campmap\shields\colours\

[USMCNJ]

I'm new to the patch. so i'm sitting down and looking at all the new stuff they have. i came up on this folder campmap\shields\colours\

it has two imiges for all the fractions. lge and sml.
does anyone know what these do, or how to use them?

This folder contains all the shields which are next to the faction sheild and are coloured. So, you could open up England and it would be all red for a example. However, editting these doesn't change a faction colour, just the colour shields colour, selecting it would still select the same colour as before.

IIRC those are the shields you see when choosing the faction colour in a custom or multiplayer battle, as opposed to choosing the army for that faction. You can have several factions with the same army, but only one faction can use a given colour. We use two sets of shields to remind you whether you're selecting the army or the colour.
