Flags by Przemba

I changed all flags in game for better quality.

Looks good. I like the effect you've applied to the flags

[osito2dancer]

That's an Honduras and a Bosnia-Herzegovina flag at the last row of flags? Namely 2 and 4. They look cool, where did you find them in the first place?

[Przemba]

Yes osito2dancer you're right. They were originally in a game, but I think they are not in use such as some of menu flags such as Venezuela or Columbia

Wow that looks really good. By any chance did you do any alternate history flags or even flags from other universes like star wars or Marvel like the empire or the avengers. im really bad at modding this game and it looks like you got some skill if you can make it look that good.

Could you please explain how to apply the mod for the game? It looks really nice, but I have no idea how TexMod works thanks!

That video covers every aspect of texmod (extract textures, modify and reload them ingame), so if you just want to focus on making the mod work, watch the last part (IIRC, around 8:00 mark).

In short:

1) Open TexMod
2) In the top option, click on the folder and search for your xcomgame executable
3) In the middle folder icon (right in the middle of the 2 boxes), click and search for the tex files (tpf)
4) Select files you want to apply (the mod page shows what file you need to choose to apply the different effects)
5) Click on Run and enjoy.

There is also a way of enabling texmod to run on steam, that needs you to:

1) Navigate to your xcom folder (steam/steamapps/common/xcom-enemy-unknown)
2) Go to your binaries folder (binaries/win32)
3) Copy texmod into that folder
4) Rename xcomgame.exe to an alternative game (xcomgame-original.exe or something else)
5) Rename texmod.exe to xcomgame.exe
6) Run xcom using steam .

Also, it does not matter if you have mods or not, since this mod is just a graphical patch that does not directly modify any files, it is compatible with Warspace and ToolBoks.
