Name maker

[Interpol]

Hi

Some players online use special symbols and graphics in their nicks. I know they use a text editor to do it, but I cannot find it

If possible, I'd like some help to find that program (I use Vista) and also how to proceed after installing it.

Thanks

Quake 3 name changer

Even works inside Wine We could make a few simple scripts which play with characters' code

Yes, that was it! Thanks a lot Cocatoes

However, I seem to have 2 problems :

- when I install the Q3name maker, it doesn't locate Q3 (game) in computer. In fact I don't have it installed.
- anyway, name maker window appears, but I cannot save the new name.

Does it ask where Q3 is installed ?

You may temporarily rename your baseoa dir into baseq3.
You should make a backup of your .cfg before.
You could also rename your "openarena" dir to "quake3" but I doubt it's necessary.

Edit: Oh, I think the way I used it was : opening my .cfg file with some text editor, and copy-paste the special nickname inside it (you have to find the line which sets your name). So, nothing to do with renaming directories.

create an autoexec.cfg inside baseoa, and put all your custom settings in it.... they wont ever get lost or overwritten that way!
