Help changing banner symbols on the strat map

[Lord Condormanius]

Changing the Saxon symbol was easy. All I did was find it in the proper file, banners/symbols6.tga and replace it with a new one.

But with the Normans, things are different. They share a symbol with England. How do I change this? How do I tell the program which symbol to grab from these file that have 4 symbols?:hmmm: I just can't fiugre it out?

In m2tw/data/banner there are 8 files, they are named symbols1.tga.dds, symbols2.tga.dds etc.
Every file holds 4 logos for stratmap.

In descr_sm_factions.txt you define by number which logo will the faction use, that number starts from 0, so symbols1.tga.dds is reffered by four numbers, starting from top-left: 0, 1, 2 and 3, symbols2.tga.dss reffers to numbers: 4, 5, 6 and 7 etc.
The first unused file is symbols6.tga.dds (only bottom 2 logos), with the starting number 22

Example for descr_sm_factions.txt in England faction:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
faction						england
culture						northern_european
religion					catholic
symbol						models_strat/symbol_england.CAS
rebel_symbol				models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS
primary_colour				red 215, green 0, blue 0
secondary_colour			red 255, green 210, blue 0
loading_logo				loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_england.tga
standard_index				12
logo_index					FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
small_logo_index			SMALL_FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
triumph_value				5
intro_movie					faction/major_intro.bik
victory_movie				faction/england_win.bik
defeat_movie				faction/england_lose.bik
death_movie					faction/england_lose.bik
custom_battle_availability	yes
can_sap						no
prefers_naval_invasions		yes
can_have_princess			yes
has_family_tree					yes
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

And here is the example for the Normans:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

faction						normans
culture						northern_european
religion					catholic
symbol						models_strat/symbol_england.CAS
rebel_symbol				models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS
primary_colour				red 215, green 0, blue 0
secondary_colour			red 255, green 210, blue 0
loading_logo				loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_england.tga
standard_index				12
logo_index					FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
small_logo_index			SMALL_FACTION_LOGO_ENGLAND
triumph_value				5
intro_movie					faction/minor_intro.bik
victory_movie				faction/prologue_win.bik
defeat_movie				faction/minor_lose.bik
death_movie					faction/minor_lose.bik
custom_battle_availability	no
can_sap						no
prefers_naval_invasions		yes
can_have_princess			yes
has_family_tree				yes

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

As you can see from the highlighted numbers they use the same strat banners. Change the number and make the banner in the number you want and it should be there. Credit goes to Tsar Stefan Dusan IV for letting me know this. If you have any questions, just ask.
