    get the All Seeing Eye, it keeps a database of all the names you enter into it, and you can simply choose one before you play.

    that's how i keep all my wonderfully colourful pseudonyms at the tips of my fingers.

    you definitely DON'T have to reinstall the game.

    if you open the cod2 console by pressing the ` key, to the left of the 1 and above your tab keys; You can type
    Code:
    /name newname
    replacing "newname" with what ever you want your name to be. You can do this anytime, even during games

    Make sure you are on the server (Ours)
    when you change your name.
    Each modded server you play on
    makes a .cfg in your player folder,
    And yes girls, it is different from your default config.
    Oh and if you want the change to be permanent, Use:
    Code:
    /seta name NewName
    Changing it on the connect screen only changes the
    default cfg, not the Uan One.

    name change

    Some things I know about names on cod2:
    To effectivly change your name in the multiplayer options you have to shut down the game and restart to set the change.
    To change names during the game you use the ~ key as posted above.
    If you have a space in your name you will have to enter it with quotes:
    /name "punk bitch noob loser cheating hacker fuckface" otherwise it will only name you punk. Also, as with other commands you can use tab instead of searching for the right key.

    Interesting, but I've never had a problem entering names with spaces in them, nor have i used quotes. Weird

    weird

    i guess it works both ways in cod2... i think im used to the way uo did it. maybe i just like complicating things.

    No you don't M8,
    That's what the "SET" & "SETA" cmds do.
    If you use SET it doesn't get written to the cfg, It just uses a session
    variable for whatever cmd you changed.

    And with SETA it Does get written (or overwritten)
    to your text cfg file and will be a permanent change.
    ///// Edit
    Sorry I just reread your post, and you are right, if the change is
    done in MP Opts, then yes the game needs to be restarted
    BEFORE you join a server to exact the change.
    \Edit
    PS. right now, and you know the place, Remember?
