While spending time at the PoTBS forums i have enhanced my texturing skills, the Build mod Currently uses some of my flags, the Blue ensign, French flag, duth ect. now i have been thinking, should i or should i not redo all the flags to similar quality? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

<i>Swedish East India Company Flag</i>
 
Yeah that is awesome! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> I think you should bring them all up to that standard.
 
I'm the great supporter of tricolor flag for Spanish. That flag is more realistic for the PotC era. Yellow-red design appeared later, where Spain was ruled by Bourbon kings.

The flag you presented looks wonderfull. As far as I know swedish ships were sailng on the Caribbean, but in very small quantities. What a pity we can't make addon for PotC: change gameplay date to 1620-1632, change Caribbean Sea to Baltic Sea, and utilize that Swedish flag there - about conflict between Poland and Sweden. There player could work on Polish or Swedish side.

Only my imagination.

what do you mean we cant, its actually very possible, rename the nations, and somone to model the baltic coastlines. changing the date works as well. but the swedish East India Company wasent founded until 1731

To edit flags, you should first decompress RESOURCE\Textures\flagall.tga.tx file with TX Converter (you can download it here: <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/" target="_blank">http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/</a>. Then, you need edit a newly produced tga file with any graphical editor (for example GIMP, available <a href="http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html" target="_blank">here</a>). Overdraw 8th flag (that white with two hawks) to your preference. When you finish, convert it back to .tx format with TX Converter, using the same formats and mips number as in original (A4R4G4B4 - 16bit (4bit alpha, 12bit color), 8 mips), overwriting original file.

And the patriotic Americans! Hurrah! *Plays Star Spangled Banner*
 
might as well, the build is already inaccurate for the selected time period. during this time there arne't many pirates, lots of buccaneers but they're all friendly with the british with letters of marque and stuff, wasn't a lot of "pirates" till after the end of queen anne's war when 40,000 buccaneers were out of a legal profession with all the peace between the governments.

so i really do not see any reason why having the US navy and such would hurt anything, though if we're going for the revolutionary war to the war of 1812 period should probabally just be nothing but merchant vessels for the us side, adn then let us play the navy, considering that the us navy was very small at the time, I dunno <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> perhaps have some low level privateers and such. I was actually just thinking the easyest thing to do would be just to replace the personal flag with either old glory or the navy jack with the snake and the don't tread on me bit <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> and and add that as an optional mod, then we can choose that flag if we want to play the us navy and it wouldn't be any kind of serious trouble for anyone.

before we do that though, John pauly here needs to make the constitution or something <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

anyways just my suggestions
 
keep those yanks for the P&E mod, thank you <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
