Cougar69 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Hello, I'm writing to find out if you guys made a change in the way the game handle the squad.xml file. In 1.05 I could set 1 SquadXml folder for each player and have them display there name on our squad badge so we could know who were who. Now in 1.07 it doesn't seem to work the same way it did before. Now it seem like the first Person who enters the server with the same squad name as yours gives you there logo too even if each of them has a different image as logo. Im wondering is it a bug or the function will be like this permanently. If it's the second option, are you planning to give us the option in the squad.xml file to add different logo on arm patch? Thank You Cougar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC-Smokey 0 Posted May 11, 2007 I can't get the squad image to work at all. It's reading the data in the XML file, but doesn't pull the picture. I read through the wiki on it, but I'm not sure if there is something with the picture file that I'm not doing right. I can't find too much information out there about using it.

Synide 0 Posted May 16, 2007 @TLC-Smokey... does the first few lines of your xml look like this? <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE squad SYSTEM "squad.dtd"> <?xml-stylesheet href="squad.xsl?" type="text/xsl"?> if so... then you probably want to change it too... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE squad SYSTEM "http://someurl/squad.dtd"> <?xml-stylesheet href="htpp://someurl/squad.xsl?" type="text/xsl"?> @Cougar69... Don't seem to be seeing anything similar here... maybe a beta patch problem as u say... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Synide 0 Posted May 23, 2007 eg. in a folder on your webserver... file 1.       recce.xml              bob's details              joe's details              flugalbinder's details file 2.       1sec.xml              norman's details              humperdink's details              ralph's details file 3.       support.xml              harry's details              peter's details              sally's details file 4.       squad.dtd file 5.       squad.xsl file 6.       recce.paa file 7.       1sec.paa file 8.       support.paa each .xml file has in it's header the url pointing to where to find the squad.dtd and squad.xsl. NOTE: the references to the .dtd and .xsl in the .xml files is only there for for use by your webserver in the case where you may want to 'display' the details of the given .xml on your clan's internal website. the ArmA game makes no use of these files. so at a very minimum your given xml file could look like... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><?xml version="1.0"?> <squad nick="TAT">  <name>The A-Team</name>  <email></email>  <web>www.theAteam.com</web>  <picture>somepic.paa</picture>  <title></title>  <member id="54" nick="Humperdink">    <name></name>    <email></email>    <icq></icq>    <remark></remark>  </member> </squad> Also, you can 'host' these files off of an FTP server and not just a Web server.

Morticus 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Ok so i sorted out all the files on the web server etc. but how to you get the client PC to look at the xml files on the server? The BI page says something about editing a clan page/field i find no such fields. so could anyone tell me where i am going wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Synide 0 Posted May 23, 2007 When in-game, from the main menu goto your 'User Profile', press the 'edit' button and place the url to your .xml file there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zootia 0 Posted May 23, 2007 This is kinda not related to the problem the TS mentioned, but anyone else crashing when they see a squad patch? One of our clan mates for some reason, everytime somebody with a squadpatch gets in a vehicle, crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morticus 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Thanks mate sorted that now but the picture is a black patch not a picture So i recon there may be a problem some where either the pic or the xml. i think its the picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
