quote: [#62] 01.28.2003 - While You're All Waiting, Something Fun To Do... Grand Potato James has finally finished his flag-hacking-guide for creating and inserting your own custom player flag images into Master of Orion III. So if you are going to be waiting for a while for MOO3 to be released, start designing your own flags now and we'll probably have a flag maker's contest shortly.

The link is within the quote, but for some reason it doesn't
appear underlined in IE (i've checked it with mozilla only).

So, why is everyone so interested in hacking the flag. Is there no flag options in the game or something?

Nope. Can't change the flag, can't change colors, can't rename systems or ships.

and you have to be pretty motivated to go through all of that just to change a 30x30 stamp... I bet we'll all be too busy practicing vs the machine and tournamenting in MP to draw flags, but Grand Potato's was fun

You've got to think one of the early patches will change some of the lack of customization. I am completely baffled why its like this to begin with, but not being able to choose your race color is just plain ridiculous.

I remember hearing the same complaints when Age of Mythology was released (sans customization options).

The developers said there used to be too many arguments in MP when 2 peeps want the same colour.

I don't think that kind of argument really makes sense in a TBS game where most people will play exclusively single player.

You never like to see a series backslide; removing features in previous versions. It will not be hard for MOO3 to top MOO2, but they aren't making it easy on themselves.

You can change your flag, Potatoe's guide is if you want to make CUSTOM flags not included in the game shipping library.

Aaahhh! A hard fought cosolation. Maybe if we root Grand Potato on he can figure out how to change the screen colors, too. I've always been a bit of a dark purple man, myself. It makes me feel like a ninja.

So you can change the flag but not the color? I guess that's new. I don't remember flags even being in MOO2.

I remember one of the early previews talked about his desire to play the "Sexy Ninja Babes" as an empire. I wonder he didn't want the dark purple color too. I also wonder how hard it is to see a human guy wearing an Star Wars empire uniform reporting to an empire called the Sexy Ninja Babes.

You could choose your flag in moo2, sort of. But basically you were just choosing your color.

Rantz, don't spell "potato" with an "e" on the end, or you'll never have a chance of being vice president.

(Rantz, "Grande Patate" has lots of additional 'e's if you like )

about this thread... does not matter for the color, neither the flag, as long as in the end the galaxy is mine

edit: I add a in there, just to prevent being flamed in return

Why can't we pick our own colors?

RANTZ
No way, no way. Tried it once, it doesn't work. You get four guys all fighting over who's gonna be Emperor Black. But they don't know each other, so nobody wants to back down. No way, I pick. You're Emperor Pink. Be thankful you're not Emperor Yellow.

EMPEROR BROWN
Yeah, but Emperor Brown, that's a little too close to Emperor S***.

It just means I'll always play as the "Purplearians", regardless of which race they actually are. That's because the colour that represents my faction is so d*mn important to me

Nice RD reference. Very apt.

So we lost the ability to customize things because some kids might argue with one another? Meh, this is annoying. So flags can be changed, but colors/system names/ship names are all set? That was the fun stuff in MoO2. I'll never have an Arakkis to protect, or a Geidi Prime to use as my indsutrial base... Bah. I can't even send off population to Secula Sundus. :P

I wouldn't bet on that. . . Those star names have to be stored somewhere you know. Someone will find them, if the devs don't just break down and show us where the lists are at. As the colors, well, just don't give up hope before the game is even in your hands.

Yeah, it just won't be the same playing as the "Spaceball Empire" without getting to choose plaid as a colour.

Ludicrous Speed... NOW!
