changing of little flags in MP setup screen

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I'm currently working on a few enhancements for the Civil War mod - and have come up with a couple of nice things. But I still haven't figured out how to change the tiny little flag in the Multiplayer Setup Screen from being "Russian" to being a Confederates Battleflag. I just don't know where I can change that (or if it is possible at all).

I have figured out how to change the head display for the sides but not the flag (the western flag can stay the same since it is already a US flag).

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Here is a screenshot (you can see the side faces are already modded) but on the right side there is still the tiny russian flag...

BTW. I already know what files I have to change (pictures of those little flags are already done) - but I'm still searching for the correct entry where I can mod the change of the russian flags with my confederate flags that will show up when you choose the confederate side in multiplayer. Could it be hidden in the notebook animation? I haven't found any *.ccp yet where it is mentioned.... - ...but I will search on.

Maybe someone else had or has the same problem?

Have you looked at the ressource.bin ?

As usually the interface and UI are defined there, there is a chance you will find what you seek.

If it is not there, as those flags are inside the small file "Misc.pbo" that is found in

...\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\Res\Dta\

you can always provide in your \modfolder\Dta\ a modified version of this Misc.pbo in which you would have replaced those flag textures. As it is a very small file it is easy to do.

Thank you for your swift answer Sanctuary.

I have already found those files in the original "Misc.pbo", but strangely I haven't found any corresponding info in the ressource.bin or ressource.ccp file (that is what I don't really understand). Everything worked fine with changing the faces of the sides that players can choose - that was no problem at all since there is a corresponding entry in the ressource.bin / ressource.ccp file.

I will try to just import a MISC.pbo with the two changed versions of the little russian flag (2 because there is one "locked" version and one normal version) - and check if it works...

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Listen up - it is really VERY simple to mod the flags - the only thiny you have to do is make a copy of the "misc.pbo" file that can be found in the DTA directory in your Operation Flashpoint directory and unpbo it, then exchange the flag files you want to mod into your own files (give them the same name!wink_o.gif, pbo the file and place it in the DTA folder of your mod - and there you go it works perfectly.

Thank you for your input Sanctuary, without you I would have continued to search a more complex solution *lol*

Since the problem is solved the thread can be closed and marked as answerd (for all those who might search for an answer to the same questions).
