[0.20.0] International Flag Pack

[jheriko]

Since I'm sure many people will want their national flags, or similar I have put together a small collection of appropriately resized and cleaned up .pngs in an installer on Kerbal Space Port to save the small amount of effort involved learning how to add a flag and creating or finding a suitable source image.

Enjoy!

Nice job, but was it really necessary to make an installer? Some people are extremely wary about running foreign executables. Why not just release it as a pack with the files in correct structure so users can just drag-and-drop install like other mods?

If you're going to include custom made executables, it may be a good idea to include the source code so people know what they're dealing with.

Exactly, I deleted the file. No need for any window executables. Certainly not for a game that also runs on mac and linux.

[jheriko]

ok. i will change it for a plain ol' zip file - shouldn't take long.

my usual attitude towards macs and linux is that nobody has them to a very good approximation so i assumed a convenient installer would be better than expecting users to know things. - (i run a mac mini with linux/win/os x triple boot and have developed a game for the mac even - i'm not anti, its just the sad truth that these platforms may as well not exist)

its not really a custom .exe I used NSIS to quickly create the installer. if its something you ever want to do easily I highly recommend it, its better than every commercial solution I've ever used, free and very well documented online.

No guyana flag?

[jheriko]

I will add some more when I next get a chance. Sorry for missing you guys out until now - I did add some requested in the comments on Kerbal Space Port. There is a comment from one user suggesting that he has 800 or so national and regional flags all ready to go, and in that case it feels sensible that he should create an addon and I abandon this - or else I include his files and give him primary credit for the addon somehow.

Thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated.

This is now updated to contain basically every country - including many contentious, tiny and historical ones...

[Fonso]

I bet some will recognise this one....

[aftokinito]

I bet some will recognise this one....

It's the flag of Asturias, a region of Spain :V

[Pizkwat]

What about the Commonwealth of Independent States? If you have a EU flag, then you need a CIS flag, because the CIS is the weak coalition of Russia, Khazakstan, Ukraine, and a few other nations that, together, make up the Russian Space Program. And yes, it still exists.

[jheriko]

right. ill take a look at this hopefully tonight, but maybe not until tomorrow. unfortunately... or fortunately... i have work to got to

This is a good pack, and I look forward to future updates. I'm sure it's fun trying to allow for every single flag under the sun!
