Problem with my World War II Banners Pack?
« on: March 04, 2013, 12:40:31 am »


               Hey there, everyone! Tarot was trying to let me know that there is an error on one of my World War II banners. Anyone have any idea what's up with it? They seem to work find in-game as far I am able to test, so I'm not sure what I should be looking for in terms of errors. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Also, someone acted like they were offensive. I didn't intend them that way, in fact my friend OldTimeRadio thought they'd make a great addition to D20 Modern. Of course if the general consensus is they're perhaps unwise, then I'd be happy to see to their deletion from the site! I would be interested in learning more about that error Tarot mentioned though.

               I don't find them offensive.  I've not got a use for more modern stuff, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

Seriously...it's WWII banners, showing flags that were used at the time.  I don't see why anyone would find them offensive.  Are they offended watching Indiana Jones movies?

I'll take a look and see if I find anything wrong with them.  Might take a few days before I find the time though.

               It's all fixed everybody! Tarot was extremely helpful to me and pointed out the minor flaws that needed correcting. My new version is even better and includes a banner for Great Britian too! Keep your eyes peeled for my latest project - an Orc Fort prefab to be approved by the next time the Vault rolls around.

               Also, well said Amethyst Dragon! Those were my thoughts on the matter precisely. '<img'> Hey, can you imagine somebody doing an Indiana Jones mod for NWN using D20 Modern? That would be too cool! '<img'> Wonder why nobody thought of it before?

               I'm glad you posted those, YM!  I don't see anything objectionable about them either.

They're not unwise and shouldn't be deleted, just changed a little.

Why I said they are offensive is because they are not historically correct. The eagle you put on the flag was first designed for the Weimar Republic. It was not used by the ****s. The correct eagle for that time is on the small flag you put on the green flag. It has spread wings and the head is turned to the other side. The eagle you put on the green flag was used before WWII and after it. During world war two it happened that not all old flags were replaced, so that eagle might still have been shown somewhere, but on old flags not new ones and not together with a swastica.

The small flags you pasted on the bigger german and soviet flags are also more detailed than such big flags would have been and since those big flags are hanging down, the orientation of the smaller ones is wrong anyway.

The flag should just be red with a white circle containing a swastica. Even if you want to keep that detailed small flag on it, it should still be red, not green and the small flag should be turned by 90 degrees.

You should really remove the eagle. If you think I'm nit-picking, try replacing that eagle by a polish or american eagle and see if people still don't find it offensive.

BTW you forgot a french flag.
