The process is still the same as mentioned here (I also write about it on the fourth page of the thread): http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,121012.msg2922592.html#msg2922592

The hard part is the texture manipulation, because you usually have to mask the area where the banner should appear in a tedious manual way (excluding belts, rivets, etc.), and then play around with different contrast and brightness setting to get an acceptable blending result for all colors. On some armors, this takes 20 minutes, on others, hours.

The reason why I didn't post a link to a download is because the resources are useless, if you don't create a new module. If you want to check it out by creating a new module, send me a PM and I can give you a zip that you can then extract into a copy of the native folder to build a new module and further instructions. It's quite involved, though.

since crpg has already gotten around 1500 items in item.txt ,which is quite large for a mod for warband. i think the best solution is to replace current brown/blue/yellow/grey/crimson/black/green/white/pink/purple/azura colored mail with surcoat or any other armor that has the same model but different color variations with one model, but alternative color using tableau technics, so we can reduce the amount of models by 100+(every item occupies 7 slots in item.txt for the -3~+3 ranks of items),which means we can add more distinctive items.

The problem with that is that some clan players might not want to run around in the colors of their clan banner.

Here's the other until now unheraldic mail with surcoat:

I can make a better heraldic brigandine than the one in that link. I even might, if I had any hope of getting it ingame any time soon. But it takes the devs forever to implement new items, so I can't bring up the motivation to do any work.

This!
What motivation for talented modder to do great stuff if it won't be added to game?

This requires that banners are solid color (exact same color as chosen in background color script) + symbol. As you can see on the screenies, it doesn't work well if the banner includes large areas with different color than background color. This is not something that can be changed, unfortunately. You can still do multi-color backgrounds, but it will look probably better if you only do it in a square area around the symbol, and not over the whole banner. I can whip something up later if this is a concern.

Couldn't an admittedly painfully tiring to do solution be having 50% of the banner background just be copypastes of one tiny area in the corner of a banner?

Maybe you want to elaborate a bit, because I don't exactly know what you mean.

Don't understand why they don't put this in when you've done all the leg work, must be too busy buffing 2h.
