Company Tool

[Fancy Sweetroll]

Hello.

I hope you all are enjoying the company tool. If you should encounter any bugs with the company tool, make a post in this thread or create a brand new thread in this subforum. Then I'll attempt to fix whatever issues you have as fast as I can.

[David Dire]

A minor bug, but if you select a unit type (infantry, cavalry, artillery) and then state, you cannot change the unit type.

For finding the first bug, how about adding my forum avatar to my company tool account? ;)

[JaegerCoyote]

Some States are missing.

[TrustyJam]

Some States are missing.

Let us know which ones! (mind you, the only supported companies are ones that partook in the Maryland Campaign of '62).

- Trusty

[Hinkel]

Some States are missing.

Those states are included, who had regiments at Antietam for example. The other states won't be available.

[Lance Rawlings]

Hmm. It seems to want to automatically log me out. Its happened three times now.

make that four...

[CjkCJkCjk]

When I type my log in stuff it sends me to a 404 page.

What is your nickname or soldier name in the tool, and which browser are you using?

[Lance Rawlings]

Lance Rawlings, Chrome

[Etherton]

2 ideas:

1. Possibly create a way for officers of mustering regiments to message soldiers not yet in companies asking them to help form? Something like that, maybe you send a form to them or something basically like a recruitment drive for X company etc.

2. Perhaps order the list of 'Roles' by order of importance? IE Company Command is the highest with things like officer, nco, enlisted following it and ones like cook at the very bottom, just making it a bit easier to sort through

[Hinkel]

Woops... I added the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Maryland to the Union now. Could you check it pls? :P

[JaegerCoyote]

I seen them, lol.

[Regwilliam]

Got my account activated and when i login i keep getting HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

[Wildcat]

wait so there will be a reset? Does that mean all companies get deleted or something?

[JaegerCoyote]

I believe, this is just for testing.

[TrustyJam]

Yes. We're currently running a 9 day testing period in order to squash the nastiest of bugs before we oficially launch the tool.

For some reason, on my company options I can't set or edit the minimum staff rank.

[CjkCJkCjk]

I like the enlistment papers y'all have.

Another logging out thing, if I have multiple tabs open and look at another one, as soon as I get back into the WoR tab it logs out. Not sure if that's supposed to happen. :p

[DaMonkey]

I know the regiments available are only those who were in the Maryland Campaign, but will you eventually be allowing other regiments to use the Company Tool; and if so, when? I feel a tad unattached to the States fighting in the "Eastern" theater :p

Well I think everyone should join the 38th North Carolina Company K if you ask me... ;)

[Norwegian]

Does anyone else have the problem that they can't assign/edit the minimum staff rank in the company options?

The option for it is simply not there for me.

[Lance Rawlings]

No, I actually just did that. From my phone even. I just went to Company settings I think and it was on the top.

I think it went well

You have to create a new account for the tool.

[Lance Rawlings]

So I had a thought. Is there a way to invite people who have accounts for the company tool directly to your company within the company tool itself? Sorry if this is a really dumb question. I may have missed something in my excitement to form my company there.

[Lance Rawlings]

It was with my tool account. It's fixed now. Thanks!

Oh and is it the 29th in Denmark? Cause it's only the 28th here. I know, my birthday is tomorrow... ;)

The Sergeant Major Chevron needs some working on. Right now it doesn't look great.

That aside though why does the tool have SgtMaj and Maj in the first place? Isn't this for Companies and nothing higher?

My guess is it's for companies that want to work together like the 1st Texas and form a battalion or regiment.

[Mississippi]

Company Tool looks fantastic Campfire Games!

[michaelsmithern]

Will there ever be some sort of Battalion type tool?, or even a Order of Battle schematic of some sort, or we just sticking to the bare basics right now

[Legion]

Is there a limit to how much you can write in the company description? I keep getting error messages everytime I try and update it.

i think that happens when you do the company bio or something, i keep getting them too, even worse i wrote 1stMN best MN and it went to the error page


Also upon release there should be a way to switch ownership of the company, this way if the guys who owns gets bored/tired/etc then he can give it to someone else within that company

[General. Jackson]

what does it mean by the data being reset? Is this just a trial and then we do the official whenever or?

