I was wondering if there was any way I can get my Army icon back?
Back in 2.8.5 I just had to enter in my @us.army.mil email and confirm it, can I still do that?
Thanks
-
Unfortunately, no. Everything account related is handled by battletracker and the few icon we have are for server admins,donators, etc. It would definitely be possible to do it, I'm just not sure if anyone is willing to.
-
Well I figure I would have horrible luck getting it from them so Ill just say forget about it haha

Yeah, we would need battletracker to track military emails and give out icons accordingly. Definitely possible, I'm just not sure how active they are over there though.

Cant he prove to you guys by sending an email from his gov email? You have control over in game icons, do you not?

We do, but we don't currently have a U.S. Army in-game icon set up. All that was lost when the official auth went down. We would need pit to add it, which shouldn't be that hard. I guess we could take requests, we already do it for honor.

That would be great I would love to have it back haha

Why don't you PM me your e-mail address, I'll send you an e-mail (so we can verify you have access to it) and then you can help me test the various icons to see which is the Active Service one or whatever it's called.
-
I'm trying to find a list of the in-game military icons but I'm not having much luck.

Don't worry. Once we verify his e-mail, we'll give him icons and have him report back which are which since I'm too lazy and careless to open the game and check myself.
-
Since we already started assigning different meanings to the icons (and may also come up with some further uses), I understand we should only have single icon used for 'active duty', not different icons for different duty types (like originally), right?

That's what I was thinking. We should also give one for veteran. So just two icons for military active and veteran.

I'd start with one. There aren't that many left, so maybe it's better to save them for other purposes, like e.g. the medals assigned in competitions (I already wrote about it in some other topic).
-
And when we will want to add special 'veteran' icon, let's just reuse the current 'AA veteran' icon, as it is redundant and mostly useless (100+ honor speaks for itself).

I like that idea. I never liked how you got an icon for being 100 honor.

I will help test any icons aswell.. I only play every night :P

PM sent and I will definitely help out lol

It's easy to change the graphic of any icons. As for adding new icons, that takes a bit of more work since the code is strung across a bunch of game files.

So... #8 for real life veterans?

I guess it is. Although I have no idea what it looks like.

Great now I have to poke the bastard on Teamspeak till he gets on..

Edit:
I can see these icons interfering with the Player Admin Icons, why do PA's have icons anyways?
Seems like a way of letting hackers know admins are around, which is good and bad.. bad if you are trying to catch them off guard :+

Now now, somebody's data is wrong. I just changed it to #5, see if that works. If not then it might be hard-coded in the Assist auth to only use the 3 or 4 icons out of the 12 and Pit might have to change this.

I know #8 didn't work in .8.5 either, #5 might.. Testing

Or could be in one of the U files and then you know what that means.

Whatever you did it works now, but for future reference if you are logged into a server as a PA it will only show the PA, which is fine with me I just wanted it to work again :D

Cool. Good to see it working. And yes we know about the Player Admin thing. Months ago when Spanky and I used to dick around, it was useful to see who was player admin in the server rather than our developer icons. Although I believe we can move over the icon to make room for other icons. That is, if the player admin icon overlaps.

The PA Icon is there instead of the Army Icon..
If you could make two icons appear, that would be epic!
Now, how much of a donation needs to be gave to get the PB Icon.. >:D

A cash deposit of $100 into my Paypal account can accomplish this for you.
Back to the Army icon, I changed him to #5 so that's the one we can use for real veterans.

How about AAO25.com Internal Anti-Cheat Members use the PB Icon?
Thoughts?
It does make sense..

Na, that's just a waste. Especially since our anti-cheat has nothing to do with PB.

As of right now, there is only 1 person that I know of on the anti-cheat staff that doesn't fall under the dev category.

Back on topic of verification;
Trouble with .mil email accounts is the person in the military can create secondary accounts called "Sponsored Accounts".
This means anyone who knows someone in the military can ask them to create a "Family Member Sponsored Account" which will give that person there own .mil email and access to the branch portal.
Then all they do is simply sign register to battletracker, and you will have an in game Military Icon without being in the military.
Very sad, but was a major issue in the old official AA2 auth days.
There is also a more trickier way where you google for military social security numbers and probe the military signup screen to see if that person has already signed up. If they haven't, you will then have a full working .mil email and be able to create .mil emails for all your friends.
In closing the verification needed for military accounts is far to difficult to police, far to easy to bypass and hard to validate non US military (if need be).
Just food for thought. :)
-

That's not how it works. The OP of this topic has THE ONLY Army icon in the entire game because he's the only one that's requested it. It doesn't matter what e-mail you use to register with BattleTracker, they're just for account and statistics. The Assist auth server controls icons and honor modification.
Still though, it's only just an icon...
