how do you create a long user name?

Postby NOBBY (NL) » Sun Aug 23, 2009 2:10 pm

Can someone tell me how you can create a long Wolfenstein multiplayer user name, I can only enter as much as 10 digits.

Thanks

open the console with the ` key (it's to the left of the 1 key). type /name NAME

for colored letters use a ^ with a number after it. something like this:

/name ^6De^7$^6truktor

that would make the De a different color than white, and the $ a different color than the rest of my name.

hope that helps

Or you can bring console down and type /set name (name here)

that way you can do spaces if you have a long name, pardon me im high

Thanks guys but are we talking about the same game? The tilde does open the console, that's what I've tried first.

I am talking about Wolfenstein (the new one).

I was trying to bind a couple names so I could switch between colors but couldn't figure it out.

I had the console open and would type:

bind f9 /setname xxx
bind f9/setname xxx

How should I be doing it?
I'd like to thank MAA for keeping this little piece of wolf history alive so we can all enjoy the game for as long as economically possible or interest allows.

In the new game, the command is: ui_name <name>

But there is still a 10 character limit...Just one more bit of lameness in Wolf2MP

LOL, reminds me of a scene in "High School High" where the guy had to pause and take a deep breath to finish saying his name.

Couldn't find that actual scene but the trailer has some other funny scenes in it.

I loaded Wolfenstein on my brand new PC last night and was immediately depressed that I couldn't use my whole name.... However, after 10 minutes of playing online I was glad I didn't waste time trying to figure out how to get a long name. It blows, and I want my $50 back. See you on the beach.
