Okay, this isn't really a major game question, but its something I'm curious about. I was looking through the game files yesterday, and noticed that each faction has several shields and flags, one for a monarchy, one standard, one republic i think, and one communist.

I've changed countries to Communist Proletarian Dictatorships, and I've never gotten the awesome Communist flags shown in the graphics files. :( Is this supposed to happen? Is it possible for a country's flag to change?

there is a command

command = { type = flagname which = "name of flag' }

thus if the event is for GER, the line

command = { type = flagname which = "commie" }

would change the flag displayed to the GERcommie flag.

Now in theory the game engine should switch flags to commie if there is a revolution, but it does not every time for some reason (and if commies come to power by election or appointment they may not cause the flag to switch either since it did not come to power via revolution).

you'd have to script an event to fire to change the flag.

OR

you could add the line

flagname = "commie"

to your nation's section of the savegame file.

ok, thanks

I'll see how making an event works out

EDIT: It works, thanks :)

I want to take a look at these commie flags, where are they in the file folders?

EDIT: I found them, they're all tiny, though. :mad:
They're 44x70, same as the "normal" ones. You did look in the "shields" directory, not the "flags" one, right?

Remember that you can rename the files in the directory if you wish to have another flag as standardflag. I've done this myself several times for e.g. Russia, Japan, France etc. You get bored of the normal flags after a while.

Check out the flag directory, while it's still up. :p

That's an idea.
But modding the flagname line of the save is a easier way actually. You will need to check the name of the flag you want (for instance "CSA commie") and then change the name of your flag in the save.
