Wearing of |TG| tags

[Eroak]

You will see players on the servers using the |TG| tag in their name when they play on the server. Players who become regulars quickly ask: may I use the TG tag in my name?

Anyone who endorses and practices our playstyle and rulesets may wear the TG tag when playing on our or other servers. Bottom line: if you support TG for what it is and want to show that support, the TG tag is a good way to do it. Many players who love it here choose not to sport the tag in their playername, and that's fine, too, if that's what you prefer. The option is there for you to take or leave.

We love it when people support this community with Supporting Memberships, but it's still not required to wear the TG tag. The same goes for when you play on non-TG servers. You are representing the community. If you are wearing the TG tags while on another public server, We expect you to show your TG support by holding to our rules and conduct. Even if that means tactical disadvantage.

TG tag SOP:

In BF2142, adding tags is easy as pie compared to older games where it proved to be a tad harder. With TG tags, our standrad format is 1 line, TG, then 1 more line. |TG|. In-house Squads format is one line, TG, Dash, IHS#, then one line. |TG-1st|.

Easy as pie is one thing, but adding lines is a tad tricky for some. As the lines don't apper in the Tag box when we select our soldier. Even though they don't apear, you can still type it in and they will register. Sometimes it works and sometimes you have to play around a bit to get it to place correctly. If that fails there is one last way to place it that always works. It's a few more steps but only takes 3 minutes.

1. Open up Windows Explorer, your Terminal, or whatever file browser you may be using.
2. Navigate over to your "My Documents" folder (Default: C:\Documents and Settings\YOURNAME\My Documents\).
3. Navigate into \Battlefield 2142\Profiles\.
4. Open up Global.com using any text editor (Notepad will do).
5. There should be a line that contains the GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix command. Usually, this will be the second line in the file.
6. Whatever is in between the two double quotes following this command will be your prefix. Edit it to your desire. (Example: GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix "|TG|")
7. Save the file (File -> Save), and exit out of your text editor.
8. That's it, you're done! The next time you login to BF2142, you should now have the correct prefix. Note that if the changes are made while BF2142 is open, it will NOT work. You must have BF2142 closed.

This method can also be used if your prefix gets "stuck" and you can't change it for one reason or another. Just edit the file and put in what you what.
