Just a little tip if you can fix it, when you play fascist Greece ( not the Byzantine path ) there is a event where you can keep Metaxas and the King or go National Socialist and abolish the monarchy, can you make it so if you go fascist metaxas you keep the monarchy flag? I'd make more sense

mongolia flag should be this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mongolian_flags#/media/File:Flag_of_the_Mongolian_People's_Republic_(1930%E2%80%931940).svg

I got it, thanks. I didn't know about those Greenland flag proposals.

@Zandrus The two coloured Greenland flags are based on generalizations of earliest proposed colour schemes for the flag, democratic and communist are just simple edits based on the older coat of arms.

@Zandrus I did this to create a consistency for West Germany having both Non-alligned and Fascist with the tricolor as I wanted to avoid for example a fascist East Germany and Non-Alliged West Germany sharing the same flags, the same goes for post civil war Germany if you go that route.
Although an Argument could be made as you said West Germany having this flag although if we talking Alt-history like the scenario I mentioned it doesn't necessarily mean that the formation of a fascist/national socialist East German state to have Remer form the party there instead of Hamelin,I think it's a good solution to the initial flag problem.

Hello, the DDR fascism flag is from the SRP party, the West German Neo Nazi party that was founded some years later after the war, by Remer.

the Fascist West Germany would make sense for having this flag!

Fascist East Germany might need another flag, considering the NDPD, it may be the Black-White-Red flag.

Why is the Greenland flag like that? I have never seen this flag used before historically.

no its a canolie

@MrBacon9669 Is a hot dog a sandwich?

does this mod lgbtq+ friendly

for this mod

does the german military dictatorship under erich raeder in gotterdamerung use the kriegsmairne flag or the regular german empire flag

@Torquemado Updated the democratic flag to the Ikurrina, I left non-alligned as there's no separate cosmetic tag for Navarre/Monarchist like with Catalonia > Aragon although I could change it for sake of accuracy.
However I could not find any info/flags for Fascist or Nationalist aligned Basque only the Franco era Navarrese flag although that could also be changed to the Ikurrina if wanted as it's not an egregious/inaccurate change.

Basque country has the Navarra flag. Correct flag is the Ikurriña. (Spain)

@donald.grape There are various other flag mods and even vanilla if you want cooler/anachronistic flags, the aim of this mod is to be as objective to history as possible regardless of any preferences.

Understanding the history does not make it less hideous. Maybe you could somehow separate the bird from the waves? I mean, come on, it doesn't have to be 100% historical.

@donald.grape I changed because from what I could find the Zambia flag was adopted from the UNIP which didn't exists earliest until 1959, and there where no flags adopted by the Northern Rhodesia Congress so the closest I could get to a non-anachronistic flag was making one based of the emblem of Northern Rhodesia similar to what KR does the only alternative I could do is just use the actual blue ensign flag they used but that would lack context if they where independent or subject of another nation than Britain.

Could you change the flag of Zambia? It's hideous. I would go with the default design.

The facist Netherlands flag should be as in the orginal game. Orange, white, light blue. (prinsenvlag) Before 1937 it was debated the dutch flag should be either red,white, blue or orange, white, blue. (democratic) But facist Netherlands is for certain orange, white, light blue.

@Dashan9301 This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile but put off assuming Paradox would add a scripted effect that set a cosmetic tag for Britain without Ulster and then adding the flag for that so there's still the communist flag for Britain with Ulster/Ireland for any potential alt-history scenario, but given that people having been asking for that feature for 6-7 years I doubt it will get it added so I'll just add the flag without the saltire to the mod to prioritize accuracy.

Please remove Saint Patrick's saltire from the communist Britain flags, a communist government in Britain would not support occupation of Ireland and their flags would represent that. Other than that, looks like a decent mod that from my limited knowledge tries to address historical inaccuracies in the base game.

@Zandrus I usually just search in the code for them for example "Set Cosmetic Tag" that's also useful as often the tags they use for flags and localization is often wrong and doesn't match the ones in the code

That's good. how can I find the new country cosmetic names?

Also working a new flag preview for all in list also touch up other preview images perhaps

Mod updated for new DLC all flags added updated also added some lacking from vanilla cosmetic tags likely will be only mod on the workshop that does for awhile same with cross ideology cosmetic tags again.
Country names should be soon just gotta add the cosmetic names and then done.

Update: Its now fixed.

Noted

@Zandrus Fix is just ensure the flags are actually uncompressed as said before if I didn't and sometime slipped up the flags would still work guessing though something changed with a smaller patch, kinda annoying cause whilst 99% of them are uncompressed doing all the flags for abstract nations/cosmetics and then the medium and small variants can get monotonous that sometimes if GNU decides to enable compression it's easy to forget to disable it.

