Hey guys, I think it would be cool to have the flag of where the player is from next to their username. It brings a new aspect to the game and you get to know the players a little more. Yes... this has been implemented into other games **cough cough**, but I think it's really neat nevertheless and I would love to see it right here in Hedgewars! Your flag would be assigned based on the default region setting on your computer, so the player would not manually have to set it up. Also, if for any reason a player does not want their flag to appear, maybe have an option for that in the settings (just a check-box)? So, of course it would be right next to the player's username, either replacing the hedgehog icon or going next to it?

I don't program, so I am not aware of what this requires, so please tell me if I am on the wrong track.

Thanks and tell me what you think!

Here is a possible flag pack I found, all of the flags are in PNG format, and there are many different sizes. It is completely free and royalty free:

Or you could just use the flags from the ones already in teh game

but that would be too hard.

Of course, I was just suggesting these because they come in many different sizes, so maybe they work better in this particular instance than the ones we already have, but I don't know. Just a suggestion. Also there is a lot more flags, over 200.

Is it really in depth?

Existing flags were scaled down from an SVG flagpack. They can be generated in any dimensions. Ones picked were appropriate to position in layout.

So, 41 community flags, 217 country flags. That country flag list was reduced from an even larger list we initially worked from, btw, removing offensive or long-obsolete flags.

Oh, awesome. Just use those then

Wow, I didn't actually realize how many flags there were.

So do you think that this project is possible?
**/me crosses fingers**

Possible? Yes Will it happen? Depends on who's gonna code this.

That's awesome! I honestly wasn't sure if it would work or not! Now we just need to find someone who can do it

Anything is possible if you only believe. However, it probably won't happen.
