how about a version for the web?
i wouldn't download and install a program if i could just as easily go to a webpage and tinker with my playername.

the output could be a textbox that would be manually pasted into the correct config-file.

erf, lol.

The web version I did could still be much improved (if I improve it I'll take into acount your remark, Gig already told me the same).

---

Anyway, I plan to host oanc here: http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/other/oanc/


---

Edit: ran oanc under Linux, it works very fine (it found my config file, cool Cheesy)

When started from console I have a few outputs which we may ignore:

Code:
~/Desktop$ ./oanc

(oanc:3772): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable: assertion `gdk_window_is_viewable (src)' failed

(oanc:3772): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable: assertion `gdk_window_is_viewable (src)' failed

(oanc:3772): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable: assertion `gdk_window_is_viewable (src)' failed

I only copied the binary and the chars/* files

Link to Cacatoes' test web tool:
http://openarena.tuxfamily.org/namecreator/

@ DBX, i was thinking... the background of the "preview" field is black... that means that black text will not be visible, I suppose. What about making the background of that field of a colour different from any of those available for the text? For example, a dark grey, or something else...

I forgot to disable a switch during compilation. I'll try to make a new version today with some fixes and mod selection. I'll also change the name preview background color.

Ok, I've uploaded a new version. Should have some bugs fixed, and the background color for name preview is dark gray. It is now also possible to select mods to which you want the name saved. The command prompt on windows should no longer appear.

You can get it from my site.

Updated. From your previous readme, I considered current version to be 1.0.4, though that may be wrong.

For future versions, any way you make "oanc" linux file executable ? We need to chmod +x it otherwise.

It's probably because I create the archive on a windows system, and the executable attribute gets lost. I'll see if I can make an archive that would preserve the x attribute.

EDIT: Ok, I've created a new archive which has oanc with the executable attribute, so no chmod+x is no longer required.

Man, your program rocks!  Smiley
You just earned a cake for that!  Smiley

PS: Maybe the green "block" may be a little lighter...
PPS: I see that the window is not resizable, and that (at least on my system) the preview field can show up to 26 (printable) characters at the same time (over this limit, the first characters are out from the screen). Just wondering: are they enough or it would be better to use smaller fonts (or a bit larger window) to allow some some characters to be shown, e.g. 32 or 40?

Wait, what "save" button did you press? "Save to Config" applies the name to the configuration file selected from the "config" window (by default, the one in "baseoa" folder/mod) only. "Save Select", instead, allows to select the mods you wish to update. What did you try exactly?

All other mods, or only some? I'll investigate this further. I've figured out where the problem lies, while a correct filename for each mod config is determined, I still use the selected config one Embarrassed I'll fix this in a few hours, once I'm home.

PS: Maybe the green "block" may be a little lighter...

Just wondering: are they enough or it would be better to use smaller fonts (or a bit larger window) to allow some some characters to be shown, e.g. 32 or 40?

I'll see to make some changes to improve this. But first I'll make a fixed version for the mod issue.

Premise: I'm not a game coder.

I fear that may further break compatibility. I'm not sure, but probably it is already that orange color would be shown as black when running Quake 3 mods... adding additional symbols may bring to unexpected results, I suppose...

PS: Just a curiosity:
I see that are some little differences in the symbols table in Quake 3 Name Changer and OpenArena Name Changer.
Compare them... Q3NC with OANC. dbX, do you have "blanked" some symbols that did not work?
