Well, all the work it's thanx to you MKJ.

All the flags is 24 bit, however if someone wants them as 8 bit I can post them as well. (The flags that I've done that is)

 

[Mad King James]

you should make 8 bit flags available seperately, since 24 bit flags can clash :/

How embarrassing,

...Fixed the glitch, works fine now.

Added following shields to the Shield Mod V.1.00:

Friesland (

This previous shield is based on the flag)

Japan

Gelderland (

This previous shield is actually based on a german province)


And these flags:

Bourbonnais (By Korath)

Gelderland (By Korath)

Hungary (By Korath)


If you've already downloaded the mod you can get the updates here

it might just be me, but the smallshields for friesland and geldre seem to be invisible.

 

[Aetius]

...sounding like a broken record...

Any chance of adding Mad King James shields to the download?

 

[Mjuice]

The Friesland shield was not visible in the game with me either.

 

[Birger]

I've noticed the problem, don't know why they get invisible...
Anyway, I'll redo those two asap tomorrow.

 

[unmerged(7398)]

They seem to be saved as OS/2 bmps, not Windows. Or, at least, loading them into Photoshop and Save-As'ing them over the old versions fixes them.

(You can note the difference in their file sizes.)

Are they finished? not in a hurry, but I won't start my gelre game before I get a visible shield...

just wanted to know, so I don't wait for something that's finished

 

[Birger]

Yup they're ready, redid the look on the Friesland shield.
The two lions should look forward not sideways.
(Included them in Shield Mod V.1.00)


Gelre and Friesland update

Friesland (If someone can find me a better pic I'll redo this one...)

Gelre

It would probably be helpful to increase the version number when you make a change. That's kind of the point.

Nice work

A note though. The colours of the Swedish are not correct. I know FOTW has those colours, but they are not correct in this case, probably because of the translation from the definition to the program making the picture they used. Actually Paradox got it right, they use the correct colours (not the correct shape though ). Besides, if I'm not mistaken that FOTW colour is very hard if not impossible to create with the dyes of that time - I can be wrong about this though.

Yeah, I know that...
I'll do that after this update because I only corrected some wrong shields.

I noticed that today as well, the flag looks a bit to grey.
Here's the Swedish flag with the correct colors.

According to Riksarkivet (In Swedish)



Sweden's flag from FOTW
