Group ID in MP lobby - can it be changed?

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to change the Group ID (1-1-A) in the multiplayer lobby (where you select the different roles)?

i think that is the description in the unit window line.

or try opening up mission.sqm and manually edit, at least you can edit order there.

@Strikor; No, and yes; I am using setGroupID - and that works as a charm. However, no matter where I use it, it seems that it will never change the group names/id in the MP lobby; it always says 1-1-A, 1-1-B, etc...

@Demonized; Again, no - and yes; I can enter the team name there, but the "heading" for each team still displays "1-1-A", etc., and that is cause for some confusion. I would like it to display something like this;

Dragon team <-- this is what I want instead of 1-1-A>

Dragon 1 (Team lead) <--- These are ok, used in the units description field.>

Dragon 2 (Radio)

Lion team <-- Again.. instead of 1-1-B>

Lion 1 (team lead)

Lion 2 (M203)

...

Now, the Dragon 1, Dragon 2, Lion 1, Lion 2, etc, is no problem - that is what is entered in the description (here I use a reference to a stringtable)...

Regards,

Hundred times discussed...

I bet there are many things discussed a hundred times. I always do a lot of research (wikis, forums, etc.) before making use of the forums - so if I didn't do a good enough job, I'm really sorry to fill up the forums with duplicates. Not everybody spend their whole life on a forum knowing everything...

Thanks for the feedback anyway, good to know.

PS! As for the search function @ BIS forums; not always good to find what your looking for. Often people use poor titles (as do I), and not always easy to find the correct wording... Further, spending a lot of time reading through threads after threads looking for an answer can be painful, and I therefore tend to post the question for a hopefully quick answer...

I don't think that is the case, some time ago I could recall some Domination servers having custom group ID names or something...

I had a go at using setgroupid and all I managed to change was the group name on sidechat, I don't know why the role menu reports stuff like "1-1-C" when the actual group name is different..

Interesting, but I'm not sure if that could be a default property of Domination since it's only a few servers..?
