its hard to read in from a document

i'll look at how it reads the config files though maybe that would work

well dr, it's what i proposed, maybe i will have to do by myself i have no time to play with arma code right now, but my c++ skills are enough 4 it and anything

Not that hard, I can try to do it and send you the hacked team.cpp...

sure, send it my way. I'll try it out.

done.

add this below se_team_name declaration in eTeam.cpp :
static tString se_team_name_param[TEAMCOLORS]=
{ static_cast<tString>(""),
static_cast<tString>(""),
static_cast<tString>(""),
static_cast<tString>(""),
static_cast<tString>(""),
static_cast<tString>(""),
static_cast<tString>(""),
static_cast<tString>("")
};
static tSettingItem<tString> se_team1_nameConf( "TEAM1_NAME", se_team_name_param[0] );

static tSettingItem<tString> se_team5_nameConf( "TEAM5_NAME", se_team_name_param[4] );
static tSettingItem<tString> se_team6_nameConf( "TEAM6_NAME", se_team_name_param[5] );
static tSettingItem<tString> se_team7_nameConf( "TEAM7_NAME", se_team_name_param[6] );
static tSettingItem<tString> se_team8_nameConf( "TEAM8_NAME", se_team_name_param[7] );


static int se_team_red_param[TEAMCOLORS]={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
static tSettingItem<int> se_team1_redConf( "TEAM1_RED", se_team_red_param[0] );

static tSettingItem<int> se_team6_redConf( "TEAM6_RED", se_team_red_param[5] );
static tSettingItem<int> se_team7_redConf( "TEAM7_RED", se_team_red_param[6] );
static tSettingItem<int> se_team8_redConf( "TEAM8_RED", se_team_red_param[7] );

static int se_team_green_param[TEAMCOLORS]={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};

static tSettingItem<int> se_team5_greenConf( "TEAM5_GREEN", se_team_green_param[4] );
static tSettingItem<int> se_team6_greenConf( "TEAM6_GREEN", se_team_green_param[5] );
static tSettingItem<int> se_team7_greenConf( "TEAM7_GREEN", se_team_green_param[6] );
static tSettingItem<int> se_team8_greenConf( "TEAM8_GREEN", se_team_green_param[7] );

static int se_team_blue_param[TEAMCOLORS]={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
static tSettingItem<int> se_team1_blueConf( "TEAM1_BLUE", se_team_blue_param[0] );

static tSettingItem<int> se_team8_blueConf( "TEAM8_BLUE", se_team_blue_param[7] );

and replace update_appearance function by this :
// update name and color
void eTeam::UpdateAppearance()
{
unsigned short oldr = r, oldg = g, oldb = b;

ePlayerNetID* oldest = OldestHumanPlayer();
if ( !oldest )
{
oldest = OldestAIPlayer();
}

// vote on team name: color or leader?
int voteName = 0;

int i;
for ( i = players.Len()-1; i>=0; --i )
{
if ( players(i)->IsHuman() && ( players(i) != oldest && players(i)->nameTeamAfterMe ) )
voteName++;
}

bool nameTeamColor = players.Len() > 1 && ( voteName * 2 < players.Len() || !oldest );

if ( !IsHuman() )
nameTeamColor = false;
if ( !se_allowTeamNameColor )
nameTeamColor = false;
if ( !se_allowTeamNamePlayer )
nameTeamColor = true;

nameTeamColor = NameTeamAfterColor ( nameTeamColor );

if ( oldest )
{
if ( nameTeamColor )
{
// team name determined by color
tOutput newname;
// Change by voodoo
// newname << se_team_name[ colorID ];
newname << se_team_name_param[ colorID ];
name = newname;
// Change by voodoo
// r = se_team_rgb[colorID][0];
// g = se_team_rgb[colorID][1];
// b = se_team_rgb[colorID][2];
r = se_team_red_param[colorID];
g = se_team_green_param[colorID];
b = se_team_blue_param[colorID];
}
else
{
// let oldest player own a human team
if ( IsHuman() )
{
if ( players.Len() > 1 )
{
if ( sn_GetNetState() != nSERVER )
oldest->UpdateName();
tOutput newname;
newname.SetTemplateParameter( 1, oldest->GetName() );
newname << "$team_owned_by";

name = newname;
}
else
{
name = oldest->GetName();
}
}
else
{
// it's the AI team
name = tOutput("$team_ai");
}

r = oldest->r;
g = oldest->g;
b = oldest->b;

// update colored player names
if ( sn_GetNetState() != nSERVER )
{
for ( i = players.Len()-1; i>=0; --i )
{
players(i)->UpdateName();
}
}
}
}
else
{
// empty team
name = tOutput("$team_empty");
r = g = b = 7;
}

/* z-man: no longer required

if ( oldest )

}
}
*/

RequestSync();

// update team members if the color changed
if ( oldr != r || oldg != g || oldb != b )
{
for ( int i = players.Len() - 1; i >= 0; --i )
{
players(i)->UpdateName();
}
}
}


add this to autoexec.cfg (or any valid config file) and set it as you like :

# Teams name and colors settings ...
TEAM1_NAME "Team blue"
TEAM1_RED 4
TEAM1_GREEN 8
TEAM1_BLUE 15
TEAM2_NAME "Team gold"
TEAM2_RED 15
TEAM2_GREEN 15
TEAM2_BLUE 4
TEAM3_NAME "Team red"
TEAM3_RED 15
TEAM3_GREEN 4
TEAM3_BLUE 4
TEAM4_NAME "Team green"
TEAM4_RED 4
TEAM4_GREEN 15
TEAM4_BLUE 4
TEAM5_NAME "Team violet"
TEAM5_RED 15
TEAM5_GREEN 4
TEAM5_BLUE 15
TEAM6_NAME "Team ugly"
TEAM6_RED 4
TEAM6_GREEN 15
TEAM6_BLUE 15
TEAM7_NAME "Team white"
TEAM7_RED 15
TEAM7_GREEN 15
TEAM7_BLUE 15
TEAM8_NAME "Team black"
TEAM8_RED 7
TEAM8_GREEN 7
TEAM8_BLUE 7

Better gimme an email to send it to you

cool, gj vd , ed's time

wow you fast at that

HOLY CRAP I DIDNT UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE TOPIC! AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOOD AT COMPUTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

voodoo i understand the last bit about autoexec.cfg and the team colours etc

u should be a server tech/ techie!

kewl voodoo!

did u play with arma code earlier before, or was this your first time? looks good!


Was this C++ ??

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks Voodoo.
My email is ed at plantpeanuts.co.uk.

well why not? i will make him server tech.

Welcome Voodoo

Well here a few answers :
Yes, that's C++ (arma is no )
I'm checking arma coding and play a bit with it. Im quite comfortable with settings stuff...
I just add the new settings (biggest part) and change a few lines in a function to set new vars instead of old one. No big deal.

Thx for including me in the tech team

good job!
