Title: New 1.05 Command:distributionRegion
Post by: FreeBird on 05 Mar 2007, 19:48:17

Testing is the only way,so pls post the result of:

Code: [Select]

hint format["%1" ,distributionRegion]
I have the German Metaboli Download version:result=2

One possible thing that can be done with it is checking the region/language  and passing briefing/instructions accordingly  :scratch:

AFAIK, ArmA already does that, as long as you have your language settings as appropriate (and in custom missions, your stringtable set up!). I really have no idea what that command might be good for.  ??? Nice find, anyway.

Wolfrug out.

The comref says it's for release regions, 1 = US and 2 = the rest ..

What you can use it for is beyond me though  :dunno:

Meh I was hoping that Germany-Poland-UK-Czech-Russia ... all would have a different number... ::)

So if a Polish player was detected,U could present him a Polish Briefing.. :sorry:

If someone happens to care:

Just noticed where this command is used. It's used in the startup.sqs to show different loading screens depending on the distribution region.
So if the game is US version it gets the "Armed Assault: Combat Operations" screens while other regions get the regular ArmA stuff..

And btw,

Like Wolfrug said ArmA does this automatically already, all language localisations have their own briefings..
briefing.Polish.html for example.
