I tried your advice @TheRealLarkas..... it didn't work :(

Weird! They show up fine for me. Have you tried unsubscribing and resubscribing?

For some reason these emblems don't show up

Niiice! I'll be sure to check your work out!

Ah nice, looks like the process I've used is very similar to yours.

Alright, I've captured the most important steps here [imgur.com].

So, step-by-step:

1) Create a gradient [imgur.com]. Pretty straightforward! :lunar2019grinningpig:
2) Play around with Bevel and Emboss options in layer styles. These are the settings I came up with [imgur.com].
2.a) Of special importance is the Gloss Countour curve for emulating a metallic look. These are my settings [imgur.com].
3) Add Countours to double down on the chisel-like look. My settings [imgur.com].
4) Voilà [imgur.com]!

I have no idea how that translates to Gimp (or whichever program you're using in Linux), if at all. But in the slim chance that this can be of help, there you have it!

Well now I'm curious, please upload if you can. And yeah, mine also look better in higher resolutions, particularly the tiny 22px ones which have quite a few artifacts caused by the bevel in thin/pointy areas.
It's a shame you cannot use higher resolutions than the game offers. The current ones are ok but not the best for high resolution displays.

Ah, glad to hear it! I checked it out, and while I did have the presets for my other emblems saved, I never made them for these. I was able to dig the files out, however. It seems that I made custom bevel/emboss versions of the emblems. They actually look waaaay better in high-res :lunar2019smilingpig: If you need to see what I did by any chance, let me know and I'll see if I can upload screenshots of the transformations somewhere!

I see, thanks. Unfortunately Photoshop is not available for my OS (Linux). In any case, I got it working in the end with GIMP and they look quite close to vanilla.

@Hori not sure if you still need this, but I used Photoshop CS5 to do these! I had the presets saved, but I'm not sure if I still have them :steamsad:

Updated for 2.7.x. Sorry for taking so long to update it, guys, real-life has a way of getting in the way of fun. :lunar2019deadpanpig:

Might I ask what technique did you use for making them? Did you use GIMP or PS?
I'm making my own flags mod and I'm trying to make the flags look as close to vanilla as possible.
Thanks.
