Just want to say that I also am experiencing the same no borders bug that others have described (usually certain Muslim realms with green national color on political map). I have narrowed it down to this mod, as others have. Any help would be appreciated!

What happened to the manual installation discussion? I can only install the mod with a manual download.

What is that beautiful emblem based on?

The problem with borders is in the file:
patrum_scuta_ironman\interface\coat_of_arms\coats_of_arms.txt

texture = { #1
file = "gfx\\coats_of_arms\\solo_islamic_part2.tga"
size = { x = 10 y = 10 }
noOfFrames = 93
color = 0
emblem = no
}

If we edit the line: color = 0 to color = 2, we'll fix the borders, but we'll break the muslim CoA.

I have no idea how to fix it.

Crescent & stars aren't associated with Islam in the middle ages at all. Quite the opposite in fact since many christian rulers were crowned in a mantle semis of crescents & stars : the cosmic pattern which was used to emphasize the divine aspect of monarchy, that's even why the capetians chose a semis of fleurs de lis, (symbol associated with the virgin mary) so they could be crowned in a mantle of their own arms (unlike their rivals).

It's a common design in heraldry just about anywhere in Europe (crescent & stars being possibly the single most common symbol used as decoration in the field of seals in primitive heraldry on top of that) and pretty much a universal symbol used in every culture (so the transition to emblems isn't particularly surprising). It's the first design used on croatian seals, centuries before the apparition of the checkered design (of venetian origin).

Wtf are there croatian title flags & symbols islamic?? Since when was the kingdom of cCoatia a white half moon with a yellow star above it on a blue background, and thats just as an example, seeing this theres probably other countless mistakes like that. Not criticising, just sharing my opinion, its a good mod nevertheless. I just want to play a Slavic chief without islamic flags

Doesn't this mod changes look of eastern religions coat of arms? Or I just have some sort of bug?

Nope besides using shift+click (iirc maybe it's ctrl+click ?) there's no search or go to function in the game, that is sadly something that has never been moddable.

There are numbered templates available in the download topics somewhere that help with looking for something specific (not quite sure that those are exactly up to date but still close enough probably).

Thank you friend. I downloaded the mod and it works fine for now. There are so many of new emblem. I congrulate you. Let me ask you last thing. As you can see with this mod there are more than 1000+ emblem and figure for dynasties. Is there are a short way to go beyond that emblems? Clicking by one by is so boring.

@Karaoglan43
I just checked and the provided link still works on my end. If the dropbox link really, definitely isnt working anymore on your end, I'll see if I can upload it somewhere else.

Can you share mod's direct link? I have issue with my launcher that the mods which I downloaded recently are not seen in launcher.

best mod for coa on vanilla, don't waste your money on the developers' version

any chance you can make a version compatible with HIP

Grey would be a very weird choice indeed. The sable/argent version comes from an earlier portolan. The argent/gules variant is often suspected to be a play on the name (if those even refer to Georgia which is far from being the consensus to be completely honest).

Thanks for the response, I love the mod and can't play without it, but why change it? I've been looking for any reference of a grey version but can't find any.

It is intentional yes

Is it just me or does the Georgian flag lose its red and white color while using this mod? Is that intentional?

thanks - did not know that - i prefer also the historical right ones - greetings

That would be the modern flag of Cornouaille, a 20th c. design. I simply prefered the historical arms of the counts.

Why do we have in the county of kernev - in petty kingdom of brittany 1066 - this lying crescent on the red ground? should not the vanilla one the right one? see link please

thanks for your great mod and for answering

I'll have to see if I can replicate it somehow.

@solo yea its an ironman save.

Other players are probably better placed than me to advise you on what's nice to have for an ironman game. I suppose map graphics overhauls are widely used along PS ironman from what I can gather from screenshots. That said, almost anything should be compatible since most incompatible mods would likely also prevent you to play in ironman mode in the first place.

Are there any mods I can get that would expand and be compatible with this?

At least for the first two packs, it wouldnt change anything (those are simply replaced by the mod in any case). The other two I suppose are working as intended as I never had any bug report about them.

Should I buy the dynasty shields pack or will that break this?

I dont think anything like that was ever reported before. Is it an ironman save ?

