I’ve been trying to override Turkey’s multiplayer flag so my custom USA faction displays the correct icon in skirmish and MP. I’ve gone through a full forensic sweep of the Remastered asset pipeline, but I still haven’t located the actual flag textures.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

I fully extracted every MEG in the RA1 Remastered install:

PATCHES ? terrain tiles only

SRGB ? global junk textures

RA_SRGB ? RA?specific UI + some sidebar assets

TD_SRGB ? TD?specific UI

MODELS / ANIMS ? 3D assets, VQP metadata, etc.

MAPS ? map previews, minimap masks

MOVIES ? FMVs

None of these contained the 8 nation flags.

I scanned every SHP I could find:

XCC Mixer shows many Remastered SHPs as black squares

Found several suspicious SHPs with 8 frames, but they turned out to be:

map size masks

sonar pulse animations

misc UI effects

Nothing resembling the 8 country flags.

I also confirmed that the MP flags are not SHP files — they appear to be DDS textures in a UI atlas.

I inspected all DDS files in:

RA_SRGB

TD_SRGB

PATCHES

SRGB

Found UI elements, buttons, backgrounds, etc., but no flag sheet.

This strongly suggests the flags are in the shared UI atlas, which should be inside:

Textures_COMMON_SRGB.meg
…but this MEG is large and heavily compressed, and I haven’t yet found the specific DDS that contains the 8 flags.



OS BIG for extraction

XCC Mixer for SHP browsing

SHP Builder / OpenRA viewer for verification

GIMP to view DDS

Everything points to the flags being DDS textures, not SHPs.

I’ve eliminated every MEG except Textures_COMMON_SRGB.meg as the possible home of the MP flag sheet. I’m preparing to package the faction for alpha testing, but I’d like to finish the flag override if possible.

What I Need
If anyone knows:

which MEG contains the multiplayer flag textures

the exact DDS filename

whether the flags are in a UI atlas

the correct override path

…I’d really appreciate the pointer.

I only need to override Turkey’s flag, since my custom faction uses Owner=TUR.

I'm probably missing something obvious.
