SHPedit Help Needed

[manteuffel]

Yes I know all my info and I'll post the results as shape files in case you have the time to check.

The following have been edited (as a control to make sure I can make edits. In this case I simply changed one flag.)

-Icon0095 (the swastika flag red to brown)
-Icon0097 (the swastika mini flag red to black)

Both will appear in shpedit as changed but will not change the flag in the game.

I swapped the cross and swastika flag just to see if the icons would change and they did. At least the computer is letting me do that.

I REALLY appreciate your help guys! This is one weird problem.

Thanks to Cross I really got this thing figured out now. For some reason Icon0095 only wants to show alternate flags in a battle and not in the battle set up screen. At least now I can start working on my other projects!

I believe Icon0095 and Icon0096 are the 'setup' Menu Flags,
and Icon0097 and Icon0098 are the Battle ID Tag Flags.

Ok so I finally got everything to work. Thanks a million for your help!

In a subfolder of Graphics in SPWW2 there are alternate flags for Germany for those people who don't want the swastika displayed in their game. There are three files that control that. Icon0095.shp, Icon0097.shp and Battle.Shp so if all you are changing is 95 and 97 and not changing Battle that would explain why the battle set up screen was not changing

Thanks, I didn't know about Battle.shp

Battle.SHP is where the button flags are and those alternative files to allow switching out the Swastika flag have been sitting in a subfolder of the game almost from the very beginning. In the DOS version they were in a Subfolder of SHP and in the Windows version they are subfolders of Graphics. The flags for the ID tags and V hexes etc have changed location between DOS and Windows but the buttons have always been in Battle.shp.
