Newspapers

Post by Whippy »

Hi all, I am not sure if this has been asked or not, I did a search and did not find any answers.

I am wondering if it would be at all possible to change the newspaper from the Harpers Weekly to The Charleston Mercury for when you are playing as the rebels?

I don't much like playing as the rebels, but I still think it would be cool! lol

thanks

I guess..... you will have to edit the file with something such as Photoshop \ Gimp .

It is a dds file that is found in your Base \ Graphics \ Screens folder.

Save the original just in-case something goes wrong.

The file is called Screen_End_Battle.dds .

You could include that as a one file mod very easily. It would show up regardless of which side you are playing though.

The Arkansas Gazette will be coming soon. Only one prob though, with the new patch, replays won't work if the end screens are modded. Still, I'll be working for a solution, because us Southern folks need our own local headlines. Kinda weird when General Lee wins a major battle and Harpers Weekly out of New York touts it as Major Victory. :whistle:

Yah, that was the problem. I figured I could find the file and edit it easily enough, but I was wondering if it is possible to have a different newspaper for the rebels than for the army of the republic. I was not making a request for someone else to do the work for me.
