Emblem

Player emblem is a texture that is displayed on different player-owned entities such as camouflage, Motherbase, containers, vehicles, mission prep screen etc.

It is composed of two shape textures (back/front) and two word textures. Player can unlock different shapes and words by playing the game. Shapes and words are tied to specific missions and free-roam outposts; you can check them in ./00.dat/Assets/tpp/script/lib/TppEmblem.lua. They are saved in vars.emblemFlag lua variable. Textures can be found in master\texture0.dat\Assets\tpp\ui\texture\Emblem\.

On FOBs emblem assignment is inconsistent.

If defender is a supporter of attacked FOB and has a different emblem, it will be replaced with FOB emblem from attackers point of view.

Defender cannot see attackers emblem, default “DD” emblem is used instead (depends on master server response).

Texture composition

All emblems (player and FOB opponent) are created dynamically by tpp::ui::emblem::impl::EmblemEditorSystemImpl class. First, tpp::ui::emblem::impl::EmblemEditorSystemImpl::CreateEmblemParameters is called with variables from save file (local) or master server response (FOB).

Save file variables:

Each variable is a 4-value array indexed from 0 to 3, example: vars.emblemY[0].

After successfully creating parameters, they are fed to tpp::ui::emblem::impl::EmblemEditorSystemImpl::CreateEmblem, which makes 2 named textures: regular and small one (with what dimensions?). Small texture gets _S suffix.

To create the texture, words and shapes are blend together by an instance of fox::gr::TextureBlender (created during object initialization, tpp::ui::emblem::impl::EmblemEditorSystemImpl::CreateBlender). Emblem can be recreated anywhere except during online session after both players are connected and in the mission - game will crash in tpp::gk::'anonymous_namespace'::EmblemManagerImplJob::UpdateRendering (0x14055ac0c).

Player emblem is created on game start from lua in 0/00.dat/Assets/tpp/pack/mission2/init/init_fpkd/Assets/tpp/level/mission2/init/init_sequence.lua:

TppUiCommand.CreateEmblem("MyEmblem") -- creates MyEmblem and MyEmblem_S

On FOBs another pair of textures is made: OpponentEmblem and OpponentEmblem_S. These names are hardcoded in the exe and not referenced in lua; they are encoded using strcode64 (HashWrangler) (fox::FoxStrHash32)

For attacker opponent emblem is created on FOB selection list after selecting the attack target.
