@battle roayle pro lol It should not conflict with that mod I think.

Tabby when?

thank god i found a fix for this, BSR had a weird thing where the German flag switched between (i think) the aussie flag.

@Norwegium
This still works just fine. Most mods should have fixed this themselves by this point though.
vent sus 23 Jan, 2021 @ 11:36am 
its outdated, do u need to update it or does it still work?

truly a timeless classic

@pourlemerrite This only fixes an issue that occurs with mods that add too many flags for the default texture to handle. In other words, this is a fix for mods that already break ironman compatibility anyway, like Kaiserreich or Millenium Dawn (though they have now incorporated this fix).

There is no ironman scenario where this mod is required.

This is not ironman compatible
Rydo 29 Dec, 2018 @ 2:27pm 
Can confirm it's Savegame compatible!
Rydo 27 Dec, 2018 @ 6:17pm 
Savegame compatible?

@Aka & potential others: Note that while following this step removes the warning, it has no functional use.

If you are using mods which require this mod to fix flickering issues, notify the creator so that they can directly incorporate this fix!
Mouseagull 12 May, 2018 @ 3:06pm 
For anyone in the future curious about removing the !, follow these instructions;

1. Go to C:\Users\USER\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod
2. Search for the out of date mod. May require a lot of this, but just "right click and edit with Notepad" until you find it.
3. Once you've found it, change the verison number from 1.4.* to 1.5.*

If this works for you, spread this info around to other mod pages that have been bombarded with pleas for an "update." Should work for any mod.
Chairman Meow  [author] 20 Mar, 2018 @ 2:32am 
@Arsta, I don't really intend to maintain this if the only changes required are changing a single number. Besides, most mods that need this fix have incorporated it themselves by now, which was the main purpose of this mod.

Which mods are you running that still require this one to fix flickering?
Chairman Meow  [author] 9 Jan, 2018 @ 12:16am 
@Kevt202 No, it still works and fixes the issue whenever a mod hasn't fixed it itself. For Kaiserreich, this is obsolete for example.

Whenever you get the flickering flags issue, this mod will fix it. If you don't have it, you don't need it.

Is this mod Obselete?
Chairman Meow  [author] 25 Dec, 2017 @ 4:45am 
@ArcticM0N5T3R This mod does not require any further updates. You can safely ignore the warning message the mod launcher gives you. If I can find some time I'll remove the warning soon-ish.
Sgt Stoner 25 Dec, 2017 @ 3:31am 
is it updated?
Chairman Meow  [author] 7 Aug, 2017 @ 7:57am 
@Rozvelius I rather suggest you state your question on https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4modding/ instead. This mod is not related to your problem thus not really the place for a discussion on your problem. Post a new thread on the subreddit and you'll probably find someone willing to help you out.
Renly 7 Aug, 2017 @ 6:23am 
Can you please try to make your version of this flag http://i.imgur.com/BRej60u.jpg and add it to Kaiserreich mod to paternal autocratcs of Junta? Maybe I doing osmething wrong.
Renly 7 Aug, 2017 @ 5:54am 
Yeah, it can be. Because my flags have size 10x7, too tga.
I don´t know, but thanks for trying to help me.
Chairman Meow  [author] 6 Aug, 2017 @ 1:44pm 
@Rozvelius, You don't really want to mess with those defines unless you know what you're doing. Considering you're only replacing flags, you shouldn't alter those at all. But if changing the width of the flag texture (which you SHOULDN'T do) works for you, there's a decent chance that your small flags are wrongly sized. The wiki said 10x7, but if the default width is 11 the wiki may be wrong on that.
Renly 6 Aug, 2017 @ 12:06pm 
NDefines.NGraphics.COUNTRY_FLAG_SMALL_TEX_WIDTH = 11
NDefines.NGraphics.COUNTRY_FLAG_STRIPE_TEX_MAX_WIDTH = 11

