Your flag only changes if you change government by revolution. If you want it to change without that you need an event something like this:

#########################################################################
#  Change flag # By Darkrenown.
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 750000
	random = no
	country = TAG #whichever country you are

	name = "To get my commie flag"
	desc = "Isn't DR great?"
	style = 0

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1836 }
	offset = 7
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1920 }

	action_a = {
		name = "What would I do without DR?" 
		command = { type = flagname  which = "commie" }
	}
	
}

muh... thats silly
but thank you, at least I now know why it doesn´t work :wacko:

I think it makes sense, a peaceful government change often results in the same flag being kept while a revolutionary government like to change it to get rid of traces of the old regime. I could probably make a mod to make flags change after a peaceful government change if you'd like.

Now, this is a shameless self promotion if I ever saw one!

I know, I know, so sue me if I couldn't come up with a better desc

extract this to db\events and your flags will change. Everyone happy now?

Edit: Anyone watch Futurerama? "And THAT'S why they call me Darkrenown the magnificent!"

 

[Darkrenown]

What about the action_b button that leaves the flag alone?

Why in the world would you add the flag change event and then pick the b option?

BTW, you want "command = { }" to have it do nothing.

 

[Darkrenown]

No, I don't think you can change the flag shown in the front end.

Oh, I don't know if I was clear in the post above. That mod makes your (and the ais) flag change depending on the government type without a revolution, so if you change to a democracy you get the democracy flag etc.

Are you using this mod now? No one seems to have commented on it

 

[Darkrenown]

Jap, it works! I´ve copyd it into the Civilize.txt eventfile. Only problem is I need to change the TAG everytime I´m playing another country.

Are you just using the change flag event? Use the new forcedreforms and the flag changes when your government type changes, even without a revolution. Plus it works for every nation so you can see what government type a country has at a glance (assuming they have different flags)

 

[Darkrenown]

Does this mean that it'll only change flags depending on the constitution/executive form i.e. democracy/monarchy/prol dictatorship.

Yes.

 

[Darkrenown]

I'll put it on my "to do when feeling better" list. I don't know if it's possible yet though, in the meantime there's always the flagchange event you can fire manually.

Since my above post had some vital words missing I thought I better re-post it:

Meh. I wish I'd have an event that'd give me the commie flag just by having the commies elected democratically.

Well I've been trying to make this, but it doesn't seem possible
I can make events like this no problem:

#########################################################################
#  Party flags # By Darkrenown.
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 70201
	random = no
	show = no
	persistent = yes

	trigger = {	OR = {
				government = { type = communist }
				government = { type = socialist }
			}
			}

	name = "Flag change"
	desc = "New ruling party, new flag"
	style = 0

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1836 }
	offset = 7
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1920 }

	action_a = {
		name = "Flag change" 
		command = { type = flagname  which = "commie" }
	}
	
}

The problem is making these events always active so they'll fire for any country whenever the ruling party changes, and I can't find a way
