Help me with flag thing...

Well I played US vs. Russia 2007 and then I noticed that. I think that some of mods (which I earlier installed into MBT, Cold War perhaps?) caused this... I thought that I was backup original files into another place but those flag files (battle or/and batbut.shp?) seem not been there... And all 3 patches are installed in order since beginning.

So you installed the Cold War mod over the v2.51 and then upgraded the game right over it?
Or have you uninstalled the mod before installing the V3, using the CWM_RC0.1_restoredefaults.exe file?
This exe is designed to replace all the modified flag files (plus names, ranks, picklists etc.) with the original v2.5 ones.
Tell me if you have run it and you have still problems with the flags, that means a bug in the mod.

If you haven't run it prior to installing the V3 patch, the flag files are battle.shp, icon0095.shp, and icon0097.shp.
Run the uninstaller above or manually overwrite these files with backup versions.

Warning! backup the picklist files "PK012000.DAT", "PK012001.DAT", "PK012002.DAT" before running the RC0.1 uninstaller over the V3 game!
Better yet, run the uninstaller in a new folder and then copy only the .shp files into your game directory.

I'll post an updated V3-friendly version of the mod soon.

Ok. Thanks Plasmakrab about advices! I could try that CWM...exe-file at first when I come back home later

and backup those picklist files at first. I will back to this topic if needed.
