Paradox released an update for EU IV which makes older cosmetic-only mods playable nearly with every version of the game. This counts for this mod also.

Got this working myself, all you need to do is change the supported version.

Go to C://User/My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/mod/

And open up the "armsspaghettisalternativeshields".mod file using a text editor such as Notepad.

Change the end of the .mod file to:
supported_version="1.14"

And it should fix it!

This looks really nice. Please update it!

I like this mod too, please update it!:ambition:

Has this mod been abandoned? I really liked it.

Didi you make an update in the meantime? The *.mod file is now completely empty and accordingly the mod doesn't work. There might be other issues as well (descriptor.mod file?).

The fix is coming tomorrow!

It's okay, it's Paradox traddition to break something with every update. :)

@Cherokee uploading to the steam workshop for EU4 is currently broken.

still doesn't work with 1.12
Sanny 9 Jun, 2015 @ 2:27pm 
Needs updated for 1.12 :)

I never really noticed how kinda crappy the shield glare looked until using this mod. Sometimes it's the little things; this is a nice change and the flags look much cleaner!

ik, I was just remembering it.

@TheBlazeX[IM] Problem is I made the mod before the huge map changes in Art of War. To update now would be a big change
AnemoneSpotted 17 Apr, 2015 @ 1:55pm 
It was the isle of Muchan, ah, I remember it
Mister Ben  [author] 16 Apr, 2015 @ 3:08pm 
@James Counsell Yes! @Voltion99 [Big Guy] has it spot on!
Pig 16 Apr, 2015 @ 12:50pm 
@James Counsell As far as I can tell this mod just alters the shield glare effect, and not the actual flags. So I'm pretty sure this mod would work for absolutely any flag or nation you can think up.
JamesC1768 16 Apr, 2015 @ 12:47pm 
Does it work for custom nations as well?

@[PURE] Gabrielen It's really something you have to see ingame. Steam Workshop upscales images to fit the preview window. Ingame, they're far nicer looking. I just prefer the look to the vanilla look.

@Arms Spaghetti hmm still flat flags look worser to me just like flat political mapmode xD maybe its just me :P
Mister Ben  [author] 16 Apr, 2015 @ 7:31am 
@[PURE] Gabrielen both images taken for the shields are taken from the vanilla flags with the change in the shield overlay which displays the shield glare. The only difference here is the opacity of that shield overlay. Any details that look 'worse' are merely because they are hidden by the higher opacity shield glare in the vanilla game.
Natriumm 16 Apr, 2015 @ 7:29am 
as i see on the pictures the "upgraded" ones have worser quality and details than the regular ones
maybe you copied wrong pictures or somethink like that?
Pheonix 15 Apr, 2015 @ 5:56am 
It's such a little change that once you download you think it is just a normal part of the game, great little addition to the game. 10/10
Mister Ben  [author] 14 Apr, 2015 @ 2:51pm 
@Sir Panda You do me too kind a justice

@MilkAndLettuce They look really shoddy under large upscaling don't then xD
MilkAndLettuce 14 Apr, 2015 @ 3:52am 
The preview pictures really do not do this mod justice. These look very nice in-game, great work!

@Neborath, the Doge of Venice Thanks! Its the look I was going for!
Neborath 12 Apr, 2015 @ 6:19pm 
I like it, it make the shields look more refined, and solid.
AnemoneSpotted 12 Apr, 2015 @ 9:42am 
I remember that island you made a long time ago, it was so awesome
Bubbiboor 12 Apr, 2015 @ 9:32am 
Thank you very much for making this! Now the shields doesn't look like somebody spilled polish everywhere. :D

Old ones are to the left, new ones to the right, correct?
