Changing default soldier names

[cnivison 0]

I am creating a mission in which I need to change the default soldier names in my platoon (their names are listed under a tab in the MAP screen). I remember briefly finding something on that topic related to one of the init .HTML files, but I can no longer find it. HELP!

In the soldiers Initialization field type this way.

this setidentity "your name"

then make description.ext

class CfgIdentities

{

class your name

{

name = "your name";

face = "Face7";

glasses="None";

speaker = "Adam";

pitch = 1.10;

};

class next name

{

name = "next name";

face = "Face7";

glasses="None";

speaker = "Greg";

pitch = 1.05;

};

                       

                                   .

                                   .

                                   .

};

Will the name appear in radio messages when you use setidentity? Example: Alpha Black One (Billy Bob) "bla bla"

I have another question related to this.. you can set the face to one of the available faces.. is it possible to add a custom face like you do with flags.. put them in the mission folder?

Yes it will, but remember, that name ONLY shows up when it is the player speaking, not any AI squadmates.

A new game for you ?

Woah... I didn't even look at the date on this one. WTF?

How did Placebo miss the one?!

Edit: Truth is it got people to ask relevant questions.

Which is why I left this one and perhaps one other

I think you use the setId command if you want that....
