Great mod!

Does it still work?

So do 1.36 break this? Cause they change the UI of the game this time round.

Basically required to play the game

... but for* custom flags ...

Also for txt.shader, I see that you use the formula
cantonCoord = v.vTexCoord + v.vTexCoordFlag * zoomFactor;
A general formula would be
int2 FlagsPerRowAndColumn = ...; // (16,16), (10,4), or (10,2)
cantonCoord = v.TexCoord + v.vTexCoordFlag / FlagsPerRowAndColmun;
For regular flags, FlagPerRowAndColumn is always (16,16) so your zoomFactor of (1/15,1/15) is quite close, but but custom flags, I have implemented, for a personal mod, a function that returns (10,4) or (10,2) — Vanilla values — which could be useful for your PixelShaderFlagTextColorColony::main.

Hi, can anyone tell me if this also works with custom nation flags?
I know that the texture coordinates of the pattern are treated by the shader as they would be for any regular flags, but I think that the symbol is just another layer, added after the masked flag and before the overlay.

this is maybe the best flag mod in the game

can comfirm this and sulphur's graphics are incompatible

little update if you are curious, somehow sulphur's graphic pack did not disable during my trouble shooting, so that is what was causing the issue, as far as i can tell they edit some of the same shaders

@yard1 not sure why it's acting up with me lol, I singled it down to your mod causing me the issue. weird but glad it works for everyone else. I'm gonna try a fresh install and maybe that will fix the issue

It works fine for me @yard1. Thanks for this mod btw.

@Koltwilly there are no differences in the files this mod modifies between the updates, and everything looks fine to me in-game. Maybe it's some other mod causing this for you :(

@Koltwilly thanks, will take a look

after the most recent update breaks the unit sprites for every nation. Will prob need an update unless i am just unlucky lol

Works great in Anbennar Steam and BitBucket if anyone was wondering. Lowkey the best mod for any colonial playthrough. <3

I've been looking for a mod like this for ages, i love this, it's perfect.

Nice mod, seems to work perfectly fine on the 1.32.01_beta patch.

I'm not sure why but this mod is crashing me when I try to start a game with it enabled.

literally unplayable without this mod

Would it be possible to remove revolutionary flags and keep your original flag?

It should

This mod still work?

@Bullet Here you go ; ) (bonus : other patterns )
I'll try to make a mod out of that this weekend.

@Hutama @Bullet I think one could try to make country-specific patterns by checking what sort of colors are used and then changing the pattern based on that (as I think revolutionary flags have all unique color combinations). Ofc that won't work with mods that change those.

@Malvagor looks great, good luck with that!

@Malvagor This looks really nice ! Maybe you can make use of the patterns used for custom flags (Europa Universalis IV\gfx\custom_flags\pattern2.tga)

@Bullet Btw, this file is the one where the game takes the revolutionnary flag pattern, by shifting the flag coords in the code it would be possible to make it use the horizontal one by default instead.

@Yard1 I haven't finalised the designs but it's essentially using a combination of the parent country color and the colonial region color to create a pattern in the remaining 3 quadrants, because I loved the idea of having cantons but the resultant flags felt a bit plain. Here's an example of what I've managed so far: link [imgur.com]

Feel free to add me if you want to talk about it :)

@Malvagor Sure. What are you planning on doing?

Hi, I love the mod and the shader manipulation you did!

I was actually poking around in the mod files because I found the resulting flags still too plain and managed to give the flags different patterns in the remaining space (e.g. stripes, divisions, etc). Since I used your code as a base, do you mind if I make an extended version of this mod? With credits of course :)

@Bullet I belive so, though it would affect all revolutionary flags, unless someone tries some crazy workarounds.

best mod flag ever in here. I always mildly infuriated with the vanila's colony flags. Thank you

@Hutama Hey, great work! I thought one needed to edit the flag mesh itself, but looks like I was wrong. I will add you to my steam friends so we can talk this over, alright?

Hi, first of all congrats for this mod, this is an excellent idea.

I messed around with the shader files and found a way to make the canton effect work for both the 3d province flags and the small flags in the UI.
I made a demo mod showcasing these changes which you can find here .

You are of course welcome to integrate these changes to your mod if you want to (I will then remove mine).

I just started colonizing as Castile and man is this aesthetically pleasing. So much better than the old version, and it actually makes historical sense!

Oh sad. Thanks anyway, the mod is great otherwise ;)

That's because I can't edit those.

Hi. I noticed that the canton flags do not work on province map flags, only the top left corner (country menu).
Provinces still display the classical "two-bands" flag.

You mad lad. <3

One simple change makes colonial flags way more comprehensible. Thank you!

nicenice

YOU LEGEND.

POG you hero

They said it was impossible. They said it couldn't be done. The madlad did it!

this mod looks great, but I LAUGHED out loud when I saw your other mod

direct download please? PDX launcher is acting up

This is AMAZING! Great work!

@暮江正琦 does it work with 1.30 for you?

That's just what I was thinking about. Thanks for the mod.

wait so why isnt this the way the actual game is? lol ty

very nice falgs
