How to add new custom flag

[Zahav]

In old SRU edditing the png files was easy. Here I want to add new custom in FLAGBITS4.dds but it does not show up after saving. Is there an incorrect DDS format, and if so what is the correct one game uses.

You need to use DXT5 or BC3. Photopea is a an online tool that works well for edit DDS files.

Well I did that with DXT5 but in flag change selection nothing shows up. Other orginal files have bit depth 0, but edited one has bit depth 1. But, what where can I change it?

What I've done is edit the flagbits file and save it as .png as the file I work with (and use as backup).
Then load the flagbits file I want to update in gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program), drop the .png on top and export it back to .dds.

Not intending to necro this thread. The reason why could not get my flags to work was because of workshop scenario. After I had it removed the flags appeared. The scenario flag file was apperently made priority over mine own. Just if someone else encouters such issue.

To expand a little more on that. Any modded file will replace the content of the original file of the same name. It is not limited to the flags alone. Good to hear you got it working!
