This was yet another item in my TODO list; I'm glad to see someone make progress!!

Implementation looks very good! One thing that I'd like to see implemented eventually is this: afaik, the chain contains a set of two dogtags. One is removed from casualties, but the other one is left with the remains, in order to be able to identify them later. So in a "fresh" casualty, both dogtags should be displayed, and once the first one was removed, the remaining one should be displayed, but without the possibility of taking it.

Nice idea. It would be great if someone could prepare brackgrounds for both versions of display (i mean background with both dogtags and background with only one). This UI is very old. I used it in my community version of dogtag module. I think it needs some love :)

Is that image taken from Battlefield? If so I can make a custom one to avoid copyright issues.

I'm not sure but it's possible. Someone gave me this about year ago. I really don't remember. If you can make your own i will be grateful :)

Will there be other dogtag models ?

Quite a few armies / countries uses dog tags which you break of one piece and leave the other half behind.

Will there be other dogtag models ?

Maybe in the future. Let's get guy finish a first version first ;)

Nope

The more I look at this the more I am certain that dogtag image is taken from battlefield. I am trying to find a decent model for ya and just haven't had luck with one that would accept the text addition well.

[BaerMitUmlaut]

I'm currently making a model and texture.

Is it be possible to give the individual dog tag items their own name? This would then alleviate the need of having to look at for example 'Dog Tag #1' to find out which one is which.

This has the same issue as #3601 with IDs #3601 (comment)

Moving to next milestone as this is still WIP and ideas are floating around on how to handle this the best way.
