Recently while I was working on my Global Domination add-on I added a new country (Iran) and no I did not modify any countries to insert Iran.
I made it a clone of Iraq but I want it to display the countries flag (not Iraq's of course) and the screen and what file format would i use like xxx.pcx

Welcome to Project Perfect Mod Forums. Smile

I think it's PCX, however many people have had problems when trying to add a new flag. Also, I don't know if you can get a different flag to show up for a new country (that's not replacing another one).

As far as I know, you can't. It's hardcoded.

Clazzy is really correct. Flags are hardcoded...you can find them all in game.exe (or ra2.exe... not sure) although it doesnt show the extension there, XCC confirms it's a pcx file...

Thanks for your help. Also as far as I know all flags are stored in PCX format. Though one thing that is good about RA2 is that you can add as many countries as you want but the bad thing about RA2 is that you can't add country flags only modify them (like the modification Eagle red or Sudden Strike does)

in this case, my suggestion is... be generic. Make all flags be a null .pcx file, so all sides will look the same...

How ?. Do you mean make all the countries flags all the same (like in look and appearance).

make all flags be a picture of 1x1 (something that will pratically not be seen by user), so only the names appear... Otherwise it will be weirdo to have some countries with flags and some others without it...