So I know there's the option to put your Teamspeak info on your company page. Would it be possible for this eof us using Discord to have it say Discord? On a Discord server members are by invite only, either by following a link that can expire, or by greeting invited directly through their profile.

Would there also be a way to costumize the text font? I know this may be a little nitpick for it just coming out, but I'd love the option. The current one just makes me think of California in the 70s or something. ;)

And I'll mention it again cause it seemed to be missed: Will there be a way to invite players from within the company tool to join your company?

Great job so far, gents!

Not for a long while.
We said the game is about the Maryland Campaign for the next years. So you have to choose a company, which actually took part there. Sorry.

[Leifr]

Well done folks, it's very nicely done.
Under the 'Company Roster' options menu, each enlisted man has the words Owns the Company as default text - probably needs removing. :p

[Hinkel]

Well done folk, it's very nicely done.


Thank you very much,
and its just the basic version so far. It will get extended during the next weeks/months, like adding a regimental level to group up with companies and more.

And one day, everything will be linked directly ingame of course :)

[Leifr]

Yes, I was wondering at what point it would be integrated with Steam. Is there any planned link with the forum or are the two accounts going to remain exclusive of one another? I must admit that last night I tried logging in several times with this account, rather than realising I had to make a fresh one.

[Fancy Sweetroll]

Is there a limit to how much you can write in the company description? I keep getting error messages everytime I try and update it.

Right now there's a limit of 3000 characters. Not sure if thats what your experiencing and at the moment it doesnt tell you there's too many characters. It will simply juts crash.

What is your soldier name or your Company name?

In fact. Whenever you report an error, it would be great if you mentioned the company name and or soldier name so I can easily replicate the issues.

[Fancy Sweetroll]

Also upon release there should be a way to switch ownership of the company, this way if the guys who owns gets bored/tired/etc then he can give it to someone else within that company

You should already be able to give the ownership to somebody else. But you can only do it if you are the owner of the company. Click on "Options" next to a soldier in the company roster

[Fancy Sweetroll]

So I had a thought. Is there a way to invite people who have accounts for the company tool directly to your company within the company tool itself? Sorry if this is a really dumb question. I may have missed something in my excitement to form my company there.

Thats something I'm planning on implementing, as well as the option to lock the company so new members can only be achieved this way. I'm also considering allowing soldiers to send telegrams directly to each other. Instead of only the company staff being able to send mass telegrams. It would be kinda like a very basic pm system.

[Fancy Sweetroll]

It's now possible to select the type of voice chat you are using, inside the Company Options. Currently theres Teamspeak, Mumble and Discord. If you have any ideas for other voice chat programs, just throw them at me.

[Challis89]

Looking brilliant and coming along a treat. Haven't found any bugs and ita simplistic yet informative in its use.

One thing tho, shouldn't one of the 1St SC be in the specials section as its a Riflesregiment?

As always keep up the good work.

Hi

I couldn't find the 2nd Virginia Infantry in the CSA CT. There is a 1st, a 3rd but not a 2nd.

So Far i have enjoyed playing with the company tool, but may i ask, will you be adding color guards under special units? i compleatly understand if your not, but its just an idea XD

Two questions regarding the reset:
Will all accounts be deleted?

[thomas aagaard]

Created an infantry company and it works very well.
So did deleting it.


But a few questions and commends.

Why can we select the ranks of Major, sergeant major and company Quartermaster?

Major and Sergeant major was battalion positions and did not exist in the infantry companies.

And similar with roles: many of them was battalion positions.

Just curious why you added them?



"company quartermaster" was not a rank.

