Yes I had to remove it. Basically all the custom icons are one big image, and that image can change with updates.
The problem is that if Paradox changes that image it can break the game.
Normal flags have their own files and the worst case is that an update doesn't have anime flags.
With custom flags it can crash the game since it tries to reference a nonexistent icon index within the big image.
If I get the time I will split it off into it's own separate mod so that you can disable it easier when a new version breaks it.

The custom nation flag emblems don't seem to work as of the current game version

I have had so little time, even to watch the new stuff. This game...doesn't exactly help with that. Last I watched was Gwitch...and I haven't even finished the first half.

Heh, I know the feeling. 2 dayjobs and weekend consulting. Still one must have their priorities straight: waifus first :D

Also there is a LOT of waifu material out there, sad that we only got 4 tags. I don't want to put Ai from Oshi no ko on rebel flags :( , then there is Danmachi that I just recently caught up on.
Eminence in Shadow, Hikari no ou, Chainsaw man, Bocchi the Rock, Tensei shitara Ken, Akiba Maid War... the list goes on. So many good waifus, so few tags.

Oh, wow. That's more than I thought(also just straight up forgot about EIC completely even with it being a big deal).

Hope I didn't seem pushy, I get being busy coming off busy season at work while doing Grad School. Thanks for all of this, I do enjoy the mod!

So it turns out there are (compared to 1.32):
4 new tags: AngevinEmpire, East India Company, Latin Empire, Latgalia
2 new loading screens
16 rebels flags

I fixed the 4 new tag flags, the rest will have to wait. Also found out that some flags (like Revolutionary France) are not images but generated with the custom flag designer so I cannot mod them.

Yes, I was just a bit busy. I'll have to fill some pre-domination missing flags (some livonian tag) and loading screens too.

Just wondering if there will be an update for Domination...though I suppose off the top of my head its only the Angevin tag that was added.

Oops. Yes, my bad. I actually made the flag but didn't include it by accident. Gonna update ASAP.

I saw you updated, but there is no Waifu for Zimbabwe when I formed it! They made it similar to Siam in that you have to complete part of the mission tree for Mutapa to form it.

Well there are 3 methods.

1 - If you don’t want to create a new mod you can just modify my files but they can be overwritten by steam so make backups. (you can find my mod in steamapps/workshop/content/236850/688490819 on the drive you installed EU4 on.)

If not, create a new mod from the EU4 launcher:
Mods->Mod tools->Create a mod
That will create your mods directory in, Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod\nameofyourmod

Now you have choices:

2 - either copy my mod entirely, that will make your mod independent

or

3 - create only the files you wish to change.

This results in a smaller mod that depends on my mod. My mod should be loaded AFTER yours.

In all cases, flags are 128x128, 24 bit, TGA files that go into gfx\flags\ and are named by tag. These can be RLE compressed but overall the space savings are probably inconsequential.

Loadingscreens are 2048x1536 DDS files these can be (and should be) DXT1 compressed.

Whats good king this is easily the best mod out there and i was wanting to edit some of the flags just for my own machine, do you know of a way to do that without making a whole new thing from scratch

I've made good progress yesterday, got like 90 waifus from the last 3 seasons. If all goes well I should be done by tomorrow.

Theres tons of new animoo too. Nagatoro has some solid waifus.

Now that I think about, the seasonal anime has strong waifus right now.

Oh damn I didn't even know they added this many new tags
Anyways, thanks for your great work!
Also get ready for people not to read your comment and ask for an update ^^'

Ok this has become a bit of a problem. The number of flags increased by 115!
So I'm thinking that a long Easter weekend is coming and then I'll have time to cover most of them.
Maybe a partial update for the most important nations. I was ready for 10-15 flags not over a hundred!

The surefire way to update if it didn't work automagically:
1. unsubscribe from the mod
2. Wait for steam download to complete
3. Start the EU4 launcher, check mods, it should not appear in the list (this step is mandatory, looks like it's the launcher that cleans up unsubbed mods)
4. Exit the launcher
5. Subscribe to the mod
6. Wait for steam download to complete
7. Start the EU4 launcher, check mods, it should appear in the list. Enable if it was disabled.
8. Enjoy

Ok in theory the update is live. This new mod system is confusing to put it lightly.
You might need to unsub/resub to get it to work.

You're a godsend Deimios. <3

Ok, 53 new flags. This will take a while.

