These are the raw image files for a different set of "clean" flags (pure red and white only). You must resize them if you want to use them.

To add flags after later patrols: Disable the mod, edit your kills.tga the way you want it, then re-enable the mod. I'd recommend you be in port to be safe, but it will probably work at sea as well.

Strange, created one but don´t see it ingame, even after enabled it via jsgme

This was for 1.9, so if you're using 2.0 it may be different, haven't sat down and really figured that out yet. Also, I don't believe it will work on the S-Boats.

You´re right man ! :o) I´m on an S-Boat in the moment, so it doesn´t work.

The mod works fine so far with TMO2.0. But I´ve got another problem : I´ve choosen

transparency as background for my patrol-star but the background is white if I use it with my kill flags (background for the star only).

The star also appears on an white background on the right window in gimp after I saved it. Oh...btw...I´m using gimp 2.6
