Small Flags for all Nations

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

based on SergButo´s NationalityMod V3.0 I´ve made a new FlagS.dat, that provides small flags for all nations.
On suggestion/request of Carotio, who provided the *.tga files, I´ve implemented 3 new nations:

• China (civil/military)
• Uruguay
• Venezuela

Does this mod include flags for all of the nations in Sergbuto's Nationality Mod 3.0? Sometimes, people forget the smaller ones like the Red Cross or Croatia. Not that I am assuming that you did that - I'm just checking.

You donґt have to rename it. Just remove the original FlagS.dat from the LIBRARY folder!!!

What difference of your file from a file flagS.dat (Nationality Mod 3.0)?
You have repeated all the nations presented in a file flag.dat (Nationality Mod 3.0)?
The size of an animated flag for example Russian same as in a file flagS.dat.
:hmm:

Great!

I have been trying to include three new countries to SH3 in my GW-UA mod, but I don't know about hex-editing, so would you help me add these three countries:
China, Uruguay and Venezuela

I have the flags as tga files ready to send you in a mail, if you wanna help?

I intend to add it both to GW-UA and to the World Map (campaign land layer) mod, and you'll be mentioned in the credit list of course!

You can PM your mail adress if you wanna do it!

I don´t use SergButo´s NationalityMod. So I can´t tell.

I´ve 2 computers running SHIII.
#1 - NYGM2.2
#2 - GW1.1a
No other mods in use.

I´ve taken the Flag.dat from install #1 and inserted/converted the mesh animation of the FlagS.dat. So, all flags included in the clean SHIII/patched 1.4b/NYGM2.2-installation are present in a big and a small version.

But it will be no problem to insert any further flag, I think (hope).

@Carotio:
upload the files. I´ll see what I can do for you.

DD

NYGM 2.2 uses flag.dat from my Nationality mod v3.0. So, you basically took my work, inserted one 3d mesh from flagS.dat and distribute it without any credits.

sorry for that. I wasn´t aware that you´ve altered the flag.dat already. I don´t take work of others and pretend it´s mine wittingly. I didn´t mean to steal from you. So, UFN I will delete the d/l link. If I knew, I would have credited you of course in the first place.
Please tell me under what circumstances you would give permission to release this *.dat.

I am sure that you did NOT mean to "steal" the work or did it on purpose. However, when taking a file from already modified installs one needs to make sure that the particular file was not re-worked by other modders before distributing it. Reading Readmes usually helps in this respect (although I admit it is not very easy to get that from NYGM documentation because that is buried in enclosed RUB's Readme).

Normal crediting with mentioning the original mod should be enough.

well, I´ll keep that in mind for the future. I might have known if I´d taken a closer look.

It´s done now.



The file is available for d/l again: http://files.filefront.com/DD_FlagSr.../fileinfo.html
(now with enclosed InstallationInstructions.pdf containing the credits)

Good work Diving Duck - I'm glad that you and Sergbuto worked out this mistake to mutual satisfaction and to the benefit of the community. Your combined work is and will be an essential mod to pretty much all SHIII players.

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

updated version is available for d/l: http://files.filefront.com/DD_FlagsV.../fileinfo.html
3 new nations have been added. The older version has been removed. Credits go to SergButo and Carotio. You´ll find further information in the installation instructions included.

BTW, does anyone know how to change the thread title? Allthough I´ve installed the newest Java version I can´t change it.

DD

I checked the MUSEUM, but I can´t find the 3 new nations. Where are they?

Hi and welcome aboard

Its not enough just to add new flags to the dat to create new nations

They also have to be added to Defside.cfg and Roster folders created for them

Well, he added the three flags on my request!
If you go to my site, look under GW-UA, you'll see three screencaps of an ongoing project, which is soon to be finished!
And to the campaign land layer, I have added China, Venezuela and Uruguay. But if it should be perfect, there should be room for adding units too, and then the flags were needed!
But if you wait, I'll soon release it as an independant mod...

I added them to DefSide.cfg and created Roster folders. But no ships.
