My kudos must first go out to Mohamed2001 and ODawg for inspiring this quick project; as well as deviantART/Wikipedia user RootOfAllLight for the high-resolution Classic NCR Flag I modified to make these texture edits.
This should be compatible with everything as long as it's below any other texture packs in your load order. Keep in mind, however, that I have not edited any additional NCR flags that other mods or texture packs may have introduced.
I like the New California Republic's flag in Fallout 2, compared to New Vegas; it's less derivative of the California flag, even if a little gaudy; this is the post-apocalypse, they probably don't have their best graphic designers out there. Always seeking Classic-style replacers, I discovered the original Classic flag replacer mod about three years ago; I was unsatisfied with it, as it wasn't 1:1 with Vanilla; having different texturing, tattering, et cetera; additionally, some other appearances of the NCR flag were unchanged.
Cracking open the game's BSAs, I salvaged as much white space as I could from the NCR and Followers flags (as they use the same base) and transformed the new, blank flag I'd made into this. This new Black Isle-styled NCR flag is a mixture of the Classic and NV designs, fitted onto the exact same flag base as vanilla to make it as congruous as possible with the world. Additionally, where it would be difficult to put a classic variant (such as having to draw a stenciled version or being warped to fit a model sheet) I've simply removed the text from the New Vegas version of the flag as a compromise.
To summarize, this mod edits:
President Kimball's suit is unchanged; the lapel pins are small enough that the text is simply nonexistent. There's an insignificant line of pixels identifiable as the text on the female variant due to the larger pin, but I don't think anyone will notice it badly enough that it requires bloating the .zip file further.
If there's any additional texture sheets for me to add to this mod...let me know ASAP!
