just set your player name in main menu -> options -> player -> name

No, I want to create multiple teeworlds launchers, each of which run teeworlds with specified player name. Therefore, I need to set player_name through the command line parameters.

That's kind of hard, since the game stores its data in one specific folder. You can, of course, use a portable teeworlds. The trunk can do what you are asking, I just don't know how.

Re: How to run teeworlds with specified player name?

you can run the client like the server with the "-f" parameter

u can take your settings.cfg from config folder and copy it to the normal teeworlds folder...
than rename it... e.g. name1.cfg... copy it as often as u want and set a different name in every config.

than run the client with "teeworlds -f name1.cfg" or what ever u will call your config files....
this should work but u cant change settings ingame than... well u can but it wont be saved to the specific setting but to the normal settings.cfg in config folder

uptee - a simple web interface for hosting and maintaining teeworlds servers

Re: How to run teeworlds with specified player name?

Thx, all.

I understood why not work teeworlds "player_name name". Because the first command line parameter change the player_name to «name», and then executing settings.cfg change name back. And same problem with "-f" parameter sad

Tonight I'm gonna fix this feature in source code :3
