Question about file assignments in SH4 [Archive]

I am about to wrap up my graphic mod for SH4 UBM. There is one thing which drives me crazy, though... It is the case of nations who use two different flags: war flag and civil ensign (Australia, Britain, Canada, etc).
I thought that if I create flag file named 'CountryFlag.dds' (for war flag) and then 'CountryFlag_m.dds' (for civil ensign) the game will be able to sort it out...

Here is the funny thing: it works for Australia, Britain, Canada and some others but the same system utterly fails in case of India, Greece, Free France and others. I don't get it?

Is there any file designating which textures are to be used with war flags and and which different ones with civil ensigns????

Thanks!

I searched whole SH4 directory and can't find it. Where is it supposed to be located?

The flag.dat is in

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Library

Thanks, I got it. Is it possible for somebody to explain to me (in layman's terms) how to edit .dat in Silent 3ditor? If it is too complicated, would somebody be willing to modify Flag.dat for me so I can finally release my mod?
Thanks!
