Holman Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 You are using Vin's Animated Text, I'll bet. That mod has to be updated with every patch and expansion because each one changes the game's internal text files (which, as you see, share something with CMSF). I believe a new version of the mod is already available over in the Mod forum here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Ayers Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 That's exactly what it was. Thanks so much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Ayers Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Was wondering why the British Airborne sections were named "Xylaphone". lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I remember the first time I saw this happen. My jeeps were called T-72's, IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks Martyr for helping people get straight with the animated text mod. It is a great, helpful mod, but no matter how bold I put in the description MUST BE UPDATED WITH EACH PATCH/UPGARADE people do not read it, or take the advice. Now with all the different patches/upgrades, and different builds out there it is getting harder to make sure guys are using the proper compatible version for their version of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The graphics version I think is so cool to have in the game I don't know why BF just doesn't include an official version or something similar? At least an option. I especially like how you can keep track of your squad casualty count. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least an option. I especially like how you can keep track of your squad casualty count. I agree that it greatly improves the soldier stat text making it read easier while making it more interesting. If BF were to include it then there would be no more compatibility problems since it would be already updated with each release. I don't think there is anyone who has used it that would prefer to go back to using the text alone with no graphics. It is just a better system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Plus one there, it is down right painful playing a new game before the new version of your mod is available. Hears hoping BFC takes you up on your suggestion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
