Username?

Postby Darks0ulz » Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:15 pm

Sorry if this a nub question, but I don't know how to change the ingame screen name from the default Newplayer to my own. I've searched the FAQs and couldn't find anything and search doesn't seem to work for me.

use the /name command in chat...

or click the dropdown menu next to your name in the lobby (same as you change your color.)
Some people talk because they have something to say. Others talk because they have to say something.

Perhaps a bit offtopic... but are there any more console type commands you can use in the chatbox?

Theres also the /****** command for getting a hidden AI system to automatically choose the best possible targets for all your remaining nukes.

EDIT: Drat! looks like they put a filter on the secret command!
"Surely you didn't mean to press that button just then did you?"
"No, nor will i disarm the nukes."
"Oh well, I will have my Fighters shoot them down."
"Sure you will."
"Oh NOES, ITS BEEN PATCHED!!!"

/surrender if you are French :p
It would be well for your government to consider that having your ships and ours, your aircraft and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS. Wars have begun that way, Mr. Ambassador....
