Act of Union - Union Jack not appearing?

[shaldon]

In my last SP and now an MP game England's flag doesn't change to the union jack in 1700 with the act of union event. The event fires, everything else is applied (Scottish provs turn anglo-saxon, +1 centr, stab etc.), but the flag stays as the George Cross.

Anyone else come across this or is it just me? It was happening fine a while ago when I played SP.

Next question - what can I edit in the save (or anywhere else) to update this before the next MP session....

Near the top of the save file you should find the line looking like this:

flags = { 0 1 2 3 }

Add 6 to the list.

I've seen it quite often. You should report it in the bug forum instead.

Thanks, I'll try it.

If an admin reads this, can this thread be moved to bug forum please? I'll post new thread there later in the week otherwise.

Shouldn't matter as long as the event triggered. Sounds like all other effects happened but the flag which = 6 command didn't take effect.

 

[BiB]

It should be:

command = { type = flagname which = UK }

or something along those lines.

It should be:

command = { type = flagname which = UK }

or something along those lines.

That would be the new 1.08 generic flag change function but this is an old event using this command (from Havard's site):
command = { type = flag which = x }

Set game flag x to true.
0 = Tordesillas
1 = Reformation
2 = Calvin
3 = Council of Trent
4 = Edict of Tolerance.
5 = French Tricolor
6 = English Union Jack

The French Revolution/Tricolour event got changed to

command = { type = flagname which = REV }

and works fine.

What patch are you running? Running the Sept. 5 beta it works for me when I fire the event from the console (haven't installed the latest yet). (So the flag command apparently still works. Probably be best to use the newer flagname command anyway since it is more general and may be more reliable.)

It's happened under a couple of recent patches.

I4m generally running the patch just before the land bridges were added

I have this problem too, what exactly should I do?

You've had the event, the flag has not changed, and you want to know how to do it manually? If so, see post #3 in this thread.

 

[Gunner243]

Ok, I did went to add the 6 only to find that it was already there!
How does that work? I'm sure the event worked because the culture changed like it was supposed to.
