Squad XML help

[bhaz 0]

Nice, I'm still not sure what causes it, went through a couple of old squad.xml's I had that were having this problem and I just couldn't make it happen.

Just wondering, can you see anyone else's logos? I remember not being able to see any when I had the problem.

Yeah I can see others' logos just fine.

[An Fiach 10]

I didn't have issues seeing others' either.

[An Fiach 10]

Bah, as was pointed out in another thread others cant see it. I dragged the file out to see if the new file would download again and it did but corrupted like before

[lt_darkman 0]

Same for me I'm afraid.

I don't know what else to try.

You know, I'm wondering if it is just an issue with where we are hosting the files, obviously the game can read it so it is either something to do with how it is hosted or how it is downloaded.

Could be, I went through 3 or 4 hosts before mine started working. If you want you can PM me the files and try 'em out on mine? (temporary of course)

[An Fiach 10]

thanks I put it up on Armatech's site and it seems to be working, I'll have to verify with someone on a public server but I had no issues this time on my whisper server

I've got problem with squad.xml. Informations about players doesn't appear on P window (also in lobby as tag after player's nick).

squad.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE squad SYSTEM "squad.dtd">

<squad nick="TAG">

What's wrong with it?

Hi,

I need some help with my squad logo. It's shown accurately on the player info, but on vehicles or infantry u can only see it from certain angles, otherwise u only see a borderline where the logo should be..

this is the .gif i created this .paa from http://freenet-homepage.de/siebte/siebte.paa

Edited August 7, 2009 by jurgass

[zordak 10]

For some extrange reason the logo dont appear in the player info now, but works fine in the vehicles.Happens since 1.03.

[jurgass 10]

didnt work correctly in 1.02&1.03 for me :confused:

[SnR 1]

Same no logo, although team mates could see

[bhaz 0]

I've managed to replicate one of the ways to break squad logos. It seems that any use of the '-profiles' tag has a chance to mess with your client's downloaded .paa files. Almost seems as though it's not looking in the correct position, because all downloaded logos correctly end up at the -profiles\squads folder.

Hey ho together,

SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, AND BUMPING THIS THREAD!

I am having problems with my XML.. I followed this thread just to try if I could get it to work..

The problem is, that everythings shows up but the picture ingame.

- Picture is shown on the weblink though!

- Picture is a .paa file (256x256)

- XML is correctly set up

- Webhoster is a payable hosting ftp

I tried nearly everything...even the manual saving in the squad folder.

I am using Windows XP and set the picture up with fireworks-->GIMP2.0--->TexView 2!

Still wondering if someone of you could correct this for me?

greetings

Hammer

I can pm you the sqd_logo.png file if you want!

thx for any help!

[RomanLord 10]

Same problem for me

Tryied different hostings

Tryied different formats. With JPG or PAA manually copied to squad folder, I see the logo but others player dont see it.

With "normal" PAA I receive the message "could not load......" and any other player that clicks on my name, receive the same error.

The strange thing is that if the PAA file is 4kb, I see in the squad folder that ArmaII download always just 2kb....

Anyone knows a solution for this?

[armatech 8]

check my sig

[RomanLord 10]

check my sig

I already subscribed some hours ago but never received email for activation...:confused:

[RomanLord 10]

It works perfectly with http://sh2.armatechsquad.com/

The problem that I want to know WHY! :D

Why your "hosting" is different from my?

Hosting the XML and the .PAA image on my website, don't load the picture...:j:

@ ZA Sgt.Hammer

Do not use any characters beside A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and space in the nick-attribute inside the squad-element (see Wiki page, Section 3, lit. 2 ). This may lead to strange behaviour e.g. the information from your member-block is displayed but the information from the squad-block is not.

@RomanLord

A possible reason might be that your webhoster only allows "known" MIME types, such html, zip, etc. and paa just isn't on that list... As long as TexView can show it, the paa itself is correct...

[-Total- 0]

Okay, I have tried everything I can.

Photoshop w/ current paa plug.

GIMP to Texview

Nothing is getting the logo to show up ingame. The rest of the info does, but not the logo. I can see other clan's logo's, so I know it's not my firewall.

Using a png, I can view the squad.xml pasge in my web browser.

I just can't get the paa to function correctly lol!

Can some good-hearted soul take the following file and convert it to a 256x256 paa file for me?

http://ripteam.org/misc/crest2.png

Dunno what I doing wrong, but I have a directory full of failed attempts LOL!

Thanks in advance!
