[REL] GWX_DFa-Flag&Pennants_2010

[Jeff-Groves]

Ah. I see Anvart was up to old tricks and set the file up so S3D can't open it.

Your going to need to know how to hex edit.
As he is a Friend? I'll respect what he did and not fix it!
And he knows full well I could.

[Anvart]

As my Friend said the mod GWX_DFa-Flag & Pens_2010.rar is absolutely correct. I made a small change to the SubsFlag.dat file that prevents S3D from reading this file. This change has absolutely no effect on the functionality of the file in the game ... but it is an obstacle for the S3D program. Thanks to this trick, no one changed my mod for a long time (until 2013), and this fact allowed me to appreciate that the mod is absolutely correct. In 2013 (IIRC in the middle) I published the unlocked SubsFlag.dat file. Over the next years, I also published (privately and publicly) the link to this file (2 or 3 times). Your assumptions that the mod was made with the error speaks about your incompetence in modding. I, Jeff and others HexEdit-modders used this trick since 2008, IIRC.
P.S.
There is only one version of the mod - 2010. I have not created new mods on this topic.

To want is not harmful... but not at someone else's expense. (lol)

Good luck

I fully understand Herr Kaleun!
I am a spoilt little brat who wants this, who wants that but with no idea on how to do it for himself!
Furthermore, I now understand and appreciate what a fantastic mod it is and if you think you need an apology please accept mine for any insult to you, I might have caused!

With my FRIEND's unlocked version?
You can use S3D to change the flag to what ever you want now.


As a side note on locking files? YES! We do that from time to time.
Mostly to stop quick rip offs of some hard work!

I can, and do make, GR2 files for SH5 at times that the Goblin Editor and TDW's program can not open.

010 Hex Editor is an amazing program that can do things no other program can do!

Do you doubt what I wrote? After the appearance of intermediate versions of S3D in 2008, knowing the structure of the main SH3 files, and imagining the role of various blocks (chunks) of the files, I easily found the necessary solution to prevent reading the main files. S3D is a strict program to make it easier for modders ... but it does not take into account some of the nuances of the game engine, which allows you to use various tricks ... this trick and, for example, zeroing 2 bytes, which allows you to not have the 1st main Skwasjer's signature.
If I misunderstood you ... Sorry!

P.S.
... or do you doubt that I'm YOUR FRIEND?


Good luck.

Dear KUrtz, that was just a silly joke!
Sorry.

Anvart.

I mean KUrtz can change the flag with S3D with your unlocked version.

And You are still my Friend!

[Anvart]

I figured it out, Jeff.
In this version of the mod, I used flags from my another old mod - SH4 flags adaption to SH3. I wanted to make the next version of the mod with the standard German naval flags and with my own animations of this flags (published some examples of the animations of 2009-2010). But the loss of interest to SH3 and my laziness prevented me to do it. I don't like the rubbish as 'Skull & Crossbones' etc. I prefer the standard naval flag! in the form that I know.
