Title: Coloury name~~
Post by: Asatoth on May 06, 2007, 01:18:21 PM
Ok, I may be stupid, but still, IƤve been playing PB2 for soon about 2 months and saw that many people has coloured names, tried to find the code for that in the options, but could't find them, so my question is then, how do I get a colour in my name?

Bring down console ("~" ("^" for EU-keyboards)) and enter menu setup_funname.

Hit the key next to the one ~ or ^ and then type menu setup_funname.

If you are using build 17 pretest 3 you can also get this menu by going to the Multiplayer Setup and then clicking on Advanced below your name.

On the main menu there should be a button labelled "console". Press that and type in menu setup_funname.

Maybe you should put it in your menus, Zorch, for people with b16

That's a good idea, or how about an even better one! Get rid of funnames altogether!! =]

With the next menu release I will. But its going slow. Busy week and even busier weekend. But I still like Spooks idea. :)

I post where necessary, and i don't go around posting useless excrement. Also, i don't have my own computer so that's why i logged out :P

Removing funnames, at least all those freaky fonts and alien faces, altogether would solve the problem that newbies are asking for funnames ;)

I have a menu that sets my name to different themes/colors if anyone wants it.  You could use it to just change names if you're not a rainbow person...

if you're not a rainbow person...

Haha! You might want to rephrase that.

... I hate you ... :)

Edit:
Hold up. You're the one using them. :P Not me. So:
"...if you're not a {appy Hamper person"

I win. :D

I wish I could see the time it took for you to edit, there lightning-wit.  However, I usually don't use colors because my name is too long.  so there.

mostly I was just intending to give you the friendly put-down since we're in different states now.

--back to the topic--
if anyone wants the name menu, just PM me your names, and I'll format it and send it back.

I'm not up with all the clan stuff, but I could also probably make a button that adds/removes the clan tag to the current name.
