Hey guys, i'm the creator of armasquads.com :)

but the xsl file is markes as optional why does it marked as invalid then? make no sense

thanks for this info.

btw: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=22506

need some attention too. it is clearly a bug but within 3 or 4 months now nothing changed or was even updated. i get a equal count on reports for this issue as for http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=22506

thanks

can you please be more specific with this "incorrect format" - i created armasquads.com and from the wiki page it indicates no visible changes...but i get reports that xml files don't work on linux and perf build.

a blank squad xml is provided here:

http://armasquads.com/user/squads/xml/a9QO9lmiDjeo7jnHimcSlE87QyJ9rHoL/squad.xml

or i'm missing something?

Can't test it directly by myself but from inspecting the logs i can guess that it worked, as i get now more requests to squad logos from "flashpoint" agends then before

I don't own a server, so unfortunately i can't test the fix by myself. If anyone owns a server and can setup the dev branch - ping me here or on twitter and i give my best to assist you.

MountainRat i looked into your account, indeed the paa files where never requested, but the access log shows that gameserver download the paa files from other squad xml files, so the host shouldn't be the problem in the first place.

Adam can you confirm the different User Agent between Windows and Linux Servers? ( http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=22506#c88784 )
Also is it possible to get new/updated information what charset the squad xml really can process, what is the max string length for each xml entry. The Wiki doesn't give us much detailed !technical! information about this. (ONLY FOR THE NICK FIELD)

In which version this issue should be fixed?

Thanks dedmen for this check.
So the problem is still present.

please notice comment http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=22506#c88784 - there is no issue with generating squad xmls dynamicly, the main problem is that the gameclient don't request squad xml logos when the server is running linux.

i don't have a linux server so i can't test if this problem is still present or fixed.

@dedmen could you please test this on your server and check against my comment linked above, please?

this clearly annoying people, any news on this?

any new infos on this`?

hi i'm the creator of armasquads.com.
can confirm this too - i get many issue requests from squad xmls that do not work even when squad xml 100% correct.

we did some reseach with mjmfighter - this are the facts:

tested with arma 3 gameserver

[windows os server]
squad information works - squad logo works.
request squad xml files over http 1.1 and requesting the squad paa file that is linked in the xml file. Don't require a Content-Length response header.

use the server agent "BIGameEngine"

server logs:

85.XXX.XXX.XX - - [08/Mar/2015:19:30:39 +0100] "GET /user/squads/xml/a9QO9lmiDjeo7jnHimcSlE87QyJ9rHoL/squad.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 430 "-" "BIGameEngine"
85.XXX.XXX.XX - - [08/Mar/2015:19:30:39 +0100] "GET /user/squads/xml/a9QO9lmiDjeo7jnHimcSlE87QyJ9rHoL/5261bf940045df40818905a34f9bcc8a.paa HTTP/1.1" 200 5625 "-" "BIGameEngine"

[linux server]
squad information works - squad logo is not displayed.
request squad xml files over http 1.0 and _do not_ request the squad paa file that is linked in the xml file. Require a Content-Length response header - otherwise the squad xml won't work completely.

use the server agent "Flashpoint/1.91"

server logs:

194.XXX.X.XX - - [08/Mar/2015:19:31:49 +0100] "GET /user/squads/xml/a9QO9lmiDjeo7jnHimcSlE87QyJ9rHoL/squad.xml HTTP/1.0" 200 430 "-" "Flashpoint/1.91"

• missing squad paa request --

used squad xml:

http://armasquads.com/user/squads/xml/a9QO9lmiDjeo7jnHimcSlE87QyJ9rHoL/squad.xml

it looks like the codebase for the arma linux servers are older or use a older version from flashpoint.
