BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia multiplayer problem

[Dzou Sisohvat 0]

I am asking this instead of my fellow clan member who has the problem. He still doesn't have the right to post new content, so I am helping him.

 

In a custom made mission I have included custom unit insignias that are being called at player respawn. Insignia works for every player locally (everyone sees their own patch on the shoulder), but the problem is that other players sometimes can't see them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it seems pretty random.

in "description.ext"

class CfgUnitInsignia

	class Mrljavci

		displayName = "9. mrcinaÄki vod Mrljavci";
		author = "*NOB* Prpa";

	class Delta

};

The question is - Why does it happen, and how to fix it?

I am member in question, thank you for posting.

Everything is in first post, anyone can help?

Does this work if you are not using any mods?

Have noticed it also, both with Base patches and modded ones. As they said, sometimes show, sometimes don't. Tried with remoteExec but no change in result.

Nope, same problem again.

 

P.S. Love your blog, it's great source of informations. Read it all though didn't understand half of it :)

[kylania 567]

understood half of it :)

 

Ha!  You're doing pretty well then. :)

Haha I wish. Sadly, it's just an expression :(

Im having this issue as well. 

I've used this in missions description.ext file:

class CfgUnitInsignia
{
class NRFID
{
displayName = "NATO RESPONSE FORCE";
author = "Ulfgaar";
texture = "NRF.paa";
textureVehicle = "";
};
};

I've produced the .paa image file, which is stored in the missions folder - and then i use this in the units init field:

[this,"NRFID"] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;

When i test it localy from the editor, the unit i control shows the patch, as well as all AI units that are supposed to have it. When i test it in multiplayer from the editor, everything is as it should be as well. But when i export it as an multiplayer file and test it on my dedicated server - it does not work. No patches show up at all, not on the one i control, nor on any of the AI's that should have it. 

Im just at a loss here - so if anyone finds a solution for this, i'd like to know.
