Title: [SOLVED] Change the name of player
Post by: snafu on 06 Jul 2008, 19:48:53

Hi,

I'm currently making a mission with the latest Hellenic Warfare Mod and to give the mission a bit more authenticity and immersion I would like to forcibly change the name of the player and his squad members to Greek names.

How would I do this?

Check out the cfgIdentities part of this tutorial (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/beginners/description.php) by Cheetah.

Thanks Bedges. Never noticed that part of the site before.

I've put all the necessary stuff into the description.ext however I get this error when I start the mission;

description.ext, line 12:'.player': 's' encountered instead of '='

This my description file;

If that's the whole description.ext file then you have not properly 'closed' the class Magazines or the class CfgIdentities sections.

Sould look more like this -

Code: [Select]

class Magazines
{
   // Add the magazines to the mission gear
   class 30Rnd_556x45_Stanag { count = 10; };
   class HandGrenade { count = 5; };
   class HWM_HKG3Mag { count = 30; };
   class HWM_FalMag { count = 30; };
};
   

class CfgIdentities
{
    class GeorgePapandreou
    {
        name="George Papandreou";
        face="Face10";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Dan";
        pitch=1.2;
    };

    class KostasKaramanlis
    {
        name="Kostas Karamanlis";
        face="Face11";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Brian";
        pitch=1.0;
    };

    class EleftheriosVenizelos
    {
        name="Eleftherios Venizelos";
        face="Face12";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Mathew";
        pitch=1.1;
    };

    class GeorgiosPapadopoulos
    {
        name="Georgios Papadopoulos";
        face="Face13";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Robert";
        pitch=1.0;
    };

    class NikolaosZachariadis
    {
        name="Nikolaos Zachariadis";
        face="Face14";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Russell";
        pitch=1.2;
    };

    class GeorgeRallis
    {
        name="George Rallis";
        face="Face15";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Dusan";
        pitch=1.1;
    };

    class StylianosPattakos
    {
        name="Stylianos Pattakos";
        face="Face16";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Ryan";
        pitch=1.0;
    };

    class NicoMastorakis
    {
        name="Nico Mastorakis";
        face="Face17";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Howard";
        pitch=1.0;
    };

    class GiorgosSeferis
    {
        name="Giorgos Seferis";
        face="Face18";
        glasses="None";
        speaker="Mathew";
        pitch=1.0;
    };
};
It's good practice to indent your code so that errors like that are easier for you to spot.
