1.Is there a way of replacing the hong kong flag on PEG coastal fort with a flag of your choice?

2.How can I create a flag using maybe BAT?

1.  There are lots of flag sets on the STEX, be sure they are in your plugins then use the lot editor to replace the one you want to change.

2.  Yes, but render it as a prop and see 1.

3.  Never seen one of these, so I don't know.

Thanks Nonny but I tried using the lot editor but the flag didn't show up as a prop.I really want to replace it with a british one.

Bad scene if it is included in the model.  Your best bet is to re-bat it.  Getting an exported model back into an editor is something that is beyond me.  I don't think it is possible because the actual 3D model doesn't exist in the lot.

Perhaps I would re-design the flag of my fictional country to match with that of hong-kong.lol

Is it this file? If so, you need to use the OFMN mod by Pegasus to replace the flag with one of your choosing

@APSMS

I had the OFMN but brown box was showing until I recently installed some flag packs so I think OFMN does not work or?

Let me also ask this:

If I edit a building in lot editor using props and then plop it in my city,can I edit that same building with different props whilst maintaining the look on the first?

My aim is to take a building and edit it with different flag props at different times to be used as embassy buildings in my country.

I think you can get away with that if you give each new edition a different name using SaveAs.  Try it in your sandbox.

[Richie99 159]

Oh ok.I would give that a try.One question about LE:

If you select a lot and then replace a building on that lot for editing,does it override the original lot in game?

Or can you get around that by using save as?I did a test but the building was a RCI type so yet to see the effect

.

If you modify a lot that exists in a city, to replace it with the new one you have to bulldoze the original.  If it is a growable, you'd have to use the lot plop option in 'extra cheats dll' debugging commands.

Oh ok.

OFMN works fine and has the Maxis "International Day of Peace Props" as dependency. You can find the direct link to the dependency when you download

Alright,will try that.
