Cod 5 Colour Tags

[scottyboy]

Note that the whole name is coloured with the exception of the leading square bracket - and your clan tags are gone to boot.

But something is better than nothing. So here is how you do it:

1. Configuration file technique

Head over to your config file, which is now located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourcomputername\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaWbeta\players\profiles\yourpr ofilename

assuming you have XP

First, make a backup copy of the file: config_mp.cfg

Now, use Wordpad to edit the configuration. Find your clan tags in the configuration and modify it as follows:

seta clanName "^ ^##" <--- theses ^ should not have a space the reason for space here is our emotions come up see


where # is a number from 0 to 9. Note that the number is repeated twice.

For example: seta clanName "^ ^00"

This will set everything to the right of the first square bracket in your name black.

# Color

0 =Black
1=Red
2=green
3=yellow
4=blue
5=cyan
6=magenta
7=white

Beware, I once accidentally changed my tags to "red" and everyone on both teams started shooting at me. This was obviously due to the fact that my tags were red for both the enemy and my team (who thought I too was the enemy). Hilarity ensued.



2. Console Technique

Another technique is make the changes in game. Do this by selecting the console:

/clanname ^ ^##

e.g.

/clanname ^ ^33
