I got it working, please read below for instructions:
Step 1:
Add squad_size_xp_cap="2.0" to the "default group" section of green.xml file:
Code:
<soldier name="default" spawn_score="1.0" squad_size_xp_cap="2.0" >
The "squad_size_xp_cap" increases the number allowed to join your squad. It does not increase the soldiers actually joining your squad. That number still caps at 10. So you end up with 10/14 or 10/20.
1.0 = 10 squadmates and 2.0 = 20 squadmates
Step 2:
Update the squad configuration files. By adding additional <soldier /> tags, it increases the additional soldiers actually joining your squad.
Below is the new code from default.squad_config file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<squad_config name="Default">
<soldier />
<soldier weapon2_tag="medikit" />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
</squad_config>
<squad_config name="Default">
<soldier />
<soldier weapon2_tag="medikit" />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
<soldier />
</squad_config>
There are 20 soldier tags which correspond with squad_size_xp_cap="2.0"
Step 3:
Make a hud_squad11.png, hud_squad12.png, etc ....
You can copy hud_squad10.png and rename the copy to hud_squad11.png or you can create your own.
Hope this helps everyone ...
Lucky break we've never hit the issue of non-existing icons due to the max 10 being forced by squad configs / default parameters. Won't be fixing this one as it allows proper modding too.
