Summary
Pre-creates your community's real squads when the GM assigns faction spawn points, and auto-places players into their own squad. Squad list comes from a server profile text file.
Description
2HGZ Company Squads turns your community's real structure into in-game squads. The moment the Game Master assigns a spawn point to a faction, the squads from your roster file are created for that faction — named, persistent even while empty, and visible in the group menu before anyone spawns.
FEATURES
— Squads created automatically when the GM enables a faction (spawn point assigned) — works in any Game Master scenario, no mission setup
— Players are auto-placed into their own squad on spawn, once per session; switching squads manually afterwards is never overridden
— Roster file re-read every 60 s: squad renames and membership changes apply mid-session, no restart
— Squad size: default 10, adjustable live from the Game Master global settings (2–20); resizing applies to existing squads immediately
SETUP (server owners)
Create 2hgz_company.txt in the server profile directory:
squad|<idx>|<squad name>
member|<idx>|uid|<bohemiaIdentityUuid>|<display name> — exact identity match
member|<idx>|name|<currentPlayerName>|<display name> — match by current platform name
Lines starting with # are comments. Players not listed in any squad get normal vanilla grouping.
COMPATIBILITY NOTE
This mod overrides Configs/Editor/AttributeLists/Edit.conf to add the squad-size setting to the GM dialog. Mods that override the same config (e.g. Game Master Enhanced) may conflict — load order decides which attribute list wins.
Built for the 2HGZ community, where the ReforgerPanel server manager generates the roster file from the live company structure — but the format is open, so any community can generate it with their own tooling. Pairs with 2HGZ Player Renamer for community display names on the same players.
