Mod: New Mod: Streamers & Standards (Update v3.30)

[zepath]

Presented here is a totally reworked version of my Dominions 2 flags mod. Streamers & Standards v3.0 replaces all the national flags in Dominions 3. Check it out, read the readme file, and please let me know what you like and dislike so I can make this mod even better.

***---***

Edit by llamabeast: A further updated version, with banners for Bogarus, Hinnom, Ashdod and Gath, can be found here. Hope you don't mind me sticking this here Zepath.

CHANGES FOR v3.30:

-New Early Ages nation Fomoria given a new flag
-New Late Ages nation Pythium Serpent Cult given a new flag
-Includes flags for Tir-na-Nog and Eriu created by Sombre

CHANGES FOR v3.12:

-New Early Ages nation Lanka given a new flag

CHANGES FOR v3.11:

-Late Ages Pangaea given a revised flag with more color and carrion vines

CHANGES FOR v3.1:

-Pangaea's flags revamped with new art thanks to the suggestions of Zen
-Late Ages Ulm given a new icon depicting an armored fist grasping a blood red crescent thanks to an idea Nerfix put forward (I forgot to mention that in the readme...)
-T'ien Ch'i's flags given a darker salmon color (also at Zen's suggestion)
-Serpents on Early and Late Ages C'tis flags given a higher contrast to make them more visible
-Early Ages Abysia given a new icon depicting the flaming fist of the Anointed of Rhaux

Very nice zepath!

ALL of the flags? All 79 of them? I would really like the empty slots to have a unique default flag and a nation name. Im beginning to think I might have to look at modding one of my own (which would be really crappy)

[zepath]

Ok, not 79 of them. I can't even identify these "79 nations". The mod only covers the playable nations in all three eras that are available in the v3.00 release of Dom3 -- for a total of 59 flags plus the indie flag. One thing I'm wondering is how to get custom GUIs to work in Dom3. The commands I used for the GUI portion of this mod in Dom2 do not seem to work. Can anyone enlighten me as to what has changed? I'd love to incorporate custom GUIs for each of the nations as well.

Wow, these are really nice. I especially like EA Jutonheim, EA Marverni, EA Tienchi, MA Man, and ofcourse the quote from "The apology of Socrates". That is where the quote is from correct? Right after they sentence him to death?

[zepath]

Right before he quaffs the hemlock I believe. I kept seeing the bearded dude .tga file in my browse window while editing the images for the flags and thought he ought to be saying something while sitting there all disembodied and classically featured. He just looked like a Socrates, y'know?

Anyway, I'm glad you liked 'em! If any of the flags seem too garish or out of place, lemme know. It's always a work-in-progress.

Here is a list of all 79 if you want it.

Those blanks at the end are for modders to fill in their nations without having to knock one out of the game but they still show up in my crazy games. The messages look funny when the province has no name and it says something like "the pretender of has been eliminated". I probably will do one of my own so I can have some fun with the names of the fodder-fill slots.

Just wanted to say that I loaded this one up and it is awesome. The banners are so much better! Who'd have thought that such a random upgrade would be so cool?

Thanks for making these!

[zepath]

Thanks for the list Gandalf. I snagged the entire contents of your /docs folder for reference! Again, many thanks.

Stryke11, glad you dig the flags!

[Nerfix]

I also like them. I especially like the progression of the flags over the age. Say, do you take requests? A mod or two I am working on could use a flag...
