Description
This is a modified version of the mod: Alternative Faction Flags & Colours & my 2nd version of the original mod.

I love the custom flags/banners that is used in that mod so i decided to incorporate those assets in my mod with new faction colours!

Most the credit of this mod goes to the mod author Jaymis. A link to the original mod author's page is below for reference:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Status of this mod as of 06/28/2023:

I could just retire and call this mod complete this mod is very much playable and in a good state as of today, however the long term plan is to overhaul the flags and colors of 20 minor factions. Many if not all of the major playable factions have unique flags and close to matching unit uniforms thanks to the original mod author Jaymis, though i do plan to revisit this again to fine tune as i have made changes. Keep an eye out for more factions to be completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod changes the Faction Flags & Colours for all 24 playable factions in the Base Game (+ Mandate of Heaven, A World Betrayed) and a few minor factions. New flags coming for more minor factions in 2023!

Flag re-designs: A (*) next to the faction means it was added in 2023 by Lotus Eater

This mod also changes starting minor factions colours to match their flags main colour when you zoom out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility:

I use this mod in my TROM + TUP + ROTK themed collection so it should be compatible with most mods. Any mods that edit flags, faction colours, or faction uniform colors may not mix well together. This mod technically has small conflicts with TROM + TUP as either the TROM mod or the TUP + TROM mod edits factions like Han Sui. I will look into either deleting my tables to making it 100% fluid or making a patch if those authors approve. My mod does still work with the TROM + TUP mods despite the couple tables over lapping.

This mod does not work well with Radious part 1 since Radious edits some of the same tables. I have created a patch that would allow my mod to work with Radious but would need their permission to upload.

I use this mod near the top of my load order but i believe this is a relatively friendly mod in terms of playing nice. You could probably put this mod near the bottom of the load order and still have it work fine, i just put mine near the top since other collections typically have the original version of this mod near that position.

Two collections in particular made by mod author Beans, has the original version of this mod near the top of the load order just after inter objects sandbox mods. I would suggest following that lead but again, it should be relatively compatible with most mods. Please report any issues or if you have requests im open to suggestions, thanks!!!

Sorry to bother, but I like the recolor mod so I have to ask, any chance you could give a go on the "General use faction color instead of class colour" functionality?

@Matthew39 Im in the same boat as you, im still rather raw with my modding skills. Currently struggling with an audio mod lol.

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you!

I’m still new to Total War modding, but I envy recolour mods and yours is the best one so far for 3K, so it inspired me to try it myself :)

@Matthew39

I just used the paint app that installed with windows. It appears it's actually a Microsoft based app.

I ended up using it mainly to decipher the numbers i needed to put into RPFM to create the color i was looking for.

Here is a link to the app description:

@Lotus Eater23

May I ask you what paint app have you used?

I’m working on a recolour mod for Pharaoh Dynasties, but unlike Shogun 2 or Warhammer 3, RPFM for it doesn’t support colour previews, so I have to type the values somewhere else to even know how it will look.

I’ve already gotten recommended this, but wonder if there are any alternatives:

@candidos14 I opened the database.pack PACK file in RPFM and went to db > faction_tables > data_

Once there i just edited primary color red, green, and blue numbers tables. I tested out the colors by inputting the numbers into a paint app.

I was told that when re naming or overwriting a table, make sure you use the underscores. So for example, i named my custom table as this: faction_tables > LotusColors_

Notice how i didnt have a space between Lotus and Colors. I think if you do a space, use an underscore instead or it might not work properly.

I hope that helps, feel free to respond here and ill try and reply :)

Hi guys, im a bit late in some responses so ill do my best to back track.

@AC Unfortunately i did not get their permission to upload a submod, at least from what i can remember. I had asked about it and do not recall any response

@AutarchSpar09 Thats a pretty spiffy campaign you got going there! It looks like in the screenshots that you restored the Han empire in the Fates Divided campaign. Super cool! Anyways in regards to the faction color, any idea where i can find the table in RPFM to modify faction color? I have an idea as to how i can correct that issue but TBD on the fix for now.

@Lotus Eater 23 Hi, I was wondering how did you manage to mod the map colours? I am trying to change that for some factions by editing the factions table but nothing happens, thanks for your help.

@Lotus Eater23 Noticed this visual bug that when you restore the Han Empire only the flag changes but not the faction colors on both the campaign map and battlefield:
