Me too.
About 1/10 of the factions are missing their banners.

Strange it works very well for me, and i really love it

I also noticed the small goodies added in the loading screens

Shadrach & Tokus, superbe work!!
I hope you will not stop here and continue other 2D graphical enhancements
(Just a joke, the mod is already the most beautifull i have seen on the strat map).

Thats weird.

There are about 10 factions missing their symbols for me.
I will try adding the mod again.

[Shadrach]

Those of you with problems with the symbols, what operating systems are you running?

Did you pack the files into the DLV_ext folder and be sure that that the data directory and content is overwritten?

Really weird that some symbols show and some don't as they are all on the same file.

[jasonxfri13th]

Well, I got all of the symbols to work by copy and pasting the folders again. I think combining all of the mods I use (BB, RMP, Text overhaul, Cedrics Mini Mod) caused it to screw up, and I had some miss placed files from one of the mods.
But for some reason the mini map was the normal one (in the bottom left) BUT when I ended a turn the main map (where units, castles are) turns black and the mini map turns into the new mini map.

I was confused so I tried adding the mods again but now it CTDs, so I am going to delete the DLV mod folder and start over.
Also, kind of out of place, but is there a way to change the faction names to a more understandable way?

[HbHadast]

Awesome job guys! +rep

The symbol set for the Moors isn't accurate, though. I hope that this can help:

Thanks guys!!+rep!!

[Shadrach]

Really Nice work Tokus! Hope its much easier for you now to edit the files as you don't have to fiddle with the cramped files

I also got the weird graphic mess up bug yesterday, and it hung completely as well. If it continues I'll try reinstalling DLV and just the gfx mod and see if its that or if its BB or some combination, those are the only mods I have.

[cedric37]

Keep up the great work, Tokus!
I have downloaded it already

[Brips]

Can't continue a campaign with your new update....

[Tokus*Maximus]

@Agis Tournas - definately one for the BIG DLV patcher collection!
@TMSKILZ - You are most welcome - happy new year to you too!
@cedric37 - Thx for the praise - I loved sorting this mod out - it was fun!
@Sivilombudsmannen - glad the mod hit the spot
@jasonxfri13th - aye, lots of sub-mod can often confuse each other and have conflicting files. I'm playing this on DLVanilla 6.2 + latest BB by Taiji and then this Artfixer lastly.
@HbHadast - Thanks for your Moors reference - I tok it to heart and changed all the Moors symbols over.

Can't continue a campaign with your new update....

@Brips - My fellow modder-in-arms Shadrach may known more about this than me about your question, but I'd recommend starting afresh when you upgrade with this art*patcher...

Hope this finds you well,

-- Tokus

Arf, since i updated my game with your symbol patch i cannot reload my game: here is the error:

18:29:29.593 [data.invalid] [error] Insufficient video memory to load requested texture set.

Hope this helps.
