also don’t put the code like that when making prerequisites and mutually exclusive, it’s only useful for other codes but not mutually_exclusive and prerequisite

So i've been making a graphics mod and I got stuck on the flags part. When i entered the civilwar it didn't show the flag i have set for left opposition but the normal soviet flag. I have it tried two times and I don't know what might be causing it. Do i have to add the original soviet flag to the mod for it to work?

looking for a way for my country to use the SOV tag, without starting as SOV.
quick latch
Use a country tag alias for that
alternatively, you could actually switch the tag, if that's what you want
The code for that'd be:
XXX = { # Original country
change_tag_from = XXX # New country
}
if i use a country tag alias, will wargoals generated against SOV also generate against my country?

The code for that'd be:
```
XXX = { # Original country
change_tag_from = XXX...

There can only be one of the same tag at a time.

Make sure you create a flag in three sizes: small, medium and large. The large flags must be located in the gfx/flags folder, and the others in their respective folders inside the flags folder. The name of the flag file must have the following form: TAG_ideology.tga or TAG.tga

Each flag needs to be a TGA-file with the name of the country tag and, optionally, the ideology group that the flag is assigned to. The flag file format is uncompressed 32-bit ARGB. In this case, "32-bit", "32 bits per pixel (bpp)", and "32 bitdepth" have the exact same meaning. In some editors where the bitdepth isn't settable when exporting but rather static without allowing the user to draw anything that the bitdepth doesn't allow, 32-bit means the RGB image mode alongside an alpha channel used for transparency present within the image. If it is 24-bit (meaning there is no alpha channel), the file will load but throw an error stating that it'll slow down the game and that it's recommended to use 32bpp.

Are you sure you exported the flag correctly?
Do you have Adobe Photoshop?
Using it, you can copy the flag from the Hearts Of Iron IV/gfx/flags folder and superimpose your flag over it. Then, just click on the Save button. The flag will be saved with the desired settings, the only thing left is to rename it.
I've always done so

to make a country not have a name, just dont make a localization for the country name

i think you have to
there might be a better way but the only way i can think of is just setting the ownership of every state individually to that country
or you can have an on-action that has that specific tag annex all tags except for germany
but the on-action might lag the game when it starts and won't show the differences until after you've loaded into your country (so on the country selection screen they'll appear)
