OTM player starting position letters

[Notch]

I would like to request an addition to your 'OTM Player's position in begining  of battle' section. Could you please add an option for letters to represent player's position in begining of battle?  Thank you in advance and love your mods. Keep up the good work 👍

So you want the position numbers to have letters instead, in the sense that instead of position 1 there is the letter A, instead of position 2 there is a letter B etc? I'm not sure if it's possible, in theory some python code with macro would have to be used. May I know why would you like it like this?

In a group situation like Clan Wars, it would be easier for reference as to who to concentrate focus fire on. It allows a caller to designate using the phonetic alphabet.  Example: 'Focus fire on "Alpha", or 'Gulf will be your next target' .  When you use number above the tank, it can get jumbled with the other numbers seen in the OTM.  I do suppose that letters could also but, letters do simplify the identification process.  If letters prove to be too dificult to manage, would it be possible to make the numbers used larger or oultlined or exxagerated?

Like that? just an example using own team:

yes, yes, and yesssss   Wow you have outdone yourself  Resectfully, the bottom one is a little over the top as it might be the same as having too much info. Looks a little too close to a players name. But the others are very awesome👏

Yeah it might be too much, I have tested possibilities 🙂 So Expect this in the next modpack. The style will be the one I used in the first tiny screenshot. I will also add option to enlarge the numbers/letters slightly (by 2 points).
