Folk ARPS Squad XML (for ArmA 2)
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 4:45 pm
What is the Folk ARPS Squad XML?
It's something that allows you to wear FA clan-tags in game and puts the FA tractor symbol on vehicles that you crew. You can read all about it on the biki.
How do I get this thing?
Three and half steps, comrade:
Step 1:
You'll need to create a block of XML for yourself. Start by copy-pasting this chunk of code.
Fill in the values like in the example below (the red text is what you need to add/edit).

Here's a quick guide to the various tags:
Step 2:
Send your XML block to an FA host by PM, and they'll add it to the file on the server.
Step 3:
In your ArmA 2 player profile, enter this URL in the field labelled Squad URL:
Will this work instantly?
Assuming you have executed all these steps and your XML block has been added to the file on the server, it should work.
How can I see if my XML block has been added?
Just browse to http://www.folkarps.com/xml/squad.xml and look for your name in the list.
Will this help us cut down on armoured vehicle friendly fire incidents?
Probably not, comrade.
