RENAMING YOUR ACCOUNT

Saw this in a forum, you should try this with your c-mack account Pete, and tell us if it works. I don't want anyone to mess up their account.


To rename your soldier, which the game by default does not allow you to do, you must edit the file "\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Profile.con" and change the first value, in the quotes, to whatever you wish your soldier's name to be. For example, change:

LocalProfile.setName "defaultPlayer"

to

LocalProfile.setName "<your new name>"

This'll be good for Peerce and Kirby if it works.

Ya, that's what I was thinking, but I tinkered with it and had no luck, maybe Pete can figure out where the file is that they are talking about.

1)Navigate over to your "My Documents" folder (Default: C:\Documents and Settings\YOURNAME\My Documents\).
2)Navigate into \Battlefield 2\Profiles\.
3)Open up Global.con using any text editor (Notepad will do).
4)There should be a line that contains the GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix command. Usually, this will be the second line in the file.
5)Whatever is in between the two double quotes following this command will be your prefix. Edit it to your desire. (Example: GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix "-{SF}-")
6)Save the file (File -> Save), and exit out of your text editor.

That's it, you're done! The next time you login to BF2, you should now have the correct prefix. Note that if the changes are made while BF2 is open, it will NOT work. You must have BF2 closed.
