0.20, flag decals - how to use them?

[aandred]

Ok, I'm officially clueless, time to register to the forum...

Hi!

Both official announcements and a readme file state that I should be able to use flag decals on my crafts. How do I do that? I keep searching in the editor, asking uncle google... Still no idea. Am I just blind? There's a "flag =" parameter under each spacecraft part in persisten.sfs, but adding name of the flag there seems to yield no result whatsoever.

Not decals. However, you can specify a flag for your project and, if you wish, for each mission. Kerbals can plant flags (one each) by right-clicking on them during EVA.

Ahh, pity. That's something I was really looking to - as opposed to torchships, planetary rings and multiplayer

But... What is the meaning of the following line from readme file then?

"- Added a FlagDecal part module. Allows any part to have a part of its model textured with the selected flag."

The words "part module" in this case mean that part creators can put a "MODULE { modulename=FlagDecal ....}" section into the part config file.

I.e. it is now possible to create parts that display the current mission flags on their bodies, but no such parts as of yet exist.

Now I get it. Thanks
