Howdy! I've had fun playing with y'all so far, but I've got a question regarding the clan tag.

I'm really weird about my username, and I prefer to keep my username, like, vanilla, when I'm not on an EGO server. (Don't hurt me!)

The thing is, it's kinda annoying going into the dev console and changing the darn thing every time I log on. Is there a way to make a keybinding to do it? I've tried a whole lot of variations on bind d "setinfo name "=(e)=™ Mo0"" but whenever I try to use it, with quotes added or taken out of various spots, it tells me "syntax: setinfo <tag> <value>", basically saying "That's not right!"

Is there a trick to setting it on a binding that I'm missing? >_>
 
Put this in your autoexec config:

bind "D" NAME
alias NAME "setinfo name ""=(e)=™ Mo0";bind "D""name2"
alias name2 "setinfo name "Mo0"

Tell us if it works.
 
non-eGO servers? where? I'm confused.... course I can't say that, I was forced to play on an FPSbanana server for about 15 minutes earlier while I waited for a slot to come open in 2fort =P
 
I wasn't aware you COULD change your name in console in TF2, since it binds your name to your STEAMID avatar. To change my name I had to change my STEAM name, and I didn't know there was a quick command to do that.

[/quote1208648538]Meh, basically the thing is that I've got a bunch of buddies on my steam list that, when I put the clan tag in my name, started going "wth are you doing with a clan tag? :("

Also, that binding gave me the same error, unfortunately. :(
