GuideZ 1 Posted September 3, 2012 Is there any way to get a name to be automatically appended to a players name? For instance, I am part of clan "RatPack" on my server. When I join my server and in the global channel, I would like it to say "GeorgeSmith-Ratpack(Global): Hey guys!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1747 Posted September 3, 2012 If you mean you want to see the clan name while in the game then the squad.xml is your answer. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/squad.xml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GuideZ 1 Posted September 3, 2012 It'd be cool if there was something to add like colored arm bands to characters, like this squad thing does with logos on vehicles. ---------- Post added at 12:37 ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 ---------- Mmm, Squad.xml seems to only work for some vehicles and such: Was hoping there would be something to actually alter the chat to not only have my name but something like, where george smith is my in-game name,: "GeorgeSmith-Admin: (Global) Hey guys!"

If you set the group and such it will show, for example in game my name shows in chat as 1-1-A: Scarecrow [AAF]: Hi guys. Some groups like Shacktac have multiple ones for each rank so every person has their own Picture and name depending on their rank so some will show as example Beagle [sPC]: Hi guys. Dslyexci [NCO]: Hi guys. or Rommel [FNG]: Hi guys. But as said, you need mutiple squad.xml's to create this effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icewindo 29 Posted September 4, 2012 It'd be cool if there was something to add like colored arm bands to characters, like this squad thing does with logos on vehicles. I dunno if all ArmA2 units have this but some units had clan tags atleast since ArmA1 (maybe even ofp?) . See the "clan" selection here. http://www.pixentral.com/pics/1zyLKvmcQEfO1TfuU1QSncF1m24J1.jpg So it should work in theory allready, I never paid much attention on that though so I really have no idea. Well you could always just check the right arm of players who have a squad.xml :) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
