custom flag question

i downloaded some custom flags, edited them in photshop to include a server name, imported into HLMV, and saved. it is all well and good except for the fact that in game, the flags show up unedited...that is, without the text i added. on a hunch, i opened up the flags.mdl file (which was a nazi flag) and added the same text. this time the text showed up, but every flag (capped or not, allied or axis) came up as the axis flag.

im a little confused as to why:
a) if i saved the edited version right over the working custom file, why wont the text show?

and

b) after i edited it, why did the flags.mdl file replace every flag in-game?

any help would be appreciated. thanks a lot.

There are seperate flags for each country in your dod/models/mapmodels folder:

a_flag=American Flag
b_flag=British Flag
g_flag=German Flag

well, something like those at least, i'm not 100% positive.

Try editing one of those individually and see if it helps :).



Sincerely,

no, that's for beta when they didn't have submodels >_<






when you opened the flag.mdl did you import your flag on all 3 flags or just 1 like you were supposed to >_<
