[Modding] Adding flag textures & flag cloth item - CommanderBeelo/DayZ-Expansion-Scripts GitHub Wiki

Click on the picture to be redirected on our sample flag textures mod.

DISCLAIMER !

We are not going to teach you how to create a mod or convert images to .paa/.edds.

You will need to setup a mod with the usual config.cpp for a basic mod. All the files we will create will need to add new flags.

The hierarchy of the mod we have provided looks like this.

FlagSample.c

To add a flag texture you need to add the following lines and modifications to your mod within the game script module (3_Game):

	modded class ExpansionFlagTextures
	{
		override void Load()
		{
			super.Load();
			// This is where you want to add or remove flags !
			Add("<path to flag texture>", "Flag Example 1");
		};
	};

To add a flag you need to add the following line:

	Add("ModName\\data\\flag_name_co.paa", "MyFlagName");

If you want to remove a flag that is arleady added by expansion you will need to add the following line to that modification:

	Remove("DayZExpansion\\Objects\\Structures\\Flags\\data\\logos\\flag_expansion_co.paa");

This is an example for adding 2 new flags and remove the expansion logo flag from the expansion mod:

	modded class ExpansionFlagTextures
	{
		override void Load()
		{
			super.Load();
			// This is where you want to add or remove flags !
			Add("ModName\\data\\flag_name_co.paa", "MyFlagName");
			Add("ModName\\data\\flag_name2_co.paa", "MyFlagName2");
			Remove("DayZExpansion\\Objects\\Structures\\Flags\\data\\logos\\flag_expansion_co.paa");
		};
	};
