Gibsonm Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Hi, After trawling through numerous release notes I found that Infantry training levels are defined as "Elite, Regular, Conscript, Milita and Untrained" That is fine except in the Mission Editor the options are "A, B, C, D and E" Does A = Elite or does A = Untrained?

Members Ssnake Posted January 30, 2018 Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 A is best, E is worst. One can easily memorize it: Alite Begular Conscript Dilita UntrainEd ... uh, well ... shoot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks. Also took the liberty of updating the Wiki with the respective levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond_Villian Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Im curious, where are you seeing these 'training' levels Gibson? I only see 'quality' options like so; 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 This is what I see (note also 4.023): 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted January 30, 2018 Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 "Which" English have you chosen as "your English" in the Options Menu? This may be at the core of the issue. I think we changed the A...E denotion (because it was non-intuitive) in the American English strings definition. But other language files may have escaped that change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think mine is "English (AU)" - unfortunately there isn't a tick or similar mark denoting the current choice. Certainly I just went back and re-chose English (AU) and the A to E range is there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 30, 2018 Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well, you can always review the pstrings.txt for this and other peculiarities and push an update my way (possibly through the AU chain of command if you want to do it by the letter). I mean, we also changed the designation of the 3D characters several times, maybe you find the US American strings better than the original as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 That would seem to be the case (English (US) has the expanded choices). However I had thought that all the language choices were as developed / complete as each other. I'm happy to keep the AU choice now that I know the translation of levels. Also its the language that all the Australian installations are set to, so its our standard - I can't speak to Australians who think they are Americans, but people in WA are "unique". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 30, 2018 Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well, "we" maintain US English, and copy our (new) strings over to "the other Englishs". But we don't revise old strings as we can never be sure if the customer for whom that language option was added will actually appreciate our meddling (more often than not, they don't). So, maintenance of the language files falls back to the main (.mil) customer using that language option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted January 31, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2018 Whoops, I guess we missed updating AU English. We will take a look at it. (Originally it was A,B,C,D,E and we changed it to be more descriptive). As Ssnake said, in the mean time you can adjust the pstrings on your end to say whatever you want it to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 I'm happy to use the translation table we just built: A = Elite B = Regular C = Conscript D = Milita E = Untrained I'm less excited about editing pstrings and then getting it copied to X hundred machines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted January 31, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2018 Ah OK. Yes, that would be a pain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted January 31, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2018 Use domain policy - keep a master pstrings somewhere, then push it out across all the machines at once. If that won't work, there are other alternatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Unfortunatley the network isn't built like that. There are multiple independent networks (roughly one per site). There is no single training WAN that everything is connected to. Nor does that account for the various trainee laptops, issued to soldiers, etc. MUCH easier to wait for release X.XXX and roll it out then when the disruption is worth it.

That's not the idea. We would add a modified pstrings.txt to the next software release, so it gets automatically installed with the next rollout. It's just that such a modification needs to be initiated on your end to make sure it reflects the intent/consent of the Australian program manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have my language preferences set to AU once, but some of the voice acting is terrible (imagine the sound of a cat having its guts pulled out through its arse), so i went back to U.S. option. Also mods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
