How to add pictures of cities

[San_Felipe]

I noticed that there are a lot of provinces in Europe, particularly in Germany where there are tons of pictures depicting old cities etc. However, it is very different in Asia since there are only a few cities that have pictures depicting them during the time.

My question is, is it possible for me to modify this and say add pictures for those cities? If so how can I do it?

yes it is.

Darkest Hour\map\Map_1\gfx\

holds all province pictures.

ill_prov_1459.bmp is the picture for the province with the id 1459.

so if you want to add a new one, for say the province 999 you simply have to add an new bmp file named ill_prov_999.bmp, just remeber to use 24bit bmps.

You can get the Provinceids from the Darkest Hour\map\Map_1\province_names.csv or directly ingame using the "showid" in the console.

OK thanks, but what about the country flags? I remember on the HOI3 that TGA files were used. Yet can't seem to find any inside the folders, so could you please help me with this too? I would like to change a few of the country flags e.g. Germany and Japan.

Yes but how do I do it? For example, if I find a flag on google that I like, what or how do I convert it so it appears in game?

Hi San_Felipe, currently Bulgarion and me are developing World Pic Mod to add a unique picture to each province (look at my signature). So far South America, Balkans and Baltic States are completely done, soon all Europe will be complete, and we could use an extra hand with Asia since its huge. If you want contact Burgarion or me

Please can someone help me with how to change the shields and flags. I already know what folders to go in to, but I need to know what I do then. When I find a flag on Google that I like to use for example, then how do I use (implement) that picture into the game so I can turn it into either a flag or shield?

Any help I get would be most appreciated.

Damn, if I had known this console command existed weeks ago...