Yep, got a small stash of waifus on stanby, I'll get home from work in around 3 hours then I'll start making flags.

@Jolc3r I work on flag file level so I cover all flags irrespective if they exist, are formable or even if they are unobtainable normally (like the Synth flag)

Bunch of new tags added as well as formables btw. Not sure if you intend on adding to those.

Do you intend to update this mod any further?

Well I'm not sure how the audience would react. Though I got to admit in a mod about waifus Speedwagon and Astolfo should be included.
Maybe if some epic tags emerge that warrant bringing out the big guns.

Would be 10/10 but no speedwagon so 0/10

Character lists are linked in the description. As a habit I prefer waifus from current anime season so unless some patch introduces 100+ flags, I'm good.

Originally I started with Sengoku Rance characters because eroge rips have nice transparent backgrounds and high-res pictures, but these days you can find anything with image search pretty easy.

Do you have characters list? Mb i can help you with new waifus from some gacha games (Like Girls Frontline or Azur Lane) if you interesting ofc

unsubbed and deleted the files then resubbed and nothing downloaded thanks steam

"something looks wrong with the downloaded files. Please contact the author of this mod."

Ok this is seriously messed up. For other modders, the new method of updating the mod is:
1. Clear your mod folder
2. Create your mod using the launcher
3. Copy the modded files into the created folder
4. In the mod tools in the upload section find the OLD NAME (the one used on steam) of the mod, not the one you used when creating the mod
5. Before uploading SAVE YOUR DESCRIPTION TEXT
6. Note that upon pressing upload the mod will be insta-published and you will not be taken to the mod page

Ok they just threw me a curve ball. They changed the way mods work. This might take a while to figure it all out again.

Well that's a pleasant surprise. Nexusmods indeed supports EU4.
I'll see how bad the workshop delays are when the next patch hits, then make any necessary adjustments.

[f] Steam workshop's potential, we hardly knew ye. The Nexus and LL both host EU4 mod communities if you're looking for alternatives.

Oof. Maybe you can set up a manual download link on MEGA or something so you can upload the newest version there?

I'll try my best but I've heard disturbing news that might affect us in the future.
Looks like mods will need moderator approval before publishing. For each update.
This might mean LONG delays before a new version gets published. If it gets published at all.

This is good stuff chief, come back to play EU 4 every now and then, and always glad to see this mod is still going. Absolutely vital that I have my animes with me.

Thanks for your work my man!

Well done. Since the flag is from the original mod, please comment on their forum as well.

I was researching again and found one of the missing originals waifus. https://www.zerochan.net/1536645

Here's the waifu for Provence, she is an orignal pixiv girl, Din't even see a name for her though.

I like this mod, thank you for keeping it alive. :P

I use both. I dont like the flags in WU (the square blocky ones) and a lot of tags dont have replacements. I do like the events and other stuff in it.

It's just a shitpost, I don't harbor any hate towards you guys and I know the person who actually made it doesn't either. Good luck with the mod

We should unite against the anime haters and not fight amongst ourselves
Don't let stuff like that get you down Deimios. You're doing gods work here ^^

I am impressed and flattered that somebody actually took the time to make that image.

In regards to the message: point taken, however as I cannot dedicate enough time/energy to fix the problems I will keep on with the current way of doing things.

Also I have a policy of not changing old flags, especially the ones for notable nations, I won't go back on the Frankenchubby era flags to fix problems.

Happy to have other passionate anime mods and fans out there.

Sardinia-Piedmont and The Palatinate are the same waifus, both are Weiss Schnee to be more specific.

Looks like the old mod had a lot of Steins Gate waifus. I will try and fix duplicates but I can't promise a fixed timeframe being holidays and all that.

Just noticed this now, but seems like Pomerania and Majorca share the waifu as well, Moeka Kiryu. I'm quite certain about it, Pomerania being from anime in assault suit and Majorca from VN in normal suit.

After scouring the net looking for the character for Armenia and using Bing of all search engines I found these 2 images from some sort of digital card game called Gang Road.

https://static.zerochan.net/Meito.Meiri.full.1913992.jpg

Supposedly the characters name is Meito Meiri. Though goolge search results pretty much just bring up these 2 pics on pinterest.

Hmm google image search has failed me.

Hey, does anyone know who Armenia is supposed to be? I searched the old list and some of the old reddit posts but no one posted who Armenia is.
