Fix for the Ukrainian Flag
Posted: 2022-08-05 19:58, Friday
The Ukrainian flag is turned upside down in the original game. This problem is propagated to many of the subsequent mods. Given the non-existent role of Ukraine in the game, there was no real need to fix the flag. But now, if ever, it seems that the flag ought to be corrected.
To deal with this issue, I fixed MOGDEN.dat and CWGEN.dat. The following .zip file contains both files.

MOGDEN.dat is for the original, stock game.
CWGEN.dat is for the game as made available for download from https://www.peoplesgeneral.de/
The .zip file also contains the original MOGDEN.dat for the purists.
I cannot determine how many times the Ukrainian flag is incorrect within both files and cannot be bothered to clobber every wrong instance. However, I amended the Ukrainian flag icon in FLAGS1.s16, FLAGS8.s16, FLA31A.s16, and FLA31B.s16. (Importantly, nothing else is touched.) Putting the two .dat folders in your game folder will ensure the fix for:
(1) the original PEOPLES.exe
(2) PeG010.exe
(3) PeG020.exe
(4) PeG020SA.exe
(5) PeG030.exe
(6) PeG030Asia.exe
(7) PeG030India.exe
(PeG020SP.exe is included from the download on https://www.peoplesgeneral.de/. It does not use the Ukrainian flag and therefore does not have to be fixed.)
The two .dat files can just be dropped into the game.
(Micha, please feel free to directly replace CWGEN.dat bundled with the game on https://www.peoplesgeneral.de/ with this revised CWGEN.dat!)
Enjoy!
