Not flying the flag

[Cap'n Pugwash]

Yep, it's version 3.5.8 I downloaded. I don't know if it is significant, but when I use GIMP to open up the \data\Textures\TNormal\tex file, I don't see any entries for flags at all.

Go to the folder with the flags in them and right click on a flag.dds
select "open with" and then set either GIMP or paint.net

Then when you double click a .dds file - it load your image viewer.

OK thanks, I've set that up now. All I can see on the 7B dds is the conning tower shot, with 3 (untexted) arrows pointing to the two guns and the periscope - no sign of a flag.
I have to sign off now, as I have spent almost 10 hours today bowling on the Berwickshire coast in the teeth of a light breeze, and I am 'cream crackered'. Many thanks to TheDarkWraith, and to Trevally too - and to the 200+ other viewers who have witnessed my distress.
I still like to think we'll get the flag flying yet.

Slainte,

Pugwash

Right. I have been looking around for this flag. The situation at the moment is this:
1. When I open \data\Textures\TNormal\tex, there is no flag under the entry for 7B , nor for any of the other 7 boat options. The picture I am getting is the same as you get in the game when you go to the subsystems menu and choose deckwatch - it shows the conning tower and armament. No flag.
2. There are German flags further down the \Tnormal\tex list - German shows the battle ensign, and German_m has the merchant(and party) flag. These will probably be there because I have the accurate German flags mod installed. Could it be that this is causing a conflict?
3. The \flags\conus00 and \flags\reaper7 folders do have the flags showing correctly, but somehow they are not reaching the link to my boat.

Sounds like you have not installed the mod correctly

From the download - unzip to desktop.
Open first folder to see - "flags" + "MODS"
Open the MODS folder to see "SubFlags_0_0_6_byTheDarkWraith"

This is the folder you must paste into the MODS folder in your SH5 main

Note: to check if a mod is correct in you MODS folder,
open JSGME and before installing - right click and select explore.
You MUST see a "data" folder.
If not - the mod was not ready for installing.
If yes - go ahead and install.

Yep. Cracked it at last. Well done, and thank you very much, Trevally. Now if only I could put back all the hair I have been tearing out.

Slainte,

Slainte,

It's cheaper just to wear a hat.
