How hard would it be to change?

[Groove74]

I have been looking on the net at some differnt flags that I would like to try in game. how hard is it to change a factions flag. I am no modder and really have no clue where to start. But I was wondering is there some kinda tool are easy way to change the flags in the game?

I don't think there's any tool out to do this, but I have seen mods that change country's flags so it is doable. Maybe look around the released the forums, maybe theres a tutorial or something.

It is very easy to do from my knowledge. I can't say I've looked into it too much but I believe just replace the facton's flag with your own in the DB files?

I didnt use photoshop so i cant help you there waiting to get my photoshop copy but its as easy as unpacking the files you need and using a simple image editor and cutting out the old flag and then editing your flag and insert it into the old flag so you can size it up right and repack it but the MOST IMPORTANT PART IS MAKE SURE WHEN YOU REPACK YOUR MODIFIED FILES THAT THERE FOLDER IS IN THE DATA FOLDER OF YOUR ETW DIRECTORY FOLDER :C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data better yet when you unpack the rigidmodels and UI folder unpack them into your C:\ProgramFiles\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data because when u want to repack them if there not in your data folder u wont be able to repack and use them ok so back to where i was
then use your DDS converter program and convert them into a bmp or png and change the output folder to something maybe in your documents like i did then edit the files to your liking for the flag then when your are done make sure to convert them back either to TGA or DDS remember that if your not sure about if u need to convert it too TGA or DDS remember that the UI folder files are all TGA and Rigidmodels folder files are in DDS format when i get my photoshop i give u a step by step picture tutorial to help but might be a few days ordered my copy of photoshop last night
i know this really didnt help much as far as editing goes but your best bet is too unpack it for fun then mess around with them editing wise to get the feel of photoshop and see what u can do wish i could help u with photoshop but im clueless until i get mine
