@kripto202 Awesome site! Got it bookmarked now. Nonetheless, there are many issues yet with squad.xml that need to be addressed. My suggestion here is that when BI gets around to modernizing it the best thing to do is to switch to JSON because of how outdated XML is. ArmA asks for a Squad URL; that's web jurisdiction. In web, XML is pretty much deprecated in favor of JSON.

There's a good bit of disagreement with this that's focused mostly on two points: 1. XML works fine, don't do anything to it (Including inconvenience to current squad.xml users) and 2. It's difficult to implement. Though XML does work fine, again, squad.xml as a whole needs to be addressed and revamped anyways. This leads into the second point, JSON is not difficult to implement at all. Every modern language can access JSON with ease.

Even with this, I don't want the focus to be lost from the 4 original points I made. JSON is simply the best choice for data transfer involving the web.

@Lex None of that information is real, it was all in jest.

I wasn't able to upload it but here's a really simple example of what JSON looks like.

{

  "squad": {
    "name": "Best Squad 2015",
    "email": "best@5starsquad.com",
    "url": "http://5starsquad.com",
    "picture": "amazing.png",
    "tagline": "We'll knock your socks off",

    "members": {
      "Scroll_Tro0L": {
        "steam_id": 1234125234523456,
        "role": "20-star general of sooper special forces",
        "email": "theman@5starsquad.com",
        "icq": "nobody uses icq anymore, just have a link to their steam profile instead",
        "remark": "ppl beware me"
      },

      "Sidekick": {
        "steam_id": 12423234234563,
        "role": "Tactical snack manager",
        "email": "donuts@5starsquad.com",
        "icq": false,
        "remark": "omg I'm FAMOUS!"
      }

    }

  }

}

An alternative could be a level or "zero" option on the mortars to have them automatically account for the slope they're on. For the Mortar though, considering that it has feet that are adjustable there should be an option to mechanically level it since I'm sure the real stuff has bubble levels.
