sqd. patches

[orion]

hi,

In tacedit,Units has a section (squadron/squadron page/squad patch= ) that you can input patch number.And we can assign the sqd.patch by giving different numbers. No matter what number I input, the patch remains same. I think, that refers to the patches.idx, patches.irc and patches.rsc files and squadron names get their patches from those files. To be able to change the squadron patches, I used the perl scripts and extract the TGA images. If I name the squadron which is the same as the squadron patch name (TGA file name) I can change the squadron patch on CAMPAIGN.
But if I name the squadron other than the file name, Patch remains as BUSHMASTER.

(Example:there is a _119TH_FW_.tga, and if I name a sq. 119, patch changes. But if I name the sq. 118, patch does not change.)

I wonder if there is any way to edit sq.patches so that I could name the sq. and its patch will be shown on Campaign.

maybe do search in ODS forum?

new patches could be wrapped in order by some util by Julian? and that Sq patch number, IIRC from 1-53 or 54?, means totally 54 Sq patch slots.

when key in some realworld Sq nubmer, some equation is used to generated a number between 1-54, which refer to the order you packing sq patch gif.
