What does this actually do besides put animated gif's somewhere?

you have to get a plugin that puts the flag in postbit and stuff like that i just wanted to share the gifs

toooo beautifulll.. i am really loving this. the animation is just perfect :up:

Please nominate images on behalf of the State
And replacement of the old name

For example
United States = United States.gif
from flag_us.gif for United States.gif
from flag_ye.gif for yemen.gif

Hello!

something is wrong with file name (extension) GIF --- should be gif and how and where implement that code " {title}: <img src="./style_images/flag/flag_{key}.GIF" /> "

also must change all filenames to flags ... to countryname.gif

reg

macc

can some fix that and make wright code to put in postbit and postbit_legacy?

No problem i found it you have to rename the name flag_in.gif to india.gif

thanx a lot LightInClouds & Soup^Dragon

it came now up... :)

I am new at modding vB - first one actually - and I had this mod on phpBB so I have added it according to the user profile custom field addition and then linking to the flag name in postbit_legacy - and this does indeed work if the file is renamed from the list provided ie:
flag_au.GIF --> Australia.GIF works but that requires renaming all the flags according to the names in the list whilst the original bundle already provides a translation key:
...
au=Australia
...
in phpBB this is done using a language key where anything called for as 'au' shows up as 'Australia'; then the menu list would be the list of keys
...
au
...
which is an easier job to edit than the actual file names - including the fact that there are spaces and capitalisation in the file names and also some exceptions to the two letter country code etc...

There must be some simple code that would allow the supplied list to be used in both the dropdown and the image file translation without a lot of editing?

Language key:
at=Austria
au=Australia
aw=Aruba
ax=Aaland

Drop down menu is then set up as

at
au
aw
ax

but displays to users as

Austria
Australia
Aruba
Aaland

and when one is selected by the language key in the profile it translates to:

flag_at.GIF
flag_au.GIF
flag_aw.GIF
flag_ax.GIF

or

flag_$post[fieldX].GIF

Sort of thinking out loud since I don't even know if this is where such a question should be asked...

LOL

I want/need to know how the waving effect was made :)

Thank you man!

Not sure what technique was used in this instance but I have used photoshop displacement/bump maps and lighting effects in the past. There are numerous tutorials around. eg using
http://www.nomadthepirate.com/tutorial/
you can very quickly get:
http://www.archeli.com.au/flags/anim_Australia_55.gif
http://www.archeli.com.au/flags/Ital...will_angle.gif
etc. (not as good as the ones in this post I know) but you get the idea.
This mod's flags are using a much higher frequency bump map and lighting effect and an angle on the effect which is partly why the flags look so good cropped as they are...


BTW great tutorial - thanks!

I tried to amend country name, however things went wrong, plz re_arrange country names as following

United States = United States.gif
from flag_us.gif for United States.gif

aah damn, i really like this one, too much work for me to even begin with :o

anyone got the flags renamed that would like to share with me?

Thank You Very Much!

Is fantastic, Thanks

can anyone upload a new file with all the flags renamed?
thanks

I think we can divide the pictures to 3 people, then if we rename it together it will be very quick work.
I rename now the folder: New Folder

Here: The first Folder

Thanks for the amendment, awaiting for completion of the rest.

thanks

thankx but this flags are showing me on forums i think i have rename flags name and that's anoyying

Names of all States has been modified


The rest of this, Did not know it

<!-- / flags start -->
<div>
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><img src="images/flags/$post[fieldX].gif"></if>
</div>
<!-- / flags end -->

needs to be

<!-- / flags start -->
<div>
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><img src="images/flags/$post[fieldX].GIF"></if>
</div>
<!-- / flags end -->

for any people that have Linux hosting systems

the attached folders do not work. when i go to extract the files i get a message saying that there are no files to extract. o well will change the names myself

Original folder 2 contains the map of codes to country names. The codes are the iso standard country codes.

correct me if im wrong but i think "Holy See (Vatican City State)" is the same as Vatican City. see attachment below
