if anybody can think of a better flag or pic for this let me know

Good Man - I can't think of a better flag. From what I have heard and see about the Merchant Marine, those people had it rough in both the Atlantic and Pacific. I don't think I could done that kind of work. One second you are on this nice big ship. "BOOM!!!" the next you are drinking sea water and you ain't headed for the suface.

Yea, good flag - for all of them.

I am downloading now. THANKS.

The pic from Tater represented the whole cover of the book, not just the flag :)

May be you can mod the whole book cover to make it look like the real ONI208J of the picture (Hint, hint...:D )

That sounds like an interesting idea,

but im not quite sure how I would make it work
the rec manual cover is one file with the different flags
and names inserted for each catagory / country.

so it would be easy to make it look like that but making a functioning
could be tricky.

:hmm: Well here are some wild suggestions:

1: Start by doing the cover in the clearer coffe-brown colour and with the texture you want. Put only the lettering of the second and following rows "RECOGNITION MANUAL", "ONI-208J" and "Revised"

2: Change the flag graphics for bigger graphics that have the flag in the same clearer coffe-brown colour and with the texture you want, plus the matching lettering F.e. under the flag of japan the lettering "Japanese merchant Shipping". May be some tweaking of 1024menu ini is necessary.

Here is an example: Highlighted in red is teh new square for the flag, now bigger and with the proper lettering for the matching section of the book:

I like this idea,

ill have to save it for the weekend

good work hitman ill keep you posted on the progress.
Im realy happy about this thread, people putting their
ideas together to create new mods is what its all about.

Together we stand , divided we fall.

I did a little mod ages ago, not bad, but a complete rehash of the rec manual would be nice.
