Flags for foreign advisor

[Walter Hawkwood]

I decided to post a graphical mod I first made for my internal use. This replaces leader pics on foreign adviser screen with respective era-specific flags. These flags even have a "mood", represented by a colored circle around them. Currently the flags are available for:

America
Greece
Incas/Chilie
Germany
Russia
Rome/Italy
Egypt
Israel
India
Babylon/Iraq
Iroquois/Canada
France
Poland
England
Aztecs/Mexico
China
Scotland
Japan
Netherlands
Arabia
Celts/Ireland
Carthage/Tunisia
Spain
Turkey
Scandinavia (Sweden)
Mongolia
Korea
Mughal Empire/Afghanistan/Pakistan (a tricky one)
Nubia/Ethiopia
Zululand/Transvaal/South Africa

Download the mod

Here's a set for Arabia, to give you an idea...




BTW, I can make additional advisors, if you place your requests.


Attachments below contain specific WWII files, non era-specific, in two parts.

Great work! You can make Spincrus ones to complete the library.

Just name them, please... And one more thing - ancient civs (Sumer, Hittite) are an almost no-do, due to obvious lack of flags from that era. My God, Babylon was a hard one... Almost all civs present in vanill and civ3x are included, plus the Dutch and Incas too. Byzantines are merged with Greeks (have no idea why separate them), so maybe the only civ worth the addition from the regular game is Portugal. And maybe Persia. Or do you want something for a scenario?

...to get the point.

Point taken, but most of these leader-flags are not era specific (or at least a full set is unavailable). Such an advisor can only be made for a complete leader set. Still, Portugal seems to be complete enough...

Walter, great work, just what I needed for my scenario/mod...

could you post in a sentence how to best use them in the mod ?(what files do I need to change)


could you also make the following based (if you need a example for the graphic) on SpinCrus's flags:

Nazi Germany
Musolini Italy
Norway
Sweden
Baltic Countries
Soviet Union
Switzerland
Romania
Iran
Iraq
Denmark
Hungary
Slovakia
Yugoslavia
Bulgaria
France
Spain
UK
Sweden
Poland
Greece


Important: I would need them with the same graphics for all Eras, since my mod goes in the same time period over different Eras
I know it's quite a lot, but it would be great...
thx

Nice!

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Seven are done - check if that is what you need. BTW, is second Sweden really Finland?

The files should be located in ART/ADVISORS dir, and specific files are assigned to civs via pediaicons.txt, the very first batch of links.

@ Walter: i have seen some are done, but as said, I need them to have the same graphics for all eras, since the CIV in my scenario change Eras, but should not change flags...
also, the modern flags you have in the fourth era are the ones I need in the 3rd Era....
hope this is more or less understandable...

You didn't quite understand me. I've done seven of the ones you requested, and attached them to my previous post - see the zip there...

 

[aeldrik]

stupid me...

thx, yes, they are great, I'll add them right now and see what it looks like....
I'll let you know in about 80 min (the time it takes to start the scenario...)

 

[aeldrik]

ok, it was a lot faster then I fought, I only neede to load a saved game to add them....

It looks great, thx a lot for the first ones, would be great if you could do them all....

 

[Sarevok]

Very nice!

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Okay, all the rest are ready too - all here in a zip. I'm also updating my initial post to include them.

 

[aeldrik]

great thx.... with SpinCrus and your graphics I got all the leaderheads I need....

great work....

Any previews...

If you're talking about the WWII ones, they're just like the ones in the first post, just not era-specific. All in all, I wouldn't like to make previews out of more than 50 files. The one for Arabia gives you the idea of what they all look like. Maybe I will post an in-game shot, though...

It would be nice if you could do new foreign leaderheas for Conquest civs.

I really enjoy your work...

Well, it would be more simple for me to do if you were a bit more specific: which civs exactly you need, do these need to be era-specific, and if you also need leader pics (see my sig) to use with them.

 

[Inhalaattori]

It would be nice if you could do foreign advisor flags also for:
(I can help to find these flags, I just cant do the graphic work)

Persia (Modern Iran can be used)
Byzantium (I believe they used flags...)
Maya (Guatemalan flag will do for modern times)
Austria
Portugal
