Formats confirmed to work so far are png, dds and tga. Making a new pattern or emblem Patterns Īll patterns consist of 256x256 images with a maximum of three colors. Note that all values in HSV colours are out of 1, while all values in RGB colours are out of 255.Ĭolours defined here can also be assigned to directly to countries in script to change their colour on the map (using the change_country_color = COLOUR command) The entries are made in either HSV or RGB format. Named colors can be found in the /common/named_colors/ folder.Ī new one can be made by adding another file in this folder with entries like so: Templates for randomly generated flags are wrapped in a template = This includes most countries at start, as well as all those dynamically generated over the course of the game (unless they are assigned a pre-scripted flag through script). Randomly generated flags are used for all countries that do not have a pre-scripted flag. This is used to specify a textured emblem to be placed on the flag This part is not required and multiple can be used. This is used to specify a colored emblem to be placed on the flag This color is not required and is only used on patterns which have three colors. The color used for the white in the pattern file This color is required, since it also colors the armor on the units ingame. The color used for the yellow in the pattern file This color is required, since it also colors the folds on the flag. The color used for the red in the pattern file Is not required, will be solid red if not specified.

The pattern used, refers to a file in game/gfx/coat_of_arms/pattern Note that this can be done completely separately from changing a country's tag and (map) colour. In addition, a pre-scripted flag can always be assigned to any country in script by using the change_country_flag = KEY command in country scope (regardless of whether or not it was or is currently also assigned to a particular tag). If a flag's key matches that of a tag, then it will be automatically be used as that country's flag (in this example, ETR is the tag for Etruria, so this flag will be used for Etruria), but this is not necessary.

For example:Įvery pre-scripted flag must have a name/key. In vanilla, all pre-scripted flags are defined in common/coat_of_arms/coat_of_arms/00_pre_scripted_countries.txt. The images for the actual emblems and patterns used in flags are located in game/gfx/coat_of_arms with different folders for patterns, colored emblems and textured emblems. By default, they are organized into different files for prescripted flags and templates for randomly generated flags. Flag scripting (for both pre-scripted flags and autogeneration patterns) is located in game/common/coat_of_arms/coat_of_arms.
