Topic: Problem with name change

I think no one said anything to this.
When I bind "k player_name hooker" and I change my name to "nameless tee" (for example) the button k changes my name but it's not visible for other players. I have to press escape, I go to the last letter, delete him and rewrite him and I press one more time escape.

This sucks. Any ideas how to solve this? / Is this bug known and will this be fixed?

no bug, a feature!
No one wants to see German lol-kids who change their name every sec.

Re: Problem with name change

yeah but for example:
The telephone rings and there is a clanwar and you MUST go to the telephone because you are alone at home. You Press "L" and *click* your name changes to "hooker@telephone"

Re: Problem with name change

it's too easy to abuse this function. Just think about the dipshits who abused the emote function for disco-emote-spamming :-/

Re: Problem with name change

Yeah, this was terrible.

But, really. If there won't be a name bind, add a feature which shows your status.
Oh, and if we are already talking about ideas and feautures, I would like to show you more of 'em. wink

1. Question: When will the radar be implented? This... is... This sucks. hmm I use radars really often in any shooter and multi player games.
2. Add more ways to communicate with each other! Like in CounterStrike for example. You press the button "F" and a little menu opens which comes up with messages like:

"Get back to the base!" (Important for defenders)
"Cover me!" (Important for flagcarrier)
"Go, Go, Go!" (Could be important for any situation. Today, at clantraining, I just had this problem that they were staying at the base and I had to type in teamchat that they should move their asses.)

I think Teeworlds isn't just a little multi-player game. Tactics and skills are amazingly important!

Re: Problem with name change

These messages can easily be typed by binding them to a certain key. You could also consider using an external voicechat application for your clan (for example Ventrillo).

Re: Problem with name change

Already thought about that. But in my clan are some guys who can WRITE english but their pronunciation is inapprehensible (right writen?) hmm

Binding keys. Hah, I already thought about that.
Problem: Q and E = Hammer and pistol

I have binds on R, F, C and X. I already have problems with this o_O
