Change TS3 nicknames from profile name to steamID 64

Open sp9dev opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Is it possible to set up TFAR in a way, that instead of changing TS3 name to Arma 3 Profile Name, it would change player's TS3 nickname to thair steamID64?

Set the players ingame name to that. TFAR uses whatever name player returns.

@sp9dev it is also relativly easy to find all places that name or profileName is used and replace them by something else (just search trough all files for it).

I dont know if looking at the teamspeak channel for information on whom you are talking to/who is in the vicinity is a relevant problem for the milsim community (which TFAR is primarily intended for as far as i know), i guess its mostly a problem for everythign RPG based.

If @dedmen approves i would try to open a pull request to handle the naming over a variable on the player and therfore allow customization trough this ?

I wanted to decouple TS and ingame names anyway. There is no technical limitation that requires having same names, just a human worktime limitation.