The correct rank is "Quartermaster Sergeant" and in the infantry it was only a battalion position. So have the similar issue to the two ranks mentioned above.
(that work was done by the first sergeant)

In the artillery and cavalry it was also a company position. But still the correct name is "Quartermaster Sergeant"

[Sinjide]

Hi

I couldn't find the 2nd Virginia Infantry in the CSA CT. There is a 1st, a 3rd but not a 2nd.

Thanks

How about this ?

[Bravescot]

So why are we able to pick SgtMaj and Maj? Neither are Company rolls.

[Hinkel]

How about this ?

There is a simple fact:

The game is about the Maryland Campaign and its units. During the Maryland Campaign, the 2nd Virginia was detached to Martinsburg as provost guards!

[Hinkel]

Hi

The 2nd Virginia did not fight in the Maryland Campaign, so they are not available in the tool or ingame.

[Leifr]

It's almost as if people haven't looked up the Order of Battle for the Maryland Campaign. :p

[Legion]

So why are we able to pick SgtMaj and Maj? Neither are Company rolls.

For when companies band together and create battalions and regiments. That's my guess. The company tool will be expanded to include battalions, regiments, brigades etc. so it does make sense to have the other ranks and roles.

And as for the roles, well I like them and hope they stay. It allows you to promote people without actually promoting them. It also allows me to organize my men the way I want.

Alright thank you :)

[Leifr]

There is a typing error on the tooltip for "Postpone Decision" when another company pips you to the post. It currently reads "This will send you bake to the company tool...", I'm all for baked goods but I don't think many soldiers would make for an ideal baker.

Fixed :p

For the time being, until we introduce regiments. We have removed the Major, Sergeant Major and Company Quartermaster ranks. People with those ranks have been demoted to the rank prior to those.

[thomas aagaard]

A few more notes...


In the cavalry company there should also be a Commissary Sergeant.
He had just as little to do with combat as the company quartermaster sergeant... so either both should be there or none of them.

Edit - now you removed the company quartermaster sergeant it is short of not relevant.


US regulars
The "Old army" regiments that existed before the war each had one battalion of 10 companies.
But in may 1861 Lincoln enlarged the regular army.
10 new regiments was added. They where each to have 3 battalions of 8 companies each.
But most never got their 3rd battalion.

They used the company letters A-H
At least some of the regiments (12th and 14th) operated as two battalions during the campaign, and as such each battalion should be an option.

And in other cases you had companies from two different regiments operating as one battalion.
And a number of companies was not present during the campaign or simply did not exist.

But it would naturally be a good deal of work to find out what companies was there and what was not... so fully understand why this would not be a priority... :-)


Is there a limit to how many of the different ranks you can have in a company?
If so, note that the union had 3 different structures.

Old army where each regiment = one battalion of 10 companies. (1st-10th)
One First Sergeant
Three Sergeants.
Four Corporals.

New army - the new regular army regiments (11th-19th)
They where each to have 3 battalion of 8 companies. but most only reached two battalions.
One First Sergeant
Four Sergeants.
Eight Corporals.

Volunteers - regiment = one battalion of 10 companies
One First Sergeant
Four Sergeants.
Eight Corporals.

And they also differ a good deal in what ranks and positions was on the battalion level.

People can assign as many officers and NCO's they would like. And we won't change that :)

[thomas aagaard]

If it is just an internal thing and don't effect what rank the soldiers will wear on their uniform in actual game, then fine by me...


If it effect the models in the game... well, then I think it is a very bad idea.

And as for the roles, well I like them and hope they stay. It allows you to promote people without actually promoting them. It also allows me to organize my men the way I want.

You might want to go back and reread what I put. I made no mention to company rolls tool. I was saying neither Major or SgtMaj were in a Company so why are they there.

[Legion]

People can assign as many officers and NCO's they would like. And we won't change that :)

I'm happy about that, I'll definitely have some reserve officers/ncos for when my main men cant make it.

[thomas aagaard]

The historical system had the same issue.
That is why you have more officers and sergeants than what you need for the company to work.
Only the captain, 1st sergeant and 2nd sergeant are actually doing anything most of the time.
(and rarely the 1st LT have a job to do) the rest are just extras ready to take over if one above them is put out of action.

And they have jobs to do during the daily army life when not in combat.

[michaelsmithern]

apparently the co. quartermaster sergeant is gone

I understand that, but players like to be promoted because it makes them feel good. Noone want to be a private forever. I'm all for historical accuracy as much as possible though.

[Fancy Sweetroll]

You need to have a rank at or higher than the minimum staff rank set in the Company Options. You also cannot edit your own remarks and you can only edit the remarks under soldiers under your command in your own company.

[Bob_Rabbit]

I like how you cant put down an age below 18 but you can be 999 years old and probably older aswell (haven't tried yet).

Better take off my 63rd New York Signature aswell, just noticed it already has a 30 man strong company on the website.

[Legion]

I like how you cant put down an age below 18 but you can be 999 years old and probably older aswell (haven't tried yet).

Yeah, they should lock the age so you can only pick an age between 17 and 50-60.

[BloodBeag]

I saw someone enlisted in 1861890

Rob Zombie who was born 900 years ago in the state of decay was funny also

[BloodBeag]

Yeah, they should lock the age so you can only pick an age between 17 and 50-60.

Find out who the oldest and youngest soldiers were

[Legion]

Find out who the oldest and youngest soldiers were

the youngest was 9-10 (John clem) and the oldest was 80 (He died the same year that he enlisted though)

I think since we only have man sized characters that we should stick to ages between 17-60

[Lance Rawlings]

Find out who the oldest and youngest soldiers were

11 is the youngest I believe. http://civilwarsaga.com/child-soldiers-in-the-civil-war/

Oldest was 80, served 4 months:


"Curtis King, who was 80 years old, was the oldest soldier
in either army. He served four months before being discharged for disability"

If it effect the models in the game... well, then I think it is a very bad idea.

Why not if they have earned the rank they should wear it. I think the limits should be where you have a full company of 30 Sgts then it's going over the top. An extra lt in a big company maybe warranted if that company needs extra.staff etc

[Legion]

They did have extra Lts and NCOs in some cases.

[thomas aagaard]

A Union volunteer infantry company was allowed 8 corporals, 4 sergeants and a 1st sergeant + 2-3 LTs and the captain.
that is 16-17 men with rank...
That should be sufficient... it was during the war since this is way more than what you actually need for the company to function during combat.

One reason for this limit was money, different ranks get different pay. This was a legal limit.


If the rank is just an internal thing, I really don't care.

But when playing the came I don't want to see a company of 3 privates, 7 1st sergeant, 6 LTs and two captains.
That would just be unhistorical and not make much sense when the devs use so many hours on making everything else historical.

[venomkiller69]

Yea if its not working for anyone just refresh your page and it should work after that, if it doesn't contact Fancy Sweetroll and he should be able to help you

[Legion]

You can't stop people from being inaccurate. Even if the ranks are limited there is nothing stopping players from filling up those higher ranks and not have any pvts.

So instead of having a company with a few extra ranks you'll see 17man companies with 8 cpl, 4 sgts, 1 1st sgt, 2-3 lts and a captain and no pvts. Thats just as innacurate as if they didn't lock the ranks.

[thomas aagaard]

And that is why Iam hoping the game will take care of this issue.
So in a game there can only be x people spawning in as sergeants, x as LTs and so on.
Just like other games have limits on the different roles.


I guess time will tell...

[Etherton]

Can it be sorted so you can change both the person rank and role without it closing after each one? Atm if i get a recruit and change his rank to private it closes the window, would be nice if it could stay open and let me assign his role before i choose to close it

That would just be unhistorical and not make much sense when the devs use so many hours on making everything else historical.

