On a side note, I've figured out how to change the flags on maps, so if you want your own flag flying over a tank, let me know! Confederacy? Californian? Canadian?

I make 'em!

I use Fraps to record a section of a game....your sniper one was from a UK server the other day. Snipers and people staying still are the only ones that work...
I create the flags with Photoshop and export them as a VTF file to stick in the DoD:S folder. Then I record a short scene with the flag.

Once I have the scene, I dump it into Adobe ImageReady, crop it, try to take out the crosshairs, remove as many frames as possible to keep the image small.
Then I add the text and export it as a GIF.....!

Takes me about 20 minutes!
