Eu2 style faction shields, or something else?

I also couldn't get rid off those black spots in BIFs so any approach which eliminates this rubbish is good enough.

It is talking about the unit icons but the principle is the same.

Generally speaking, use Purpgrab.exe or Seqgrab.exe to convert shields from BMP to BIF, instead of Bifreader.
