And instead of coupling it to the "submerged-status"-thingy it could just as well be linked to a key?!

Wasn't there a tradition about lashing a broom to a sub 'mast' to indicate a successful patrol (i.e. a clean sweep)?

If the flag appearance can be modded, can the same be done for a broom? Just curious.

Just swap them out.

Take a copy of the British.tga flag (or whatever it's called), put it into the folder/file the Jap.tga image is in. Delete the Japanese flag......rename the British.tga to whatever the Jap flag was named.

======================

This is quite an old thread, I'm assuming Fitzcarraldo has found by now that yes, flags can be put onto subs. Many mods have this feature.

Funny about the Broom.......there is one modeled in-game. The model is in the Sensors_sub_US.dat file (along with the radar covers that were never implemented in-game). The trouble with both, a script has to be made in order to tell the game what to do with them. Since we don't have access to the hard coded files........no script will be made. Thus, no use of the models of a broom, or the radar station covers will occur. Well, the broom could be made to stand up in the corner of the conning tower, but that's about all we can do with it.
