[2024.1] Historical Flags and Identification Booklet

Historical Flags and Identification Booklet Current version: 1. 4. 10 Historical Flags and Identification Booklet (or simply Historical Flags, HF) is a mod that adds historically accurate ensigns and flags for 75+ countries and territories from the WWII era as well as a fully functional in-game flag identification booklet. HF covers civil ensigns, naval ensigns, and national flags where appropriate. HF modifies the ensigns flown on ships' models, flags on docks in ports, the groups & entities icons on the map, and the small flags on the target list (either the ones when selecting an officer at a targeting station or at mission debriefing). The preview image is for illustration only and is not an exhaustive list of flags in the mod. Full list of included countries here. This mod is savegame compatible but clearing the cache folder is recommended. If you are not using mods like UBE or Living Uboat consider enabling the Flags Diversity submod to be able to see many of the HF flags in vanilla convoys! In-game booklet The in-game booklet UI can be used in the periscope or UZO to recognise flags. It covers allied, neutral, and axis ships and has a working table of contents with links for easy navigation. Below are two images explaining how to use it (note the toggle button now starts at the bottom left corner of the screen). Note: prior to v1. 3. 5 the toggle button could appear outside of the screen. This should be fixed now but if it happens again please reduce the UI zoom with the “page down” button and you should see it appear. It can then be dragged to a better position. Regarding German flags HF includes the historical German flags with swastikas. If you want to enable “safe mode” do as follows: Navigate to the mod folder, which should be \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\2397616976; Open the HF.xlsx in the Data Sheets folder; Change the SafeMode value from False to True in the Settings tab (see image below). Attention! Make sure to write True, not true or TRUE;
