Making a flag
The requirements for a flag:
20 pixels by 12 pixels PNG file format The flag should be named using the country abbreviation found in nations.txt. The flag should be stored in the flags folder. |

In OOTP2007, they are 18x12. Does this matter?

I think they were always 18x12. At least, all the ones I made were 18x12, and that was for OOTP2006.

V.10 they are all 18x12 too.
I hope I don't have to edit my 13 custom flags. Wouldn't be a huge problem but...why??

They (the defaults) are still 18x12 in version 11. And I plugged in my 18x12 custom flags and they look great.
Raider you might want to edit the OP. |

What are you having trouble with? I have used photoshop but when the flags get that small nothing will make them look perfect. Are you trying to create OOTP flags from current flags or fictional flags?
I created a little photoshop file for creating fictional flags, too. Again, that small they don't look perfect, but they work and look about the same as the ones that come with the game.

I was able to shrink 1 flag and it come out perfect I downloaded that 1 off the net. I downloaded 56 others but none of them r coming out any good at all. I use GIMP and windows Paint paint worked the best on the 1st 1.

Having trouble with flags showing up properly that I downloaded for a fictional country. I added the country within a game save because I don't want to touch the default file if possible. Could that be my problem? Maybe I can't change flags without changing the default file? I used paint to resize the flags to OOTP requirements. Abbreviation URA. Saved the files as ura.png

This is an incredibly old sticky post. Could one of the regulars please confirm what is the status of doing flags?
The small flags from the OOTP 14 nation_flags folder for example are 16 x 16 pixels in PNG format, with a transparent 1 or 2 pixels (already included in the measurements above) on top and below. Where are the large flags in nation_flags_large used? |

Also, if you create a new country, note that you'll have to save and exit out for the game to load up the flag next time you restart. |

I just copied one of the flag .pngs; I was making a Hawai'i flag so I just used one of the commonwealth country flags and put stripes on the field (of the flag) to match the colors in the jack. It took about one minute.

Hi guys, I have recently found a pretty easy way for anyone to create and render a flag with the correct dimensions for a OOTP save. It seems like I can knock the steps down to 5, here we go.
1. Go to https://flag-designer.appspot.com or search simply for "flag generator" on a search engine and find it that way. 2. Create your flag by either customizing it yourself or randomly generating the flag with the button. 3. Click "Open as standalone (.svg)" this will create the flag into a Scalable Vector Graphic or basically a vector. Right click and save that to your computer for the next step. 4. Go back to the flag website, find the tiny letters in blue at the bottom of the website, click "[SVG to raster image (JPG/PNG/TIFF) conversion]" click the select image button, find the first flag image you created as a .svg image, create the dimensions (70x47) and save as either over your old flag or a new file on the computer. 5. Add the flag to your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Out of the Park Baseball 23\data\database\nation_flags folder, rename the file as the first three letters of the country you are working with and BOOM! I think that covers it. I just wrote this down as I re processed the directions from my adhd brain. Hope this helps yall!
