Please, use normal capital letters. I don't understand why you created a new thread instead of continuing into the existing one. http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=4079Anyway, I agree that an "OpenArena Name Changer" tool would be nice. But I'm not capable to create it.

1) Install Linux 2) echo -e \\x63\\x61\\x63\\x61 > copy_to_q3conf.txt 3) It works

This should not be too hard. I might make one for OA today when I get home. The q3 name changer is simply inconvenient to use. I guess for start it should write directly to the config file and colors will be selectable with preview. If anyone needs any specific feature or has an idea let me know.

Yesterday, Cacatoes did a try (you can find it in this post)... a web-based name creator ( http://openarena.tuxfamily.org/namecreator/), inspired by DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Quake_3_Name_Changer]Quake 3 Name Changer. It does not have support for colors (yet), but the main problem is that, being web-based, it does not interact directly with the user's q3config.cfg files, and needs users to manually apply the new name editing their q3config.cfg files.

I've worked on my OA name changer tool for the past few days. Now it is fully functional. It took a bit longer than I thought it would, since I took a lot of time polishing, and figuring out how to change the color of the characters in Lazarus (but primarily due to procrastination). I've attached a windows executable, and the entire source code (GPLv2). You'll need Lazarus to compile this. I'll also make a Linux executable once I get around to a Linux system (hopefully tomorrow). The tool should also work on a Mac, it may need a slight change (and recompile) so it can figure out where OA config file is. Since I don't have a Mac I can't check this. Edit: I've uploaded a modified version, with option to allow to store the config file in the same directory as oanc. This is helpful for systems with non-standard characters, which oanc does not support currently.

Seems nice. I will try it! PS: From the screenshot, it seems you forgot ^8. I suppose orange color has been introduced with OA 0.8.5: there is a prblem that it is not correctly shown in console (I hope they will fix it before 0.8.6), but is shown correctly in the score table. ( DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Text_colors

Haven't tried but well done dbx, far more polished than my attempt and cross-platform which was my main worry and you answered it so that's very fine. I don't know if I'll continue to work on that web interface even though it was fun to make, time will say. Maybe your tool could come with OA release's package.

Given a rapid test. Very nice! If would be even better if you could re-create the feature of DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Quake_3_Name_Changer]Quake 3 name changer that allows to select if to apply the selected name to a single mod, to some mods or to all mods.... PS: I don't know why, but if I close the "config" window without having selected the "save configuration on the same directory of OANC" flag, I get a "file not found" error (but then it seems to work anyway). Note: that flag means that if you enable it, the program configuration (oanc.ini) will be stored in the same folder where you extracted its executable, and if you leave this unckeded, under Windows the config file will be stored under %appdata%\.oanc folder PPS: also a version number in the "about" window may be nice.

I'll make some of these adjustments and fixes tomorrow, as well as testing under Linux. I guess I could add options to apply to some or all mods, but I'll need to first figure out what mods are present, and present the list to the user. I have not poked much at q3nc, but will see how it works in more detail. Maybe your tool could come with OA release's package.
That would be nice, but in any case I think it could be placed in the Downloads section on the OA site.

As previously said, orange is not shown in the console (where it looks black, if I remember correctly). But it is correctly shown in the score table. More, it is also shown in the extended message of the day. I think it is shown also in the "player settings" menu (but not 100% sure). I don't know if it works on the name that appears over who you are aiming at.
Still about colors, maybe the purple in square in the name changer program could be lighter (more like the color of the text), right?

As Gig said, orange works, more or less, which is why I've included it. I've worked a bit more on oanc, now I've also included a Linux executable (it's a lot larger than the windows one, hence the ~2 MiB archive filesize). Also fixed several bugs and made some adjustments. Unfortunately, I could not attach the archive here due to it's size (or perhaps it takes too long to upload, don't know). So you'll have to get it from my site. Thanks Gig for testing.
