456820 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Well I know in OFP that you could change squad names or the name of HQ all via the stringtable. However is this still possible in ArmA if so what needs to go into the stringtable as I assume its all changed since OFP. In OFP you also had Papabear and Firefly, is there only one HQ in ArmA or is there another? If so whats its name? Also how do I make a totaly blank screen for example at the start of a mission so the screen is black? I have tried doing a long fade in/out but in ArmA this doesnt seem to work. Cheers.

CarlGustaffa 4 Posted October 8, 2007 http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/sideChat Way down on page for strings that work. I've tried them, but don't know if they are any problems now in 1.08 Edit: But I've only managed to get two "stations" to work simutaniously, unfortunately. I tend to use gruipID's for squadnames, but if it's a general string I assume you can do this via stringtable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted October 8, 2007 Well my stringtable looks like this... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">LANGUAGE, ENGLISH STR_CFG_PAPABEAR, PAPABEAR STR_CFG_FIREFLYBASE, FIREFLY STR_CFG_GRPNAMES_NOVEMBER, NIGHT SCORPION I want HQ to be called "Papabear" instead of "Crossroad" and I want to rename Group november to "Night Scorpion". I even checked the ArmA stringtable to check if the names were all correct which they are. I assigned the squad with November using the groupID but all the names still have default names.

CarlGustaffa 4 Posted October 9, 2007 Sounds scary. Is it the group id using custom names that is broken or using stringtables to do it that is broken? I'm using custom groupnames through setting groupids in an earlier mission I made (for self only), I have to check if this mission still works in 1.08.
