[Template ArmA 3] for file "squad.xml"

[KissDavid 10]

- I created a new template for the file "squad.xml". It allows to display the file in the browser to display information about the team but also all members of the squad.

- The old template available on the wiki BIS did not display enough information (although they are visible via the browser by reading the file) and use the entire width of the screen.

- It's a litte update of my template for ArmA 2.

- The template work fine in Chrome / Firefox and Opera.

The template is available in download here: http://www.grif-touch.com/2967/arma-3-template-pour-le-squad-xml/

I'm getting the tags and everything working but I'm not getting the logo to show up properly. Any suggestions.

you need to be a bit more specific, have you placed the logo in your folder called it logo.paa (convert with texview2), and also named it logo.paa in the squad.xml picture?

If you want me to take a look im more than happy to.

[Faith 1]

Yep thats right as Dale had said, that is why you are not seeing your logo appear

[BushWookie 10]

the links dont work for me :(

Once you have gone here go down the page till you get to "Vous pouvez le télécharger ici:"

the link on the end of that is the download.

If you need help setting it up just ask and ill do my best.

The only part that dosent work for me is the image never shows up in the MP ingame profile ?

[dale 11]

is it showing up on vehicles?

If not then its possible you haven't changed the either the file name and the xml file name, its also possible that you haven't converted the file into a paa format.

[SnR 1]

Thanks dale, its shows everywhere but the ingame profile ?

Cool TNKS

[dale 11]

there might be an issue with the sizing then, it needs to be exactly 512x512

[fasterthanlight 10]

Nice work!

I have it working great. How can I edit the CSS so that the PID's don't show externally?

[dale 11]

I can do it and send you the link via pm.

[daskunk 1]

hi dale ty for this good job, i would also like the uid's to not show up could you show me how please.

[SnR 1]

Hiding the UID's would be a nice touch, Tried 512 from 256 and still see no image in MP profile.

[daskunk 1]

i have no image profile or vehicle image either :s

[daskunk 1]

ok images working now :) would like some advice on hiding the uid number ty

Setting the transparency of the logo was a bit of a mission had to save for web in photoshop and save as png 24 to get the transparency to work

[dale 11]

aye ill send via PM :) @SnR are you sure you are using paa? you need to convert a png to paa using TexView2

Another issue could be that you have missed a piece of code in the squad.xml?

<picture></picture> <<<it needs to be exactly as thus

[SnR 1]

Yes mate since 2009 :D i just tried 128x128 same issue, all works except in the MP profile.

With dales help i have found an issue with the the title of my users directory. This title is causing a continuous error and xml issues.

Error position: <\Users\S >  Error Invalid number in expression
Unknown entity: ' T\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha\squads\AEF\aef.paa' /><br/><img image='#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,0.1)' height='1' width='640' /><br /><font color='#99ffffff' face='PuristaLight'>Ping:</font>    249    253    263<br/><font color='#99ffffff' face='PuristaLight'>Bandwidth:</font>    344    668   1505<br/><font color='#99ffffff' face='PuristaLight'>Desync:</font>      0<br/>'
Error in expression <C:\Users\S >
 Error position: <\Users\S >
 Error Invalid number in expression

Mind you this is the same directory i had with Arma 2 with no issue. C:\Users\S & T\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha

My question is how do i change the title of a folder (S&T) that is windows locked down (secure)
