Follow-up Comment #4, patch #7613 (project freeciv): The purpose of this patch is to finish the german empire efforts in patch #5468 started 2014 and now ready from my POV. It also adds an (unused) Hongkong flag requested in the Wiki in 2007, and adds an (unused) Danzig flag by J.M. Maalderink in http://download.gna.org/freeciv/contrib/nations/danzig.patch (2010). The patch re-inserts the "lost" (unused) old Myanmar flag in the relevant makefiles etc.
It activates nine unused flags for uses in non-standard or modified nations. The tenth and last unused flag "unknown" is already activated, and that's as it should be for all unused flags in data/flags, e.g., I'd like to use the unused NATO flag for http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Nations/native instead of stealing the Aleut flag (that works but it's not really a good hack.) The whole unused flag business does not affect any nation you'd find in a save game, but the german empire would be a new nation. If that's impossible for 2.5.6 (why?) it could of course also be handled in 2.6.0-beta1, please check path #5468 for the details (not my idea, I just added it to some anyway required patches for the "unused" clean-up). The *first* part of the other patches I have in mind for later are lots of already fixed invalid SVGs, lots of not yet fixed SVGs, and apparently the convert_png procedure is not automatical, therefore I have to check all pending SVG patches again and roll my own convert_png equivalent if old and new SVG are visually different. Presumably I'll only tackle NATO, because I care about the natives. As long as the SVG is valid and some PNGs exist updating the PNGs can be done on demand (different color in SVG counts as "demand" from my POV.) The *second* part of other patches I have in mind for later is collected in bug #24982. The third and last part is the trivial patch #7435, get rid of four non-existing flags erroneously mentioned as alternative in four nation rulesets. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/patch/?7613> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