I released and puppeted them after winning the war in Ethiopia as historical Italy, for context.

Whats the fix for the GNU issue then?

@Zandrus nvm figured it out GNU automatically sets compression on when exporting and prior when doing it if a flag was compressed Hoi4 would still use the flag, I'm guessing at some point very very recently something has messed it so where it has to be uncompressed no matter what.

@Zandrus In the game what was the context for Harar like how did they exist and become Fascist, trying to narrow down if any hidden code might set a random cosmetic tag that messes with the flags.

Update: I deactivated this mod and with the vanilla flags, the Harar Fascist flag does pop up in all its formats.

Something is definitely off.

Yeah, it must be an error on my end, but I have no clue what it might be

@Zandrus I just checked in game and no placeholder flag for Harar, I even tried messing around with puppeting and setting potential ideology cosmetic tags but still no placeholder one.

I uninstalled and redownloaded it, Harar still has the placeholder flag. I have no other flag mod active. No idea what could be causing this.

Should I uninstall and redownload this mod? I didn't touch Harar at all

@Zandrus No bug, there should be no placeholder files left over unless you've copied the flags initially from base game as I do not use them if there are any should be fine anyway as all 4 ideology tga files will always overwrite them.
Also for the RSI flag it still uses the coat of arms as it can be formed by the alternative Facist paths with the Monarchy still and lacks a global/country flag to differentiate if Italy is a Republic the code so there's no way to switch between the two in Vanilla/Ironman compatability, I also tend to avoid the common flags for the RSI as the heraldy was very simple and all actual state/national flags contain no imagery at all.

I found a bug, there is a "placeholder" flag despite there being a HAR flag in the Alpine Flag mod files. What is going on there?

Hello XanderWalrus, I was wondering if the Greater Italy flag, under the fascism tag, will be changed to a flag without the Savoy Heradlry? Perhaps like the flag used by the Italian National Republic?

if not, I can modify my own game files myself to do it that way, might need some help on that probably though.

@Mithridatist Thanks for letting me now it should be hopefully be fixed now.

Hey wanted to report a bug, for the flag of fascist Nordic Union, the small and medium flags are different for the units. But other than that, loving the mod! @XanderWalrus

thanks for this mod. the vanilla tsarist russia flag pissed me off sooo much.

Very cool, I didn't know that. I have no clue if it can be coded like Germany (to change from the Sparta-Weimar combo flag to the DDR one for example), this flag to the one we know today of the DPRK . Will that have to be a thing on PDX's end if it can be iron-man mode?

@Zandrus The flag is that which was used by the Communist Party of Korea and variants by numerous Korean movements in the 30's and 40's prior to the adoption of the flag of the DPRK

Also a cool related Reddit post featuring numerous pictures including the older flag

Hello Xander, my friend, I am wondering why the Korean flag under the Communist Tag is different and why the swirls are different between each, I'd love to know more.

@Wilhelm Sorry for late reply also don't feel like attacking with comments I always appreciate potential feedback that can help improve the mod as for the flag I like the idea but I prefer as my other comment said to keep the 1863 flag with it being more modern and with the Ruthenian cores and Intermarium concepts of the time I personally find it more fitting, although if the PLC had a unique tag for if formed by Friedrich Christan/Mindaugas as they have the claims or even perhaps just Monarchy in general I would definitely use the 1831 flag as then it would truly be the PLC.

@Dimitri86 For the Swaztikas I was more so referring to nations, parties and ideologies that did not really use them within the context of Fascism and National Socialism as the VFP did use them in symbolism I find it contextually fitting as opposed to say Austria or Finland who lacked any sorts of Swaztika imagery yet typically are given them by alt-history flag makers.
As for the DDR flag I kept it in if East Germany is formed but as for normal Germany used the common alternative of the KPD symbolism as the DDR's flag and heraldry was formed in 1959 with the context of the cold war and a divided Germany which I find unfitting for the various potential sceraios of a unified communist Germany in HOI4 under KPD not SED leadership.

this mod looks really good. i just have 2 issues i want to address. 1. you literally said "dont add useless swaztikas" and continued to do so for the russian facists. and 2nd there was no need to change the Communist German flag as the one that was in game was the flag of the GDR (that one communist germany that existed once)

going back to my question about PLC flag i think that flag of the november uprising from 1831 will fit better as the flag used is based of the january uprising from 1863 i think that the first flag will fit better because this is polish-lithuanian commonwealth and on the flag used the ruthenian coat of arms is present among the polish and lithuanian ones( i dont want to attack you by this comment i just want to suggest my idea because i really like this mod and this PLC flag just dont fell like it belongs) i will be gratful for considering my idea
