JavaBomberman April 8, 2005 Share JavaBomberman Member April 8, 2005 ok, I have figured where names are correct, and where they are not. 1.) The stats block is wrong. It seems upon loading a new map, the names are fine. As people leave and new people join, the names of those who left are used for the those who joined.... but only to the people who were in before the new person in question joined. So if you join, the names will be fine for you until people leave and new people join while you're there. 2.) The displayed name when someone uses a mic is wrong. It will correspond to the name on the stats block. 3.) The names displayed when seeing enemies, teammates, and the death notices are wrong. 4.) The names when people type in chat and use radio messages (including nades) are right. So, many times you will see someone chat who you don't see at all in the stats block. (or you may even see their name on the other team, or on your team... but an incorrect score.) These are the people who are actually in the server. 5.) The names displayed in console for damage given and taken are correct. This is usually how I determine just who is who, coupled with who is chatting. 6.) I believe that the names displayed in the Join Server box are also correct. So, this is your guide to foil valve's diabolical plot to make us all stop playing cs. It'll never happen, valve! Now just give us VAC2 and accept the inevitable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC April 8, 2005 Share VooDooPC Member April 8, 2005 Do you actually see your own name change? My ini is not set to read only and to my knowlege my name has never changed. But it might look changed to other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruten April 8, 2005 Share Kruten Member April 8, 2005 I think your name always looks the same to you, just to other players it's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavaBomberman April 8, 2005 Author Share JavaBomberman Member April 8, 2005 Yeah, your name is never actually changed unless you go ahead and change it. It just appears that way to others that were in the server before you. (see above ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid April 9, 2005 Share Sid Member April 9, 2005 Yeah the name bug is definately not cool. I got owned by it once already. I suggest to everyone just change your name then change it back every time you join the server. You could create a one button bind for this pretty easily.
