GUSFM Flags and EEP

[unmerged(9907)]

I have just loaded up these beautiful new flags and shields in the main EU files.

But the EEP contains some flags/shields which overwrite these with (mainly 8 bit) versions. These are good, but inferior, eg Hungary.

Apart from those for Uxx countries, which aren't in GUSFM, can all the others be safely removed from EEP, or will that cause problems somehow?

Yes

Sorry, shouldn't use two part questions like that!

So, please, is that yes it's OK to remove them?

Or yes it will cause problems?

It's Ok to remove.

In addition to this, can I ask what's the lowdown on using 24 bit shields instead of 8 bits? I've seen users preferring those 8 bits to the 24 bits, that onbviously have a better quality.

24 bits have better quality, 8 bit has only limited number of colors. Plus, some new countries might have only 24 bit flags.

The 8-bit nutcases are doing it because 24-bit flags are easier to see through the fog of war and they feel it's an exploit that gives them too much of an advantage over the AI.
