Old Banners and Colours

Description
Made this on request, restores the old banners and colours from before the Furious Wild DLC patch.

I've made a special old-style square flag for Shi Xie, Liu Yan/Zhang and their civil war counterparts.

This mod includes all the triangle banners NPC factions had as well, including a new ones for Qu Pan/Jiuzhen, Liaodong, Xiapi, Yongchang, and Yunnan since there weren't preexisting ones - and of course their civil war counterparts.

The restored emperor Liu Xie's banner will be the MOH 182 Liu Hong/Empress He banner since the Han Empire banner normally assigned is now an NPC triangle. I might modify it in the future to be distinct, or do a submod.

Feel free to use this mod as a base for mods customising old-style banners going forward, and also feel free to do pretty much whatever you want with the mod - upload your own tweak on it, share it around, I really don't mind.

Obviously the Nanman will have their own vanilla style regardless.

There's no way around it now - this mod is large, and will have to remain large, since CA removed a lot of the assets for these banners in the Fate Divided patch, which this mod now need to add back in by itself.

Submods

I'll be providing split versions of my Lü Bu mods, one set designed for this style, and one designed for the new banners:
Old Banners: Lü Bu Trailer Submod
Old Banners: Lü Bu Trailer Banner and Inverted Uniform/Map Colours Submod

By request, alternate colours for Shi Xie to match his new style colours he got when he was made playable:
Old Banners: Alt Shi Xie Submod

And also by request, his old triangle style banners:
Old Banners: Triangular Shi Xie Submod

Additional thanks

Many thanks to Belisarian for helping me sort out a problem with the custom battle banners.

Many thanks to Janet On Occasion for providing beautiful screenshots of Shi Xie's battlefield flags.

Valentines day update! for the romance of it of course. After a couple years I have finally done all the Fates Divided NPC factions, as well as fixed Shi Huang's character being the wrong Shi, the Looters using new YT banners, and a few other little bits and bobs.

I think I overlooked a few flags in the 197 start, but otherwise all should be changed. Only three factions change flags when becoming emperor to my knowledge, anything else is a mod, I think.

I noticed that some factions in the campaign still had the 1.6 flags while had the old banners in the custom battle. Maybe they're not completely changed? Plus after claiming as emperor, flags don't change for some factions. But I agree that the flags after 1.6 look so ugly

I can take a look tomorrow and see if I can find anything.

I see, yeah I am having issues with my flag change mod. Once they hit emperor all their flags change, except the faction overview icon where you can see a bobblehead and the flag behind it. For some reason it refuses to change.

I'm actually not 100% sure in 3K - in Rome2 and Warhammer it's for battle unit banners and army banners. 3K doesn't have quite the same thing since it uses icons in battles and textures for campaign armies. But someone filled in the table and kept it updated for every single 3K update so at a guess I'd think that some of the ui banners at least partially use it. By all means experiment to try and fine out - I didn't want to risk leaving it out of the mod and finding some oversight later on.

Hello! A question, if I may.
What does the "faction_banners_tables" actually do?
sEcOnDbOuToFiNsAnItY  [author] Jan 18, 2022 @ 6:51am 
Those mods would likely need submods to make them compatible with mine, or otherwise playing with the mod order. If anyone wants to, they have permission to make any submods necessary, but I don't have the time or inclination to do it myself.
