Change USMC flag to USA flag

Simicro · #1 August 31st, 2013, 06:50 PM

Hi,

I want to change the USMC flag to USA flag.

I was thinking of finding the USMC flag and overwriting it with the USA flag.

I browsed the game folders and only found a USA flag in:

C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT\Game Data\Pictures\Interface\Flags

Why bother ? If you want the official flag just set up the game as the US Army then buy all the troops from the USMC OOB as "allies"

It's because I play Scenarios (not Battle).

So I guess that there is no easy way (eg: overwriting files) to replace the USMC flag by the USA Army flag when playing scenarios.

Simicro,

The file you need to change is:

Icon0097.shp

Which can be found here:

WinSPMBT\Game Data\Graphics

The US and USMC flags are icons 13 and 14 within the Icon0097 shape file.

This post here should explain how to do it:

Let me know if you get stuck.

The process sounds a bit complicated at first, but once you understand it, it's quite easy and should only take a couple of minutes.

Great! Thank you Cross. I will try and keep you informed!

I tried several times and finally succeeded.

However by trial and error I found that I had to stop at step#7.

Because if I go beyond step#7 the replacement of USMC Flag by USArmy flag does not work.

Positioning icons (steps 8 - 12) can be a tricky business.

Sounds like you were fortunate that your new icons were already positioned correctly, so didn't need adjusting; which is rare, most modded icons require steps 8 - 12 be completed.

Fortunate because I replaced a flag of the game by another flag of the game. I did not create any new flag

Please help me with one last question.

Do you know how I can change the flag on these 3 game screens.
