Norb,

Is there any way you could add Reb Buglers Flags to the game code so we southern boys might have additional flags we can use to better find out officers in command? It would be nice just to be able to have the commander of a Brigade have the differant Flags and I don't think that one flag would make such a drain on FPS?

Sincerely,
JMayer aka. JJGordon

Looks great from the pictures, however I cant seem to activate it... any help? Thanks.
Same problem. Had successfully used v. 1. Since that download, in order to play multi-player was advised to change to SowGB102. I have the 25+ KB RAR file in my game modifications folder, but it does not show up in the game. Would that be because of 102?

Thanks

You have to extract the RAR file.

Great Job, RebBugler !

I just picked out three of them to distinguish the different ranks, I’m really not that into authenticity .

Loaded the game, and Crash-to-freaking-Desktop !

I sit here staring at the monitor, and then remembered that I didn’t put the flags into the Flag folder, just left them on the desktop. It helps to place them into the game!

Thanks, AD. I should have known that!

Now, however, while the v.3 shows in Modifications and I have checked the yellow box for applications, I still have only the normal game flags, etc.

Must be another step I have overlooked.

Thanks folks, got 3.1 about ready to go...more 'toolbar left' additions.

Davinci,

I thinking your 'added sprites' mod would be great to stack with this one. Do you see any file conflicts?

The DRF only show up in the 'User Scenarios' and the sandbox OOBs ending with DRF.

Hey, no conflict’s here, and also thanks for the simple process of adding them into the Sand-Box-Thing game. I just had to edit one file, and the OOB.

Little Powell – is working on the Uniform Mod so that should be available real soon.

Again, Great Job! – this really does add to a great game!
