This is my first mod. Its a simple flag mod with new flags for earlier OOB that people want to create. Contained in the zip are sprites for the four different Confederate national flags.

To use the flags create/edit your sandbox OOB and input the new references from the csv file into the flag column.

PS. first mod so I hope i got it all right

Hey, great to see someone else designing flags, Rebs no less, one of my passions. Suggestion, make a complete mod with a modified OOB renamed distinctly. This would be a quick way for folks to check out your flags and then modify other oobs if they want to expand them into their regular play.

I can almost guarantee you'll get faster and more feedback this way. Me, for one...for I have no time to mod an oob to look at your flags, least not now, maybe someday. Thanks for this contribution to SOW, I'll be following your progress and wish you success.

Thanks for the tip. I have updated the zip file with an OOB just for viewing the flags called OOB_SB_CSAFlagsexample, pick Lee and all four flags shall be showing.

Yea goes stright into mods folder. This is a mod for modders so it wont have any effect on the core game if enabled, but people can use the new flags in sandbox OOBs they want to create.

I can create a union flag if you would like one, although the stock one does me fine.

I am not a huge fan of the original, it looks really blurry to me. If it isn't much trouble to make one I would be gratefull!.....btw I liked your flags so much that i replaced all of my current oobs flags with yours!

thanks for the work you put into it!

Hi.

Cool, just downloaded them. Do I have permission to incorporate these into my small oobs?

Later.

Very nice work, and without any help from us "been there and done thats", impressive for sure. Getting just 8 frames to look good is tough, but it's definitely the most efficient approach regarding the file makeup. I gotta have 12 frames for my style design, so I waste two lines.

One suggestion I think will improve your style. Edit your displacement waves template from light to darker. For me this looks more realistic, as then the waves intensify as they move to the end of the flag.

Keep up the Good Work! :)
