I removed the textures from the inc file, now the render runs... but 
although I defined a white pigment for the object pattern, it does not 
show up at all! The only way I can tell from is the slowing down of the 
render...

See you in Khyberspace!

Congratulations :o)

Now that it's there I can see a few reasons it might have given you problems 
with the upload:

When you download from the object collection it generates some files that 
you don't need to upload (a readme, a little script and a copyright logo). 
Basically anything that isn't prefixed with the object name you don't need 
to upload.

To make it 'standards compliant' you mostly just need to prefix everything 
with the object name. So I've prefixed the new include file and all the 
variables contained within it. With files generated from Inkscape this only 
needs two simple global changes, AllShapes to Flags_AllShapes and path to 
Flags_path.

I've also added the same 'Flags_' prefix to the new image files and changed 
all references to file names to lowercase. The server changes the file names 
to lowercase automatically, so any references to files from within other 
files need to be in lowercase.

I've made those minor changes and marked it as fully compliant (3).

I hope these trials and tribulations didn't put you off. The flags you've 
done are excellent.

Best Regards,
Chris B.

The Spanish flag doesn't look quite right. The middle yellow stripe should
be twice as wide as the red stripes. The image looks like 1.5 times only.

The proportions of the Swiss flag's cross don't look exactly right either.
According to Wikipedia ("Flag of Switzerland") the cross's arms should be
"a sixth longer than their width", and "a relation of 2:3 or 7:10 to the
span of the flag is usual".

They were just meant als provisional... currently I'm working on Chris 
Bartlett's Flags.inc, thoroughly revising these preliminary drafts!

See you in Khyberspace!
