Tutorial if you want to do this yourself (includes link to crumple effect)

Spoiler

1. You'll need a dds converter, I use DXTBmp http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Editors/DXTBmp.shtml

2.You'll also probably need some sort of image manipulator like Gimp or Photoshop

3. In DXTBmp open one of the banner texture files depending on which flag you wish to replace. banner texture files are called "banners_a.dds" and "banners_b.dds" they are located in the textures folder of Napoleonic War. On my computer the filepath is:C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\mountblade warband\Modules\Napoleonic Wars\Textures

(3.a. It's a good idea to back these files up before you replace them)

4. Once you've opened the banner textures convert them to a 24 bit bmp by saving as. call it banners_a.bmp or whatever you want

5. Open the Bmp with your image manipulator or MSPaint and paste your banner over the one you wish to replace. Then save it.


5.a (New step) I've created a crumple effect which you can put on top of it if you like: click the image to download

5.b Create a circle with a diameter of 147 pixels (so that it just touches the edges of your banner) this is what it's going to look like in game. Make sure you're happy with that! Erase the circle as it was just for illustration

6. Using DXTBmp open the updated bmp and overwrite the original .dds file

7. Start up Napoleonic Wars and test it out!

The 19te would be interested I think. It would be nice to have our banner in there

 

[Hadji Murat]

Cool, well I suggest get started on a first draft. The images are 147x147 (even smaller than native! )

Thanks to Karantukki.


92nd would be intrested (I suppose )


But I heard from Olafson that he was going to release a banner pack or so later. In what case I would leave it to him. But for now this would be fine.

 

[TobyJoker]

The Nr.34 Would be very interested in having a regimental banner!

Oh cool, I didn't realise somebody was putting one together already. If that's the case then perhaps he could just take over this post if you could direct him to it

 

[tico13]

Awesome idea. The 2nd Queen's Royal Foot would be incredibly interested.

Here is a look at our banner

 

[Hadji Murat]

Brilliant, If you could call dibs on which flag you want to replace (as you can see the 66th have taken 5e on grid a)

 

[Londnred]

The 27th would like one:
Grid 11c please:

 

[KArantukki]

Infanterie-Regiment No.3 (10a):

Ulanen-Regiment No.2 (9g):

18tesKPR:

III.Baierisches Artillerie-Batallion (3b):

@Gokiller, no problem 

 

[ImpossibleD]

81st will take f1 (on grid A) please.  the texture we will use is the orange flag, 2nd from top ( and yes, I know it's small )

 

[Hadji Murat]

I've updated the original post now.

ImpossibleD you'll need to resize the image to 150x150 (we're only changing banners not the colours)

Karantukki, those are some sweet banners. As you posted before my edit I'll flip the banners myself for you 
Thing about the borders is I'm not sure they'll be visible in game. You might want to test that. The writing on the 3rd will definitely not be legible in game but still looks sweet

Is that image corrupted? I'm seeing strange green lines running through it

Please re-read the original post and fix the size of it
Edit: this banner pack is only for banners not colours... If you want to modify colours you'll have to do it yourself. (I was considering sneaking these colours in to see if you'd notice):

trololo

Editon't worry everyone, I'm not going to do it!

[Hadji Murat]

[N3XuS]

I wish the Native Warband banners were still in, as I'd much rather see them get replaced than the other ones.
