I cannot download from your mirror, neither with GetRight nor with IE's builtin download client.

What exactly does this addon do and affect?

[calm_terror 0]

it allows different group names

instead of jsut alpha-red or whatever it can be one of those listed

[Grizzlie 0]

Very nice one

U can name your air support "hawk" and in radio messages they will be hawks not alpha red or something like this

[raedor 8]

Version: 1.2

Date: 17.10.2004

Usually in OFP units and groups are named like "Alpha Black","Foxtrott Red" or "Hotel Green".

For I think that's not very telling I created the custom callsigns. What does this Addon?

Well, it multiplies your possibilities for group IDs.

Firstly I added the rest of the NATO alphabet letters (e.g. India, Juliett, Romeo etc.).

Additionally I added some more call signs, e.g. Unit and function names (SEAL, Ranger, Recon, Scout)

There are animal code names as well, like lion, eagle, shark. The animal codenames are available in

english, french and german language.

Instead of adding more or other colours I inclueded all the NATO alphabet letters again enabling

you to have combinations of letters like Victor Uniform, Juliett Whisky and so on.

Additionally I added some numbers: zero up to nine, team names like Team A to D, Fireteam 1 to 4,

you got the idea. The numbers are available in english, french and german language, too.

Combining the standard callsigns and colours gives you a lot new possibilities in naming groups,

examples being:

"Ranger Chalk 1"

"Delta Fireteam 3"

"SpetzNatz Demolitionteam 1"

"Eagle Black"

"Super 62"

How to use these Callsigns in the editor or a script? Simply with the setGroupID command, like you're

used to: groupName SetGroupID ["CallSign","Color"]

example: mygroup SetGroupID ["MAP_Marine","MAP_Fireteam_1"]

CREDITS go to BAS, for the inspiration by their Custom Callsigns with the Tonal addon.

This is an unofficial addon, you know the drill!

Enjoy!

It is small but very useful addon! Nice work mapfact 64

[Billabong81 0]

Great work mapfact! Will certainly add more diversity to missions .

[Ranger Bob 0]

Very nice! Adds a little diversity to the game.

[the_shadow 0]

just for me the demos doesnt work when i prewiev them?

get the old "Alpha Black 1" and so on...

Sounds like you accidentally did not place the addon PBO file in the correct addon folder.

[raedor 8]

Sounds like you accidentally did not place the addon PBO file in the correct addon folder.

exactly. you have to put the pbo in ofp\addons or ofp\res\addons. or, if you are running it with mod folders check if the mod folder is "started".

[the_shadow 0]

i put the PBO in my "mapfact" folder, wich is started as i could use the other Mapfact addons

i´ll check again though, i might have put some other mapfact addon in multiple folders..

[edit] ahh, yes.. you where right... i had forgotten to start the folder..

works nice now

[raedor 8]

ok, fine

[the_shadow 0]

well, got a problem (dont know if i made it right though)

i want to use this in a mission, but the names stay the same as usual...

i have 4 squads wich uses these names..

first 3 are support squads (arty) that i want to have the callsigns EE, EF and EG..

in the editor i have named them arty1, art2 and arty3 (eg arty1 = group this in the init field)

then in my init.sqs i have put the following lines

leader arty1 setGroupID ["MAP_Echo_1","MAP_Echo_1"]

leader arty2 setGroupID ["MAP_Echo_1","MAP_Foxtrot_1"]

leader arty3 setGroupID ["MAP_Echo_1","MAP_Golf_1"]

the last squad is a FO squad (player squad, will call in the arty fire)

named OA in the editor (OA = group this)

and i put

leader OA setGroupID ["MAP_Oskar_1","MAP_Alpha_1"]

in the init.sqs.

(note, all these units got their group names in the editor way before your addon where releaced)

but, i still get names like "Alpha green 1", "Bravo Blue 1" and so on in game...

what have i made wrong?

(the "leader OA setGroupID ["MAP_Oskar_1","MAP_Alpha_1"]" is put at the top of the init.sqs since i have som other stuff in there too)

[343rdBadger 0]

I haven't been able to figure out this addon either???...can someone put this in layman terms for us?Maybe a step by step tutortrial,its confusing as hell trying to figure just what goes where.And the mission demo doesn't seem to work either,all I hear is a radio crackle.

[raedor 8]

@343rdBadger: check the tutorial missions included and the readme.

@the_shadow: try this:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">leader arty1 setGroupID ["MAP_HW","MAP_Echo_1"]

leader arty2 setGroupID ["MAP_FireBase","MAP_Foxtrot_1"]

leader arty3 setGroupID ["MAP_Fox","MAP_Golf_1"]

leader OA setGroupID ["MAP_Oskar","MAP_Alpha_1"]does that work out?

[the_shadow 0]

i could try, but it´s not the callsigns i want ;)

the arty unit MUST have EE, EF and EG ;)

hrm.. you cant combine "colour" with "colour"

you must have "letter" "colour"

i guess ME, MF, MG will have to do then...

to bad you didnt have all Nato letters both on as letter and colour...

hope you implement that for the next version ;)

i think, A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H is missing under letter category..

but they are under colour...

thats why its not possible to have EE, EF and EG as i wanted..

*not to self, read the readme better next time*

[KTottE 0]

Don't do "leader arty1", just do:

arty1 setGroupID["blah","blah"]

As you can see here: http://www.ofpec.com/editors/comref.php?letter=S#setGroupId

The setGroupID takes a GROUP as it's first parameter, not a groupleader.
