Hi,

Does the NATION column in UNITSTRUCTURE has any effect? I noticed that despite their being more than two nations in GtC, this file has only 0 and 1 just like the 'SIDE' column really; Plus the XXXTeams files have also a 'Nation' column that determine the color scheme of the uniforms, rank graphics, voice and name files.

The only thing that column does at the moment is determine what numbering scheme should be used when generating platoon names within a company. In nations.txt you'll find the default platoon numbering scheme, and for GTC only there is a flag (column 2 I think) that says whether to number platoons within a company only, or number all the platoons within a battalion (the British scheme.)

got it, thanks.
