Painting problems

[RAUBKATER1]

I am new to the modders corner and need help.
I was trying to 'tweak' the SIDEICONS and FLAGS in BA( trying to create new countries, etc.)/Battlefield Academy/Data/UI/Textures/
using PAINT DOT NET and\or GIMP.

When I went into the program to play, I got these black boxes surrounding the flag icons!
There's probably a simple solution to this for some of you and would appreciate any advice I could get
Please Help?

Sincerely, RAUBKATER

I think some other people were using those tools, and I recall you needed to add a alpha channel to the images.

Ideally you would never add or alter any files in the main install - it can cause MP issues, or get overwritten by updates. If you create your own campaign, the game will find any textures you put in a DATA\UI\TEXTURES folder inside your campaign. Checking out some of the free downloadable user campaigns will give you a great idea of all the things you can do with the engine, and how .

Happy modding!

Cheers
