Old flags?

[Aquila SPQR]

How can I get old flags back? I totally dislike new ones (I don't like the idea of having modern flags in antiquity).

Do you have any of the older versions of AND or RoM? Look into them to find their Flag sets and then swap them out to your liking.

Ok, it may be a bit awkward, but I do not see any flag files in my AND folder. There are only files (flagdecal_civname.dds) in beyond the sword/assets/art/interface/teamcolor folder, and still not for all civs. I see no such folder or files anywhere in AND mod directory. I also searched whole AND folder for dds files and there are none found that contain flags.

So... they have to be somewhere, but... they aren't.

The flag decals are in the FPK files. Packing and unpacking those can be tough. It might be easier to edit the CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml file to point to different files and then place the proper files in your copy of the mod.

That's what I thought... Ok, it'll be a bit harder, but I'll try to do it, because these new (modern) flags are really bad IMO.

I don't really like them either, but every time I go poking around in the XML's and stuff I end up breaking things, so I learned to just put up with them ^^

Though it does make it hard for me to play as Alexander on an Ancient-Era start because of that flag XD

In the maps you change the flags,

Spoiler :

BeginPlayer
Team=0
LeaderType=LEADER_MONTEZUMA
LeaderName=TXT_KEY_LEADER_MONTEZUMA
CivDesc=Aztec Empire
CivShortDesc=Aztec
CivAdjective=Aztec
FlagDecal=Art/Interface/TeamColor/FlagDECAL_Aztec.dds
WhiteFlag=1
CivType=CIVILIZATION_AZTEC
Color=PLAYERCOLOR_FOREST_GREEN
ArtStyle=ARTSTYLE_AZTEC
PlayableCiv=1
MinorNationStatus=0
StartingGold=0
StartingX=162, StartingY=48
StateReligion=
StartingEra=ERA_ANCIENT
RandomStartLocation=false
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
EndPlayer

So like if you have a game, save it as a scenario, open it with notepad++ or whatever and edit the civs and change the flagdecal
FlagDecal=Art/Interface/TeamColor/FlagDECAL_Aztec.dds
WhiteFlag=1

Whiteflag refers to if the flag's background is white or not.
