Radiation asked me about this, so I thought I'd make a thead telling how it's done. I am NOT an expert in this sort of thing, so others may want to chime in with corrections and/or additions.
First, create a text file called "name.cfg" and put it in my COD\UO folder. I used windows notepad to do this.
Here's an excerpt from my name.cfg. It's enough so that you can get the idea.
I'm not sure, but i believe the wait number is in thousandths of a second.
name ".>--]-0"
wait 10
name "n>--]-0"
wait 10
name "an>--]-0"
wait 10
name "man>--]-0"
wait 10
name "kman>--]-0"
wait 10
name "ckman>--]-0"
wait 10
name "ickman>--]-0"
wait 10
name "tickman>--]-0"
wait 10
name "Stickman>--]-0"
Make sure that the last name you assign is the name you want to display while playing the game. You can use color codes, but someone else will have to explain how to use them; I don't know such things.
Next, create (or edit, if you already have one) a file called "autoexec.cfg" in your COD\UO directory. In it, add the line:
bind F12 exec name.cfg
Of course, change F12 to whatever key you like.
Finally, right click on the shortcut you use to start COD:UO, and select properties. In the target box, add
+exec autoexec
at the end of the line. In my case, I changed:
"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDUOMP.exe"
to:
"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDUOMP.exe" +exec autoexec
This will automatically run your autoexec.cfg file whenever you start the game. I am told that while most games will automatically run autoexec.cfg upon startup, if it exists, for some reason COD:UO does not, so you have to tell it to.
That's it that's all!
