Hoover's Fun with Flags

When I was a child my ex navy grandfather used to talk about the ole battle ensign and it's importance, well I've decided to heed his words, channel my inner geography nerd and do some touching up of flags while I'm here.

This mod goes and updates the "Nations Override" list in the mission editor to include both civil and naval flags and add a few nations into the game that weren't working before.

***In some news, Fun with flags no longer requires Sealifter, though I still highly recommend giving that project a go as many other textures can be used to further improve the fun to be had.***

The full list of changed nations are as per below:

Soviet/Soviet Navy
United Kingdom/Royal Navy
Thailand/Royal Thai Navy
South Africa/South African Navy
Singapore/Republic of Singapore Navy
Philippines/Philippine Navy
North Korea/Korean People's Army Navy
New Zealand/Royal New Zealand Navy
Myanmar/Myanmar Navy
Jordan/Royal Jordanian Navy
Japan/Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force
Italy/Italian Navy
Israel/Israeli Navy
India/Indian Navy
Finland
Egypt/Egyptian Navy
East Germany/East German Navy
Cuba
China/People's Liberation Army Navy
Canada/Royal Canadian Navy
Belgium/Belgium Navy
Australia/Royal Australian Navy
Indonesia
Malaysia/Malaysian Navy
Morocco/Moroccan Navy
Oman/Omani Navy
Qatar
Taiwan
Türkiye
Nigeria

Austria/Austrian Navy (landlocked I know but for the alt history fans out there)

NEW UPDATE!

Another flag list update. The following new flags posted, I hope I'm running out now.
Bangladesh/Bangladesh Navy
Barbados/Barbados Navy
Brunei/Royal Brunei Navy
Djibouti
Ireland
Kenya
Papua New Guinea
Peru/Peruvian Navy
Cambodia
Senegal
Serbia and Montenegro/Serbia and Montenegrin Navy (1992 - 2006 country)

Some of the nations have been changed so that all the countries now sort alphabetically a bit nicer.
So now countries will look like this:
Australia (Royal Australian Navy)

instead of out of alphabetical order.

This takes the faction count up to 174! crazy.

I'm also working on a texture overlay to make the flags look a bit nicer. Watch this space

Apologies, I am by no means the expert on these flags, so if there's an issue feel free to message me and I'm happy to adjust. Apologies if your nation is missed in this first list. I promise more are on the way! If anyone wants any particular nations added, also yell out ... politely.

The only nations that are inaccurate as so far as I can tell are the Scandinavian navies that like to use swallowtail and tongue flags that I won't be able to get working without tuning up my blender skills so people will have to wait for that unless a volunteer wants to make me a mesh.

If you want to use my mods in your own mods the ships\materials\textures folder has the textures, I'd just copy that structure into your mod folder and use the same path in your ship_variant.ini files. Sing out if you get lost.

NOTE: The country names in the mission editor actually get loaded when you start the game, and are not loaded in the mod refresh. So if you care about pretty names e.g. Belgian Navy as opposed to belgium_navy, then just restart your game after loading the mod. Not much I can do about that one.

Have fun all!

------------------

There does seem to be a bug affecting some ships that just won't allow you to overwrite the flag on those specific ships, (Iranian La Combattante is an example), I have released a fix as an interim until the game makers fix it, check out Hoover's Flag Fixes Mod in the workshop.
