Flag

[Takeda-One]

Hey folks, what about a mod, where at least on of the flags doesn´t automatically show your Nation? Maybe its possible to give your ship a smugglerflag and those could be exchnanged into the one you like?

As far as I've seen, having your own flag in AOP is impossible <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Maybe someone on one of the other AOP forums would be able to help - although modding for the game has been basically dead from the start, other than adding new ships. AOP modding (aside from ship creation) here on PA is essentially nonexistent.

I guess you could edit the texture of the nation that you are, but everyone else of that nation would be the same... I don't think that there is a way for you to change only your flag without changing everyone elses.

 

[Takeda-One]

Right, that would be crap! Therefor I meant using the smugglers! That would be ok, if they`re having my Flag too and those are defined as a fraktion, you see?

In PotC the player can have his own flag and this was done by adding a new nation to the game, the player's own nation. Is there something like that in AoP? I imagine there should be, considering you can capture towns for yourself. After all, those towns would need to become the property of A nation after capture.

Hi,
I'd forget about the Playlogic AOP forum.....that ones had porn advertised on it for a while, so obviously nobody uses it anymore, the moderaters don't anyway, or the ads would have been removed by now.

 

[Takeda-One]

To Pieter, could you describe, how to define an own nation in your game?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It's got to do with PROGRAM\NATIONS\nations_init.c and the flagall.tga referenced in RESOURCE\INI\rigging.ini.

 

[Takeda-One]

Do you know more details? I thought in a simular way.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I don't have time to give you more details, that's for sure. Have a look at those files and see what you can figure out for yourself. If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them.

Ok thanks! PS Iam also Navy-man ;-)

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Also? I'm not a navy-man, though. I'm cruiseship-man. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

A civilian ah ha, sorry <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> , what ship? The flagall-file is a row of all flags occuring, how does the game know which is to use for which nation?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

In the case of PotC, the information for which flag to use from the texture file is in RESOURCE\INI\rigging.ini.

Civilian indeed. I sailed on the MS Zuiderdam and will got there again end July. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

 

[Takeda-One]

I´d like to find out which file (and which entry) tells the game to link the character to the nationflags, must be also somewhere in: program\scripts\flag.c ; program\nations\nations.c! Good luck for your next voyage!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Link the CHARACTER to the nation flags? Probably the pchar.nation attribute.

 

[Takeda-One]

In the characters-init file?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Think so, yes.
