Default Re: What flags would you like to see most in SEV?

I'm just rambling...I have no idea where they go...

After further review this is what I've gleamed...

There are two places that have flags. There is a Picture/Flags Folder with 15 race flags, and 12 Alliance Flags. There is the Empires folder with 14 Stock Empires with 14 flags and 14 portraits, 10 Neutrals with 10 flags and 10 portraits, and 1 default with no flag or portrait.

This leaves us with a total of 51 stock flags, and 24 portraits between two different areas. I would assume that any extra flags would go into the Pictures/Flags folder. These are with out any connection to a empire folder or portrait. These means that there is something wrong in the simulator code somewhere. Which of course you have already pointed out, yet I dont think it has to do with the fact that there are flags without portraits, just in how the simulator finds the flags, and portraits.

NOOooo don't put flags empire flags in teh flag folder! that's for allience flags only!
(it screws up multiplayer games if you do)
I'm not sure what the race flags in teh pictures/flags folder are... I assume it's something to do with quickplay races?
anyway, ignore the pictures/flags folder.

this flags set is basicly "neutral" empires, and as such they need race portrates.
look at it again.
stock empires - 14
neutral empires 10
is 24 portrates.

I've never seen it look for defult portrates, it's probibly hardcoded not to look in this folder for portrates.

ok maybe I'm wrong...
maybe the race flags in the pictures/flags folder are where this flagset should put them. if so though, they should be named raceXX_flag_texture.bmp
if this is the case then BG did put the ayres rock flag in teh right place, and aaron forgot to get it to look for annother one if it couldn't find it.
