Included in Build Flags: Additional Personal and Pirate Flags

[Pieter Boelen]

Now, I'd like to see Roxanne Lalliere with this own personal flag

Which flag?

Roxanne is only ever seen with a ship as companion, right? Companions usually fly the same flag that the player has.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Which flag?

Companions usually fly the same flag that the player has.

There is no code that allows a companion to use his own flag?

According to this screenshot, Cutler Beckett IS actually coded to show an EITC flag regardless of the player flag:

Hopefully that still works.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Which files to find this code?

Check Beckett's character init entry in the Jack Sparrow storyline folder.
That probably contains a line on his specific personal flag.

I think the same system is used for Elting in the Bartolomeu storyline as you can see:

    ch.Flags.Personal = 6;   
    ch.Flags.Personal.texture = 1;

Yep, that's it.
I forgot about Elting, but of course he would get his "Amsterdam skull flag" when he's your companion too. Now you mention it, I do remember.

No problem to use this one for Roxanne?

What is THAT!?!?

It's a female pirate flag

LOL! It's funny, that's for sure. Also very strange; never seen it before.
But we have plenty of space for pirate flags, so it can certainly be added there.
I'd suggest a white background and coloured image for a personal flag instead.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Ok for a red background?

Still pirate, isn't it? In real life, if anyone spots a black/red flag on the horizon, they probably wouldn't be very comfortable with it.

Well, that's better than.... pink

Nothing wrong with a pirate flag. I'd just suggest adding it as pirate flag then and not as personal one.
And yes, pink would be pretty bizarre. Probably also EXTREMELY period-incorrect. Maybe also politically incorrect.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Here's the red one. The file must be in RESOURCE\Textures\flags, right? But there are many files... Which one do I need to choose? Afterwards, which file I need to modify to link this flag to Roxanne?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You need to include it in one of the files in RESOURCE\TEXTURES\Flags; for pirate flags, you need to make a new one.
For personal flags, @pedrwyth adding some extra available ones recently where flags can be added.
This will be included in tonight's new EXE.
Personally I still recommend making it a pirate one, with perhaps a differently coloured one for personal.

Then there also needs to be an accompanying flag and crest file in RESOURCE\Textures\INTERFACES\Flags .
To link the flag to her in the Bartolomeu/Assassin storylines, you already found the needed code.
For a Free Play character, it is explained here: http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/custom-pre-defined-character-choices.24995/

Eventually I want to complete and update the newly added flags so they all match in quality with what is already there.
I wouldn't want anything to look out of place. If you can immediately get it all to match, that'd certainly be appreciated.

It's a mermaid with big

It's a female pirate flag

I'm not a pirate, I am a corsair. I have a letter of marque of the French authorities.

You might want to reconsider that flag. You don't want to annoy Roxanne.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Wait, there is a lot of information in your post

so, first i need to make also a personal flag (maybe this one with a blue background? or something else already in POTC and not used?)
From what I saw the Bartolomeu and Elting personal flags are into perflg2 and it seems there is a slot to add a new one. So, can I add the personal one there?

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

But, she was with Bartolomeu, who's a pirate, for some operations
