@Captain Lurmey, I believe I took in-game screen shots and then used Photoshop to vector them.
@shavy, no.

Where do you find the image files for the ranks? I'm trying to add them to a mod for myself in another game but I can't seem to find the Rookie icon anywhere online...

lw2?

Diabloshift, I have added the Commander rank to the flag selections, but because this rank is not attainable by normal units, I have made it as an optional extra. Please see the How To Activate the Commander Rank discussion. The icon looks a little different because it was a complete pain in the ass to re-draw.

For everyone who has tweaked this mod already, I appologise, but the recent update will have reverted your tweaks back to the original settings. You'll need to tweak again.

Diabloshift, is it that one with the skull infront of the wreath with three stars on the skull's crown? The game has that icon named rank_fieldmarshall, but I read that it was unused. If that's not the image, could you take a screenshot of it form me? I'll be able to find it in the game's files that way.

There's a special icon for the Commander's Avatar . Can you add that one as well as a flag?

Thank you very much.

walter_odell, link has been added under his thanks line.

Been looking for a mod like this since day one, thank you. On a side note could you point me to that tutorial by Voleman, I'd like to do this but with the U.S. Marine Ranks, unless you'd like to take on the job. :) Once again great mod idea.

Hybridon & WildsGuard, thanks for pointing that out, I was completely unaware of such a bug. I've found the file and deleted it, but XCOM and it's SDK is being patched at the momement, so I'll fix the mod after it's finished that. Thanks again.

Bananas_on_Bread, drugs are bad. Just say no.

please rename mod to "remove character traits for rp playthroughs"

Hey mate, thanks for these flags but I'm noticing the file size is a bit too big. This is a known bug in the SDK and it's linked to the ModShaderCache.upk files
Follow the steps in this guide to fix it

Alternatively, after building the solution go into SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\XCOM 2 SDK\XComGame\Mods folder and in the corresponding mod\Content folder delete the ModShaderCache.upk before uploading the mod. Thanks again for these flags. :)

Im pretty sure this file is bigger than it should be, 100mb for 8 flags. Theres a thread on reddit that helps out on deleting unecessary files that make mods so huge and lower the computers performance, dont have the link atm, but if you cant find it I can post it later.

Cool, appreciate the quick response and implementation!

Updated to your suggestions, Bantichai.
Ranks now list from Rank 1-Rookie to now be 0: Rookie Rank.

Psi ranks will be listed as 1: Initiate Psi-Rank. When I get them done.

Or maybe, 1: Rookie Rank, 2: Squaddie Rank.

Is it possible to make a version without "Rank" in the country name. Ie, 1-Rookie. Just curious if that would bump all of them right to the top of the country list, so I wouldn't have to shift through as I have quite a few flag mods, but still want to use yours.
