B Tutorial 2D Banner Making Tutorial

[Somebody]

Use paint or any color manipulation tool. It's just 0xAlpha+RGB.

Cool... thanks pal!

I am now addicted to making new banners.

Where is that file located?

WHEN one changes the banner color, the game still "remembers" the original color of the banner which was "under" it. Therefore, your units and yourself in game will sport the original color as background for tunics and such.

Could you please help me remember how to change the color of the banner to be applicable to all background color associated with the "old color" of the banner replaced?

I remember doing it, but can't find the thread dealing with that.

Thanks!

Slot values are persistent in savegames. Therefore, you should either start a new game or modify a simple trigger to reset the color in your savegame.

...
  (24,
   [
    (troop_slot_eq, "trp_banner_background_color_array", 0, 0xFF8f4531), #old slot value and color
    (troop_set_slot, "trp_banner_background_color_array", 0, 0xFFd9d7d1), #new color
   ]),
]

Since the slot value is now changed, the trigger won't run again. You can implement any other changes you want in the same trigger.

[Somebody]

Which file were you trying to preview?

How to open SAV files? How did u get to this file you're discussing. I feel like the technique is coming back to me, but I'm afraid I'm looking in the wrong files.

Download the Module System and follow the tutorials to set it up.

 

[TuranianGhazi]

Thanks!

I do remember doing it easier somehow, with just altering the save file only. Oh well, figuring out a more thorough method never hurts.

DDS Converter isn't working for me..

It isn't selecting the DDS file? I click and click and I've tried different ways to select the DDS file and it just doesn't do anything.

I simply typed "banner template" in the search box and hit "Search". It's magic, I tell you!

Same problem here. I open DDS Converter, search the banner DDS file and select it, but the program doesn't allow me to convert it. It's like if the DDS files wasn't a compatible format with the program. Here a screenshot:
