regarding the flag image:
the file flag must have 10 columns and 2 rows, otherwise it may appear strangely in-game

here you can clearly see the rows and columns



for this image, each column represents a frame of the animation - the rows, of course, are for unowned flag and owned flag

the reason the image must have 10 columns and 2 rows is because the game is hard-coded to divide it into just that (for animation and to distinguish unowned/owned flags)

keeping that in mind, when making a new flag image you can have it virtually any size with any colors you want (though Continuum will convert it to 8-bit for most people, so you may as well save it with indexed colors)

Now, to actually get a custom flag image into your zone:

download lvztoolkit.zip

extract contents

create new text file (use notepad or textpad or something)

type in the following:
Quote:
outfile=nameOfYourChoice.lvz

file=flag.bmp

save this as nameOfYourChoice.ini

make sure nameOfYourChoice.ini and flag.bmp are in the same directory

run BuildLevel.exe (from lvztoolkit.zip)
when the browse-for-file box comes up, find and select nameOfYourChoice.ini

a .lvz named what you specified at outfile= should be created in the same directory as the .ini and .bmp

move this .lvz file into your server directory
(or place it in your main Continuum directory [eg. C:\Program Files\Continuum], then go in-game and type *putfile nameOfYourChoice.lvz [you must have sysop access])

now go in-game and go to the arena you wish the new flag image to be used in

type ?set misc:levelfiles=nameOfYourChoice.lvz (this also requires sysop or 'ownership' of arena)

then re-enter the arena (?go) to download and see your new image being used
