Flag's size excessive

[alexoscar]

Is out there any mod to reduce or eliminate the ship's flags? On my opinion, according to real pics from period, ingame they are too bigger and not real. Moreover, their position on ships is plain wrong.

Thank you in advance.

For example, Scharnhost/Gneisenau class (same problem in all ships):

Real:



Ingame:



I have used the "Search function" without results.

Escholot made a smaller trees mod . Maybe you could do the same with the flags ?

Hi alexoscar!

The problem is only with the warships:


now smaller size

The flags of the merchants are ok:


original size

Please post a list which would you have changed.

Looking better. I would also appreciate a standalone mod with real sizes of shipflags.

I´ve done it with the warships. Light cruisers and above, no escorts.

If someone want test or improve it:

known issue: this units you can´t open in "granny viewer" (CRC mismatch)

Later it´s a fine Task for TDW´s GR2-editor!

The smaller flags we had already in stock game. I have renamed the mountpoints "cfg#FLG" -----> "cfg#FLS". Now the game mount the small flags instead the "regular".

Thanks Uekel!

This is a problem that has always annoyed me. Huge flags make the big warships look small when compared to merchants. Will test this when I have time!

Hey, Thanks Rongel!

I know still not as accurate as the GR2 units with CRC error in the game behave. In the museum, everything is easy, I had also sunk the USS New York in a test mission, everything seems to run. Goblin editor also open there. Seems that the game don´t care the CR-Check.

I have uploaded another version, "Graf Spee" I has ignored and "Panzerlandungsschiff" (sorry, dont know the english name now) also need that.

I find now the flag for "Admiral Hipper" as too small, maybe someone have the same opinion?

Just came across this one, downloaded right away.
Those huge flags have always pi..ed me off.
Will test and report asap.

@ uekel

Just tested your Smaller Flags for Warships Mod with leaving Wilhelmshafen during Happy Days, and all the surface warships in the port area look sooo much better now, it almost tickles my stomach.
It's a real joy and a vast improvement! Einfach toll!

Is this the final version or will you tweak it further? For me you could make this an official REL release.
I'd like to suggest to pedrobas to include this mod in his upcoming MMM megamod, if you agree.

Agreed! I forgot to comment this, but been using for sometime now the smaller warship flags, and haven't seen any problems. It's a small detail, but makes a big difference, I never want to see the huge flags again, thanks uekel!

Testing now like Optional in MMM.

Hey Guys, Thanks!

For now I have made this changes with an hex-editor. When I have a suitable tool available, surely I'll move the flags to their historical position. Also, for some flags I'm not sure, whether they appear now too small. An example is "KM Hipper". There are still some room for improvements.

Ok, persuaded, I will subsequently do.