Bro I change this in Kaisereich files to 10, and my small flags whos up, but then all small flags of mod are blank...i don´t understand why...
Renly 6 Aug, 2017 @ 10:25am 
When I use your mod with Kaisereich, my all flags (that´s mean too small) show up, but without your mod, Kaisereich can´t load my small flags good...:-/
Renly 6 Aug, 2017 @ 10:22am 
I can maybe send you my files to look in to. I never had this problem before in modding and improving Millenium Dawn Mod for example.
Renly 6 Aug, 2017 @ 10:21am 
Yes, but problem is that they don´t wanna show.
Chairman Meow  [author] 6 Aug, 2017 @ 9:56am 
@Rozvelius, this is not something caused or solved by my mod. It just sounds like you need to make the small versions of the custom flag as well, but haven't done it yet. You need 3 versions of each flag, a standard, medium and small version (82x52, 41x26 & 10x7), it sounds like you're missing one or more of these sizes. For more info, check here: http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Country_creation#Flag
Renly 6 Aug, 2017 @ 9:23am 
Dear Author, can I ask you advice?
In Kaisereich I add some my own flags (for improvement of Mexico), everything is fine, but only small flags are not showing! I always see small normal MEX.tga flag!
I can´t use your mod, because then I don´t see all normal Kaisereich flags...Can you please help me?
Huntii 16 Jul, 2017 @ 5:47am 
IT WORKS!! Chairman Meow I love you so much!
I have been looking for a flickering flag fix for a thousand years!!

Chairman Meow  [author] 26 Jun, 2017 @ 1:36pm 
@tomasrodri, Unless you're using an outdated version of Millenium Dawn, they should have already implemented this into the base mod. I can't guarantee compatibility with mods that have already implemented this mod. If you are experiencing the flickering flags issue, contact the Millenium Dawn team.
tomasrodri 26 Jun, 2017 @ 12:42pm 
is it comaptible with millenium dawn
Chairman Meow  [author] 22 Jun, 2017 @ 9:17am 
@Mad Jack McMad, Glad to hear it's fixed for you now!
Mad Jack McMad 22 Jun, 2017 @ 5:36am 
other mods did same but it fixed for now
Mad Jack McMad 22 Jun, 2017 @ 5:36am 
i think i fixed it , just restarted the computer but hopefully it isnt like a 1 and done fix, and yes i ran it in admin
Chairman Meow  [author] 22 Jun, 2017 @ 2:52am 
@Mad Jack McMad, I'm not sure what you mean. Could you detail your issue further? If HOI4 is throwing you that error, you can try launching it as administrator. Do other mods give you the same issue?
Mad Jack McMad 22 Jun, 2017 @ 2:18am 
its keeps telling me missing file privileges
Chairman Meow  [author] 14 Jun, 2017 @ 3:17pm 
@strangedell, @donovanbruins I've incremented the version number so the warning doesn't pop up anymore.

1.4 oak
Chairman Meow  [author] 14 Jun, 2017 @ 8:43am 
@strangedell The mod shouldn't be broken, but I'll check to make sure. Should be fine though.
strangedell 14 Jun, 2017 @ 6:52am 
1.4?
怒飞 13 Jun, 2017 @ 2:06am 
I don't think that's the problem. Not only is the flag not made, the whole country is deranged, but even the flag of the nation is confused
Chairman Meow  [author] 12 Jun, 2017 @ 5:27am 
@怒飞 Sadly, this is due to a problem the mod itself has, and is out of my reach of fixing. Essentially, it's missing various small and medium versions of its new flags, thus the game retrieves the wrong one from the texture. I can't make the game show you flags that the mod creators haven't added yet.

This mod intends to fix continuous flickering when zooming. The issue with the "east asia" mod essentially only happens when going into a certain zoom level, and only with the smaller flags. They don't flicker, but get the wrong offset. The flickering was caused by a texture that was too small, forcing the game to switch between multiple ones.

So I'm sorry to disappoint, but you'll have to bug the mod creators about this and get them to add the missing flags to their mod.
怒飞 12 Jun, 2017 @ 4:59am 
After using your mod, the national flag is still deranged
怒飞 12 Jun, 2017 @ 4:58am 
MOD:east asia
Chairman Meow  [author] 12 Jun, 2017 @ 12:31am 
@怒飞 Could you elaborate? Which mod is causing issues for you? Does vanilla work fine for you?
怒飞 10 Jun, 2017 @ 2:46am 
It can't seem to solve the flag mess
Christmas1 28 May, 2017 @ 3:05pm 
ok
Chairman Meow  [author] 28 May, 2017 @ 5:38am 
@Christmas1, Please read the description. Kaiserreich has incorporated their own version of this fix. Using it together with this one is useless and unnecessary!
Christmas1 28 May, 2017 @ 5:05am 
this crashes with kaiserreich
