Faction Flags

Description
This mod gives Reapers, Skirmishers, and Templars their own flags (instead of the default US flag) when using armor with a flag displayed. This has no effect if you aren't using other mods that allow you to use nonstandard armor with faction soldiers, because their default armor doesn't display a flag.

Even if you aren't using armor mods, you can still see these flags, because you can also now choose the Reaper, Skirmisher, and Templar flags for a normal XCom soldier. You can also now change the nationality of a faction soldier.

For debugging/cheating, it also adds MakeSoldierAReaper, MakeSoldierASkirmisher, and MakeSoldierATemplar console commands, or change them back to a normal soldier with MakeSoldierARookie.
For example, to make the soldier named Jane Kelly a Reaper, type: MakeSoldierAReaper Jane Kelly
These commands are kind of glitchy (you end up with human Skirmishers, for example) but they work fine for testing.

To change the nationality of faction soldiers, this mod overrides UICustomize_Info and UICustomize_TemplarInfo. (Unfortunately, it didn't work correctly with a UIScreenListener) However, this is the only thing these overrides do, so they can be safely removed if you get conflicts.

WOTC only.

Nice thank you. Any chance of adding the advent flag to this (for roleplaying purposes)

Great thanks!

@KILLERm12: The conflict comes from UICustomize_Info between this and "Load From Character Pool" so you can follow the instructions on the bottom part of the description on this mod to correct it by commenting out UICustomize_Info on this mod.

This apparently conflicts with "Load From Character Pool," would there be a way to get around that?

@viper
As it says in the description, that override can be removed if you have a problem with it. All you'll lose is the ability to change the nationality of faction soldiers.

To remove that override, edit XComEngine.ini and put a ; before the + on the two lines it says you can safely comment out.

If the crash is due to this override, it should solve the problem.

Conflict found for 'UICustomize_Info':

Load from character pool
Just wondering if you were aware of this? Also if there is a possible work around, cause its causing crashing on start.

You can now change the nationality of Reapers, Skirmishers, and Templars, so if you want to give them ties to a different country or whatever else for their backstory, you can.

Any chance you can add a cheeky breeky EXALT flag?
