ACW 2d flag and unit color mod version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------
This mod represents a bit of a departure from my usual practice.
Instead of being a mod of an entire game, it is a mod of one set of textures for all the games in an entire series.
I've made relatively few changes because I really like the way things look in the original and don't want to do anything that might clash with the design team's vision.
The textures that are being modded are the six 2d symbols sets from the Map folder (not to be confused with the Maps folder).
The mod comes in two flavors, depending on whether you prefer your confederates in grey or butternut.
The mod uses more or less historical flags for the different periods of the Civil War.
There are flag notes with dates in each uniform color folder, but First Bull Run and the Peninsula Campaign use Period I flags, Chancelorsville and Gettysburg use Period II flags, and everything else uses Period III flags. Appomattox uses Period IV flags.
To use the mod, back up the six unmodded textures and copy and paste the contents of the appropriate Period folder(and not the folder itself) into the appropriate map folder. Do not try to copy the mod folder to your game because nothing will happen (the game engine wom't read it).
2d units in grey and butternut:
3d units for context (not part of mod)
Old Banshee's unit boxes and colorized leader portraits are spectacular, and the regimental flags inside the unit boxes match the flags on the 3d units.
The mod can be downloaded here:
