Modacity Battlefield 3 Platoon (this shit's for real)

[Amit]

Alright ladies and bastards, what I've got here are running lists of people who play Battlefield 3 on PC, X360, and PS3. What I need you guys to do, if you own the game (and/or are playing in the Open Beta), is make a post in the Origin Names thread (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?23641-Origin-who-s-on-it) where ThePlague will update the first post to show everyone's names. This way I can grab your Origin ID and then add you directly to my list here and to the BFM Platoon page in the Battlelog.


Note: This group is mainly for PC players. I don't think there are many console players here. Depending on how many people sign up on those lists, there may not be events to play unless somebody who plays the game on the console wants to organize their own events. Sorry.

Please join the:

Battlefield Modacity Platoon on the Battlelog (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655240978921611)

and

Battlefield Modacity Steam Group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/battlefieldmodacity)

[BobtheGreatII]

Get me added.

[ThePlague]

My biggest thing is it seems we can't really organize events or anything at the moment using Battlelog. So how are we going to go about setting up gamenights?

[Caboos001]

I'll be on the PC version.
Origin name: ReconV17

Forum name: Nero
Origin: Joshflighter

[ThePlague]

Post the Origin ID's here (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?23641-Origin-who-s-on-it), not in this thread.

I added you two though.

[neuro]

i'm up for this shit, just posted my crap in the origin thread thing.

[Limited]

A IRL friend asked to join the platoon, can you hook him up maybe? BegleyM is his origin.

[TeeKup]

I'll be waving BFM on the console. ._.

[ThePlague]

A IRL friend asked to join the platoon, can you hook him up maybe? BegleyM is his origin.Get him to create an account here, he'll need it. Because right now, it seems like there's no way to plan anything on Battlelog, just play together and whatnot easier.

[ThePlague]

JOIN UP!!!

[Amit]

First post updated with new link. Click here, if you're a lazy bastard: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655240978921611/

[Guardian]

Will join up when I get my lappy back, hopefully itll be in on thurs when I go to pick up my BF3 copy.

[Donut]

my account is not allowed to log in. wat.

[Guardian]

Have you registered your copy og BF3 yet?

[BobtheGreatII]

I applied.

[MXC]

Applied.

[Warsaw]

Gotta build my new PC first. I'll apply when that's done.

[Donut]

Have you registered your copy og BF3 yet?
no but i played the beta on that account. i dont have the retail game yet.

[Amit]

You can still log into and use the Battlelog even if the game isn't installed.

[Guardian]

I cant. Think you need to have it either pre ordered or registered to your origin.

[Amit]

I cant. Think you need to have it either pre ordered or registered to your origin.

Well, obviously you need to have it registered. You can still log into the Battlelog.

[Guardian]

Nope till comes up with the "this account is not allowed to log in" thought, this netbook im using atm doesnt have origin installed on it which may be causing the problem

[Warsaw]

I haven't downloaded Origin yet and seeing how there is no CD key, I have no idea how registration would work anyways.

Before I go gallivanting into the unknown, anybody care to give a break down about how registering BF3 works?

[Guardian]

I figured out why some people wont be able to get onto battlelog (/why I haven't been able to) Its because BF3 doesn't get released in NZ and other countries until tomorrow or the 28th (UK). So if your in these countries Battlelog knows this aaaannnnd you cannot get on *sadface*.

[Cortexian]

Everyone make sure you're in the right Battlefield Modacity Platoon. ThePlague created one without authorization, his is to be considered fake and unorthodox.

[Warsaw]

Derp, that key was fucking invisible. Ugh, s'what I get for not sleeping as much as I should.

[Mr Buckshot]

Would love to join, but I'm too afraid about messing with my studies at the moment =.= After one day of playing BF3 at initial release, time to leave it alone and study for exams, sadly.

Might give it shot during winter break.

[ThePlague]

[Cortexian]

Rex is overused by your typical fanboi platoon leaders who saw the marketing gimmick.

Im in the same boat, going to play it tomorrow night after exams and study, then its back to study till the 4th :( Why did the release have to coincide with Uni Exams.

[Amit]

@Warsaw

When you get your key, open origin, click on the gear icon and click activate product or something like that. Paste in the key, click next and you're done. In a few minutes you'll be able to log into the Battlelog (it has to process your account so it doesn't work right away).

[Warsaw]

Got it. Since I can't install it, do you think that inputting the key have any adverse effects later?

[Amit]

No. I've downloaded it three times already. Twice on this laptop and once on my iMac.

[Warsaw]

I sent in the application to join. User name:

AxiaI

It's actually "Axial" but my name was taken, and in fonts without serifs, "I" and "l" look the same.

Ok, so much for applying...

[Amit]

Sorry,Yes I denied your app. That is why this thread is here. When a random person applies to the platoon, I come here to see if they've declared their name. If they haven't I send you packing. Now that I know who you are, you may join.

[Warsaw]

I did them one immediately right after the other.

:mech:

[Limited]

Limited55, still downloading though

[Amit]

Some people figured out how to upload platoon emblem images:

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391302682441/
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391310877391
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/ru/platoon/2832655391304165201/

I'll be doing this as soon as I figure out how to do it.

[Cortexian]

[Amit]

That's the same post I read at a hacking forum. The thread I looked at had more posts, though: http://www.uc-forum.com/forum/battlefield-3/71589-upload-image-platoon-emblem.html

[Cortexian]

What I linked to pretty much describes everything you need to do.

So long as you know what they're referring to...

[Amit]

It definitely describes what you need to do, but it doesn't say how to do it exactly. And that's going to be a problem since I have no idea what they are referring to. I could probably do the javascript part, but hijacking the http connection? How does one do that?

EDIT: Okay this is one hell of a guide, but it only works on SVGs: http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1136152

There were extensions in Firefox to do this, cant rememeber the name.

Can you describe the platoon emblem creating tools, since I have no idea how they work.

Base64 encoded is similar (or may actually be) a blob, in short terms its like storing every pixel colour data. You passing them the binary code that represents the image. You need to intercept that call, put in your own blob and continue the upload.

This is pretty much what the guide I posted above does. Also, to check out the platoon emblem editor, just create your own platoon and click on the "Edit Emblem" link in the top right corner of the platoon image.

[BobtheGreatII]

Please for the love of god don't put a single pony or other horrible meme on our emblem.

[Amit]

I assure you that won't happen. You want ponies? Fuck off. :)

[Nero]

Applied :)

[MXC]

You want ponies? Fuck off. :)

*Looks at Freelancers' avatar*

*Looks at "Leader" tag below avatar*

Uh huh.

[Amit]

I can't control what an individual uses as his avatar.

[=sw=warlord]

Downloading Battlefield 3 now.
Username is "HpcWarlord"

[Amit]

Listen up guys. It is now possible for the general public to upload their own Battlelog emblem using a Chrome script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/117314

Gif images work too :-3

What would you guys like to see as our Platoon Emblem. Serious submissions only. Ponies are not allowed.

[Nero]

OR furies.

Question, is our platoons' short name "BFM"? That's what I am playing under in my name.

[Amit]

Yes it is.

For now, I've redone the BFM letters to be some high class shit:
