

[Shyster]

I have to say this is one of the most useful things on the Hive now. I found a great use for this and what an awesome idea. I can't believe you're still making stuff after all these years keep it up!

 

[Wayshan]

Thank you so much!

the textures for me seem super dark, how to fix this

Which textures are you using?

 

[Arathorn]

Hum, the banner works only as a building. And the problem is that you can't add your own image with a building. When it's a destructible the model appear like a green and black box...like if it's doesn't work because I didn't import it. Well ! Help ! ^^

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I can think of only one reason for that behavior. Make sure the Art - Model File - Variations is set to 1.
If that doesn't fix it, I would need to take a look at your implementation.

 

[Arathorn]

Okay thanks everything works, I was just a little "stunned" ^^

 

[XEdmondX]

Now that! Is... Awesome! Very usefull, great work!

 

[Barade]

Really useful but I would prefer another stand animation where the banner doesn't move. It is harder to read texts when it is moving. Other than that it is really great.

 

[AMarkov]

Can I ask you to make a version of this flag without the jagged edges at the bottom and without being torn?

 

[SenPie69]

looks cool but my brain is not braining, but step 3 & 4?
EDIT: Okay never mind i was drowsy when i browse for flag, imma test it now

EDIT1: Tested it and it looks glorious but for some reason they don't appear in-game, only on editor (i used the tree as the base and changed the variant to 1 and also pathing, it shows on editor just fine)

i tried using the doodads but no option for texture but it does show in-game...any problem to this?
