Flags Have Disappeared??

[{gibby}666]

I used to have TATW installed, and that mod removes the in battle unit flags... u know the ones that have your country's emblem on them aswell as the mini ones that show veterency.
i no longer have TATW installed, infact i removed M2TW completly and reinstalled fresh. however.... THE FLAGS ARE STILL GONE!!!!! and i kinda miss those flags...
i dunno if its a file i havnt deleted or sumthin, but does anyone know which file controls this feature and how i can turn it back on?
I have had a look through this section of the forum for help, but couldnt find the solution

In medieval2.preferences.cfg,

change show_banners = 0 to show_banners = 1.

nice one dude

how do i open and edit said file?



how do i delete this post????

[{gibby}666]

riiite ive opened said file using notepad....
and all it says in it is:


[video]
widescreen=0
[game]
allusers=1



???

At [video], add this line: show_banners = 1...

It will look like this:

[video]
widescreen=0
show_banners = 1

You have to start a campaign to get the full preferences file. Battles don't count.

Ive done all the above and nothings changed...
but i also still had my old save games.
so i mite try reinstalling the game into a new folder on the harddrive
cheers you 2 anyway

May not be savegame compatible. Do they show up in a new campaign?

[Supermoler]

Changing show_banners is save game compatible. I changed it a lot of times in the same campaign...

[irishron]

It's been too long since I changed mine and forgot. Thank you.

yeh ive started a new game, deleted old saves, etc.
reckon new install with new directory is the way to go??

[irishron]
