Changing the flags

[Vanquisher]

I am trying to change the british flag ingame (the one held by the bearer). But I can't find which file it is! I modded the one in flags1.dds and that changed the big floaty flags instead

Thanks for the help.

Where did you find "flags1.dds"?

[Vanquisher]

NO! I know where that is and it isn't the file I need. The one I need is elusive, to change the flag bearer's flag. Thanks,

[Looby]

well okay, but i would like to know, where you've found the flags.dds stuff?
i just want to know it

[jarnomiedema]

I'd suggest sending a PM to the guy who does the Prussian retextures in this exact same forum. He's found a way to do it. Once you find out, please share it with all of us, because I'd like to know as well..

EDIT: As you can see here:

[Vanquisher]

Sorry, I misunderstood because I thought this was about my own question.

That file is here anyway:

rigidmodels\flags\textures

[Vanquisher]

It's in the models pack file:p

jarnomiedema: Thanks for the help old boy.

how do I repack the edited flag into the pack file??

[Vanquisher]

You can edit the orginal or you can repack it with the modpacker as a mod.

[Vanquisher]

Why do you go do that without reading any of the tutorials!?

You've just replaced a file in the original game files, which probably means you'll have to reinstall the game if you want to get the original stuff back. Always, ALWAYS make a small mod file if you want to test stuff out. Never EVER replace stuff in the original pack files..

It's not too hard to get modded stuff in-game (trust me, I suck at any serious modding, but even I can get new DDS files in-game. Read all the tutorials carefully and you'll get through).

@Vanquisher: You're welcome! I hope you'll get some real answers soon..

Here is the file you need to mod:

UI/flags/nation of your choice/large.tga

In an unusual place

Here is the proof old boy:

[jarnomiedema]

Awesome.. Thanks for that! Oh, and I'm definitely going have to get that texture as well.. Looks fantastic!

[Vanquisher]

Please make another thread, I keep thinking someone has given me an answer There is also a huge tutorial on this.