Spare the history lesson sir I already know that. Of course we all want it to be historical but underlying everything it's a game and that's something we can't forget.

I think unless they cap it which they won't do (tho I support a loose cap) then it's likely we will see multiple officers and ncos in small units. I guess that will be for the server police to mods. Btw I support having your company rank added to your uniform if you pick a company uniform when selecting your character for a game if not going a random uniform.

If you reach ten member you get a message "sole right etc". If you kick one out you are still formed but when somebody join you get the message again.

So the email depends on the number of members not on the status ;)

Personal telegrams is also a planned feature.

Your name and company jumping down is because of the company having a very long name and for some companies, such as yours. Its difficult to give it a short name while still describing which company it is. So feel free to come with some suggestions

1st LA Zouaves Co. B or Coppens Zouaves Co. B thats about as short as I can get it.

Could you make it so there is some sort of stopping mechanism when you click things like desert to the other nation, dishonorably discharge, discharge or disband company? None of those are something you want to hit by mistake so having a little box pop up that says "Hey you sure you want to do this? Y/N" would be great. You shouldn't have to be that careful where you click when browsing your options.

Hey fancy.

I got a really bad volunteer called Ben Hinkel. First he looked competend and trustfull so i promoted him to 1st Lt and assigned him to the Staff but shortly after the first bullets flew arround his head he deserted.

After the battle he came like a beaten dog so i forgived him because i am a generous go... captain. I wondered because he was automatically assigned to the staf after i enlisted him.

In short without story:

guy was assigned to staff -> guy deserted -> enlisted him back as recruit -> he was automatically back in the staff

[Wildcat]

Yeah I wouldn't let Ben Hinkel in your company I heard the other week he was stealing apples from an old lady! He also escaped an Execution!

[FakeMessiah27]

I also tried to send out a telegram and had the "Something went wrong page" pop-up.

However, I did receive the email with the telegram, but on the company tool it did not say I had any telegrams to read. So the email part seemed to work fine but the company tool part didn't?

42ndPA Company F, Captain Dennis McGee, for reference's sake.

Not much of a suprise there, i mean what the 63e lacked in skill they make up in numbers... also i think the second largest company is the 69thNY Co. A

those guys who formed the 14th New York.

The 14th New York was a regular volunteer unit, it was not the 14th Brooklyn.

There were four sections per company, I'm not asking for them to add assignable sections like they did with platoons, I just want section command to be a selectable role in the roles menu, that way I can better organize my troops instead of just having everyone's role as NCO.

[A. P. Hill]

I think if the developers are trying to make this as authentic as possible, then all roles should be available to those organizations that wish to play to that depth of realism.

I agree sir while they weren't fixed formations before I'm hounded, they could be handy for larger companies and anyways who doesn't want to deploy a section to act as skirms to cover the company similar to a battalion sending a flank company out to do do that.

if you want to lead multiple companies then you should form a battalion with a second company but in the moment I only know around 6 "groups" which really need that.

I mixed it both threads up. there is a wish list but sometimes here is a discussion about wishes.....

sometimes I don't know in which thread I am and sometimes I don't know in which forum :p

[Challis89]

How much control will a battalion commander actually have given the games geared to the company level Command and control system? Will a battalion commander be able mess about with internal arrangements etc or will it be a case of the battalion commander can only advise the captain what to do?

[FakeMessiah27]

Now that, is an interesting question. And I shall follow it up with another question to all those historians on here: how was it done back then? Did a battalion commander get involved in company matters or was it left up to the Captain to deal with?

Edit: As for WoR though, battalions are usually formed when one company grows big enough to start a second. Therefore I reckon for the game's sake the battalion commander should definitely have some power in internal company matters as they were probably the original founder.

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

but it's also possible that two different companies decide to form one battalion but want to be "independent" on the company level.

[Bravescot]

*Beings to watch this thread with great interest* Yeah, Battalion stuff.

[Hinkel]

No.. The companies have to be inside the same mother regiment, to be part of the battalion/regiment.

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

No.. The companies have to be inside the same mother regiment, to be part of the battalion/regiment.

I know.

I wanted to say that's possible that two guys form a company of xy. later they decide to form a battalion but every company want to have autonomy.

I wanted to show you that not every battalion must be a grown company and that players maybe want more autonomy for their company but still want to act like a battalion.

[TheBoberton]

Maybe set it up so the company commanders choose the level of autonomy their company will have when they join/form a regiment?

That way, companies that have expanded can be run from the top, as they were previously, while independent companies coming together can run their own affairs. Perhaps also set it up so that companies can change that setting when senior leadership changes, to prevent exploitation?

Historically the company commanders had most of the power and training mostly being done at a company level. Battalion commanders debt with the bigger things like discipline hearings and logistics and making sure the company commanders books were up to date. I battle tho the powrr was with the senior officer.

I think you are forgetting the time period. As ive said captains held a lot of power of their companies as they were responsible for its running. Majors and above had other roles. In game its going to be hard to get the balance right tho Bobertons suggestion is the best yet.

I guess we will have to wait till later down the dev tree for battalion workings and how they will work in the company tool.

Yeah, but that worked in real life because any form of deceit or insubordination was never common. In a game where the game will get to a point for some people where when they lead a Company they'll steal the men they command and just split off. A chain of command may not have been necessary in the real world, but in the game it is vital to a regiments survival. At least from experience.

True but in all fairness if someone wants and convinces your men to leave they will nothing can stop them. For gameplay it needs to be worked in such a way that the battalion commander dosent have full control and let's a company commander do there job otherwise what's the point of a 2nd company.

Think you're confusing my explanation with what you think should happen in the actual gameplay. Obviously a Battalion commander won't be on the field everywhere. This thread is for the Company Tool, think you are in the wrong thread about gameplay. I am referencing the Battalion's leader control over the companies in regards to the Company Tool, because you know the leader of the Battalion should be able to administrate it.

No im not confusing it. My points pretty simple in regards to the tool as outlined. I agreed with a previous poster the battalion commander needs some control but if there going to micro manage 2 companies then whats the point having 2 there need to be some balance to the company commander running his company choosing who joins it etc rather than having people forced upon him that might ruin his units cohesion. Sure have the bat commander have the power to change descriptions and update info and decide when and where the training will be but it shouldnt be at a micro management level.

[GeneralSquirts]

Well, you can choose not to micro manage as a battalion commander, but for the companies and battalions that do function that way then they should have that option because it is sensible to do so. Of course not every company will be managed the same, which will show in the future of who really succeeds down the line. :p

I understand with a company of two men in the 1st SC Rifles perhaps the way you put it would sound more appealing, but when you're managing 4 companies in a single battalion which will have about 40 men each, which the 63rd NY will have lol.. then making as many things as manageable as possible is important because if an NCO or commander isn't on, the many to his side can do the job. Again, think big and broad and make options available. If a company chooses not to utilize it, then so be it, but for those who want to, there's no harm in letting them utilize it.

[Challis89]

Possibly, but there shouldnt be by default permissions to micro manage so that the companies in the tool, to allow the battalion commander access. I for one wouldn't want my battalion commander to be able to promote or demote people against my will. I dont see the point in a captain if the majors going to run it all for example. I could not want the opposite of your scenario where a company joins a battalion and its then snatched out of his/her hands.

Time will tell hopefully the devs will down the line make it clear how they plan to proceed when more important matters are worked on.

Depends on what you define as succeeds, to me a big unhappy company is never as good as a small compact community driven company.

I see, I'm speaking for battalions where everyone is from the same community so that managing can be made easier, but for the battalions that are derived from smaller communities of course not having a battalion commander make changes for the companies at that level. Again like I said, and I'll make it easier to see this time.

