jussitska Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I have installed the Generic Mod Enabler v2.6.0.157 in IL-2 Sturmovik BoS root folder. I've done MODS folder in which I unzipped all the mods. Then I activate them with Generic Mod Enabler, but this mod fails. I also changed the Correct Awards / data / swf / IL2 / countries / 201/ flag name to flag.big.dds . No change will happen ... Where am I doing wrong?

Thad Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 What do you mean that 'This mod fails'? Are you able to activate it? Have you played in a campaign to see if the changes have taken place?

It also adds the same symbol to the Kriegsflagge in the country menu. kindly Jussi
Philippe_at_bay Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 When I poke around inside the game folders, I don't see a countries folder unless I've already tried to install the mod, and even then I only see the german flag image, which doesn't actually show up in-game. Is this because I'm using the Steam version, or have I overlooked changing something in settings? (I don't seem to be able to make this work in my installation either, even though I have mods and 4K enabled).

Philippe_at_bay Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Many thanks. Changing the names of the files solves the problem. And if you take a look at the end of the Historically Correct Official Skins thread, you'll find two realistic alternatives to bowdlerized symbols. Edited July 13, 2019 by Philippe_at_bay
huligan Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) fixed version for 4.001c Correct Awards.zip ...\data\swf\il2\coalitions\axispowers\flag.big.dds replaced on Скрытый текст Edited November 17, 2019 by huligan 7
FurphyForum Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 @huligan Mate, you might want to use a spoiler on the war flag above.... just saying. 1
Tapi Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Please help me: Where are placed original awards .dds files? I have Steam version and there is not folder "Achievements" in my installation: c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\swf\il2\ nor folder "Countries"... Thera are only folders "Userdata", "Usersave" and "Worldobjects".
Keeper Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) The above link posted in November replaces the half-German, half-Japanese Axis Powers icon used in Quick Mission aircraft selection with a German-only icon. While the game doesn't yet have any Japanese aircraft, for the purposes of keeping the icon as close to game-original as possible but with an accurate German portion, I've made a replacement that retains the half-Japanese portion of the icon. This is just the file itself in a ZIP file. It should be extracted to data/swf/il2/coalitions/axispowers coalitions-axispowers.zip Edited January 28, 2020 by Keeper 2 4
Shorkboy Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Thank you very much. This one had more realism than what we think!
22GCT_RedBaron Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Hi all. The mod does not work with the latest version of the simulator. Why? I have these folders inside ? \ Program Files (x86) \ 1C Game Studios \ IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles \ data \ swf\il2 . see image. Thanks for the reply

22GCT_RedBaron Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 kendo and Yankee_One: thank you for your interest. Now it works well. The problem was the jgme that did not copy the files in the il2 folder: I copied the mod folders manually. Thank you very much again 2
YossarianWitt Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Hi, is there an updated version of this mode? I have historically correct awards, but the Kriegsflagge is incorrect. Thanks
FurphyForum Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Yep, no longer works ....\ IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battless \ data \ swf \ il2 \ coalitions \ axispowers The name of the file is "flag.big.dds" without quotes

The Skins for the awards work perfectly but the Kriegsflagge is still missing the centre part of the swastika emblem. Disregard above.. I missed a step i hadn't changed the file from Imige.big.dds to flag.big.dds my fault for speed reading the entire post in the AM! Great Mod Thank You @Mitthrawnuruodo Edited December 19, 2021 by HeerRitter
Nars Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the mod, Mitthrawnuruodo! Works after changing the file name. I'm trying to use @Keeper 's half-German, half-Japanese flag posted above, but there's no "coalitions" folder in the game's data/swf/il2.

WitchyWoman Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 I think they have changed the names again in some update. This folder dos not even show up in a fresh install and neither does any flag file.
Skycat1969 Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 It still works for me -- flags and awards. I just tested in the Steam version.

Kattern Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Hi everybody! I want to put this swastika files manually, just overwrite existing ones, but... "If the activation was correct, you should see some new files in data\swf\il2\achievements\ and data\swf\il2\countries\." Steam version - I don't have such catalogues - no "achievements" and no "countries" where they should be. I mean main game folder, revealed by Steam when i wan't to see where game is installed. Sholud I create this subfolders manually? Have a good day! Kattern
Kattern Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I did it! It works, folders created manually, THANK YOU Mitthrawnuruodo for this mod!

The Luftwaffe medals are in swf\il2\achievements\201nnn where nnn seems to go from 001 to 036. Each folder seems to have an inline.dds, preview.dds and big.dds. Not 100% sure but presumably comes from swf.gtp Edited March 21 by Stonehouse
