This is where our experts try to teach you the very flexible modding system for our previous release - SOW Gettysburg and its add-ons. It's powerful, but dangerous. Post your tips and your questions.

I have the flags and uniforms all looking good on single player. But when I go multiplayer, the flags are good, but the uniforms are all generic. I'm not running the MP game against any other players; I'm essentially hosting a single-player MP game to test this.

So after all that, the B&F mod caused several GCM MP games to crash as soon as the first shots were fired. Disabled the mod, battle ran fine.

Regarding the uniform issue, check the Options after you select host and make sure uniforms are opted as BEST.

Regarding the crash, post the host's sowgb.log file. Maybe it's a glitch that I can troubleshoot. I like to share my flags and will strive to make them compatible with other mods when requested.

Oh man, duh. I feel like an idiot for the uniform thing. Haven't really touched those settings in years, so I guess I just forgot after the recent reinstall. Thanks.

I've asked the hosts from games that crashed last night if they would post their logs here.

It's working now. I renamed the unitmodel and unitattributes files (instead of deleting them outright) and the crashing has stopped. It's what I tried last time but for some reason it worked now.

I do have a separate question. What happened to the special PA national flags that had the state emblem in the canton? Is it no longer part of the mod?

Great, good to hear! :)

Just checked to make sure, and the GB 3Days DRF OOB uses that PA national flag, GFX_US_Penn_75th_Regt, with all the PA regiments. That flag was a late edition so I might have missed assigning it to all the B&F OOBs, just don't recall.

Eliminating the unitmodel file kills the firing sequence fix, too bad you can't move those lines to the GCM unitmodel. If you wish, attach here that GCM unitmodel file I'll check it out for a compatibility fix.

I'll post them when I'm home later.

In GCM, the PA flags don't show, even though I do remember in the past seeing them in GCM games (they were great, which is why I miss them so much). Is the PA nat'l flag supposed to be used for all PA units, or just some of them?

Checked a half dozen more B&F OOBs and the PA national is included so I'm assuming they're included in the rest. Open the OOB you play and check that 'GFX_US_Penn_75th_Regt' is in Column P, replacing 'GFX_US_National_Regt' for PA regiments.

Yikes, but thanks. Please attach it as a csv file, then I can open it with Excel.