If a company chooses not to utilize it, then so be it, but for those who want to, there's no harm in letting them utilize it.

Ah i see ive just been talking in general terms about the tool as it will be the same for gaming clans and individuals alike. I've not said Battalion commanders should not have the option of gaining certain admin rights etc only that they are not granted by default so microing can't happen straight from the off the company owner would have to grant that person them.

And no need to be rude and shout sir, tis very very rude.

Is there a way to stop spam? I've had a few as had my mate before the reset asking me to merge with them due to my company being too small yet I know that I've got guys wanting to play they have reasons for not making a profile yet a few are backers. So to stop rambling can we have a report button on telegrams or a block button please.

[Killobytes]

How about on the company options, there is a dedicated slot to stating what region the company is in, for example if it's primarily an NA company, it could say NA, EU, EU/AU somewhere on the page so it's obvious and you don't need to read through the BIO

That could also be extended to the company search criteria like State and branch

Another idea is for company administrators to be able to delete items in the Company Records, so we can remove all of the clutter of people being promoted to private and assigned roles in the history, and just display important things

And maybe add an apostrophe after someone's name when their role is changed

E.G. "John Smith's Role was changed..."
rather than the current "John Smiths role was changed..."

http://i.imgur.com/iphmHBg.png

[Fancy Sweetroll]

The region thing for your company is something we'd like to have added soon.

Deleting things from the Company Records will most likely never happen since its supposed to be a record of what has happened in your company. But you can just use the search feature if your looking for something specific "promote", "discharge", "desert". Search strings like that.

I just added the apostrophe, it will however only appear on future entries in the company records.

[Pinckney]

What about making it to where I can change the rank, role and position of the individual? Now I have to change one thing at a time and reopen the menu for each time I get a new member.

[FakeMessiah27]

This is a bit nit picky perhaps, but the new apostrophe is also being added to the end of names that end in an S.

https://i.gyazo.com/e651ad4065381c3ce3d308bc67d2148d.png

It should simply put an apostrophe, without the S: "John F Reynolds' role was..."

Hey! When I try to search for a soldiers name in the Company Tool, I hit search and it looks like all it does is takes me to the top of the page, it doesn't bring them up. I'd appreciate help with this! Thanks.

[Fancy Sweetroll]

Hmm, it works fine for me. What are you typing into the search field and which browser are you using?

[Leifr]

You have to click search, hitting enter doesn't seem to work.

You have to click search, hitting enter doesn't seem to work.

Pressing Enter to do the obvious tasks is also something I'll be looking into sometime soon

[Lance Rawlings]

I am typing names of soldiers I know are in the company tool, and then clicking "search" I'll try one more time

Ok, it's working now. Maybe I wasn't clicking it. Who knows. Sorry for the trouble!

Only problem in company tool i have seen is that you cannot see your sent telegraphs. It would be helpful especially when reaching out to same members again.

[General. Jackson]

Agreed^

I would like to change my nickname, because I was a little bit too fast in creating my profile. How does it work? I didn't found any options for changing the nickname. I would have delete the Profile and get a new one but there is no option for that either.

Thanks in advance!

You can click on "view enlistment papers" and change your name there?

The Soldiers name...yes, but not the Nickname! The Nickname is the username!? At first my Nick and my soldiers name where the same...then I realized that there is a german Community with companies and I get a german Soldiername...now I have a english common name as Username and a German soldiername. I want to change the Nickname in my Steamname...thats the problem!??

The username is not important to be honest.
Well, there is no way to change the username, sorry.

Maybe Fancy can add it in a new patch for the tool.

[prophet7]

I see...but it would be pehaps nice as a matter of form.
It also would be good to have a delete option I think...just think of the waste data of unused profiles over the time. Naturally I will use it :) but others perhaps not...

Thank you!

I would like to be able to self delete a company that I created and doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Have you gone into company tool options (For your specific company that you control) And clicked the disband option, then select okay? You probably have but just in case do so! ;)
