The Panzer Corps Eagle: Modding

I'd like to know how to replace the highly abstracted and non-historic eagle on the upper right corner of the tactical map and elsewhere with an historically more accurate symbol. It's simple enough to replace the flags on the tactical map with actual swastikas but I haven't been able to find where that psuedo-eagle actually resides in the files. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Tim

You mean the headbase.png in the UI folder?

I suppose you want something like this but not in black.
Maybe someone could pick the idea.

It was 5 o'clock in the morning when I've done that, so it doesn't look good.
Today I made some new ones, I've worked with a different figure, which is better IMO.

I've flip the head of the eagle to the right (exception the original eagle), due the symbolic meaning. This way is standing for the country and not for the party. The Reichsadler. I just like historical accuracy not the ideology.

Great work! You're right, the black one didn't do well against the background but the gold ones you've added are perfect. My graphics skills are non-existent so I really appreciate this.

Thanks again!

Tim

I've edited my previous post with new links, because the eagle head in the Reichsadler is looking to its right shoulder.
Otherwise it would be Parteiadler.

@Euroboss

Just use the flags in viewtopic.php?t=25983

Thank you

Is anybody going to edit the medals also?

I'm no expert in medals. But what is missing is only the swastika at the center of the medal?

Very good! I wish I had photoshop and some other software as I would like to learn this type of stuff. So far I can only use the simple applications in windows to modify.

Something like this?

If that's ok, I'll do it for the rest of the medals. :)

For obvious reasons I will not insert the year.

One more thing.
Which looks better? The darker or the clear one?

The top one, if it looks the same when installed.

Shouldn't the flags, medals and the eagle be in the modding/scenario part of the forum?