Great mod and I really love all the tiny details this adds to the game especially during the restoration of Rome. there is one small problem however where when I try to re-customize my dynasty's shield the game automatically crashes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Solo Thank you for the help

There is a direct download link on the main version's page, in the discussions. That should probably solve your workshop problems.

I am having a problem where I can subscribe to the mod, but it does not download or show up in my mod list. What do I do?

To answer your question i don't have any of the dynasty shields DLC. Only portrait packs.

Hehe okay yw (would still like to know if the DLC thing is a dead end or not btw :p)

Thank you for all the time and effort you put in investigating this issue Solo. I have a good and a bad news :) The good one is that it works today ! The bad news is that i have absolutely no idea why oO. Anyway it works now so I won't be bothering you anymore. Once again thank you for your great work and your help !

Okay thanks. I investigated the setup in this bookmark and the borders are still appearing normally on my end. That's a bit of a mistery I'll admit. The code is basically the same in both versions but my dynasty file resetting the problem when you switch version tells me it may have sth to do with vanilla's prescripted entries : three of those four are prescripted in PDX's dynasty file for their DLCs and the fourth may just be a collateral from neighbouring maybe ?
Honestly, that's a longshot as an explanation and I hardly think it will be that simple but you don't happen to have some of the DLC dynasty shields packs activated by any chance ?

Sure ! You can start with the Monarch's Journey for Harald IV for example.
On the very first day you should see something like this https://imgur.com/NqUBcZA in south of Spain (no borders between Jahwarid, Granada, Hudid and Tahirid )

Do you have any example from a bookmarked start so I can see if it's possible to replicate it on my end ?

FYI i just tried the PS regular version and it works great. No border issue.

Thank you so much for your answers Solo, unfortunately the problem is still there (even with PS as the only mod installed and activated). I noticed however that the dynasties for which borders are missing are all muslim, with different shades of green as their land color. I don't know how borders generation works but is it possible that the border is trying to look at the dynasty coat of arms to get an information (a color present in the CoA palette but missing from the border palette for example) and fails thus resulting in the border not being generated ? Please let me know if you don't care, you've done more than enough already ;)

Also, it has a different name in the launcher so you'll know which is activated

You should find it in there : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/889778308/133261369999294061/

Many thanks for your answer in such a short time ! I would gladly do a manual installation but is there a direct download for the Ironman version of the mod please ? I was only able to find the link for the regular version. Thx!

Well the problem is that something like that (user specific glitches) are very hard to fix from my side (by definition I can't fix what's not broken). There's no aspect of the map or really any graphics file other than those related to emblems that are modified by the mod. This version doesn't even have a common folder so most incompatible mod would also be ironman incompatible.

That said Steam Workshop can do weird things with mod installations at times. The direct download for manual installation will usually fix those as a workaround. Deleting the mod folder to force a redownload is also another way to adress those issues. (Another is verifying game files integrity from Steam but I remember it messing up ironman saves for someone in the past so I would not advise this one).

Hey, first of all thx for this great mod. You did an amazing job.
Unfortunately i have an issue with some borders totally absent on the map. Other mods I'm running are Novus Graphicus and BLG only. It is a question already asked by rio on the first page of the Bug Reports/Technical Issues pinned discussion but i don't think it's been answered. Any idea how i can adress the problem pls ?

If I understand you right, you're asking why pagans are using christian shields ? Well that's because it's the ironman version so they will behave like they do in vanilla (and that can't be changed, since it would modify the checksum). What mod credits are you speaking of ?

No common folder modding in ironman mode so there's none of the additionnal precoded dynasties, titles and holdings included in this one. You still have the random generation and the flag folder so basically half the mod.

The complete version includes all features but cant run with ironman mode checked while this one has only half the content but keeps the same checksum as vanilla.

@Darkstorm
Be sure to link back to the mod's main page and include the credits

what is the difference beetwen iron man version and no iron man version??

Excellent mod! I basically can't play vanilla ck2 without it. Unfortunately, it's incompatible with a few mods. Would you mind if I upload a version of this mod that is compatible with After the End Old World? and another version for an upcoming mod that i'm contributing to?
