Wearing |TG| tag correctly.

percu · 10-29-2005, 12:41 PM

As many more of us use the TG tag in our player names when we play, I have noticed that it is used in many variants. Is it a correct way to use them, or is it enough that we use TG first in the player name.

Example:
|TG|Percu
|TG| Percu
TG Percu
TG_Percu

You left out the [TG] variations!

And it doesn't really matter, IMO...

It's gonna take a lot of hussle to have all players where the same tag. Not worth it IMO.

*shrug*

TG isn't what you wear or how you wear it...it's all about the style in which you play.

I'd say |TG| is the corect way. Unfortunately, DICE, in all it's wisdom, doesn't allow us to use the "|" character in clan tags. Hence the discrepencies. I'd say lTGl (lower case L) is the best alternative - better than [TG], TG, and TG_ - since it looks closest to the original.

Of course, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to make a |TG| tag specifically for play on the TG server as we aren't ranked anyways.

personally I like the |TG| Phantom tag the best

Just a not if you play Civ 4 do not use any windows illegal character. It will cause it to hang when joining a game.

There is a workaround for you to be able to use "illegal" characters in the name, check the Tech help forum.

From perry's post in tech help:

Seems like the new prefix introduced in the 1.0.3 patch only allows [ and ] as "special" characters. That's a limitation of the input box, because you can actually use | to make the "proper" TG tags. Stolen from this thread:

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 2\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 BF2, you should now have the correct prefix. Note that if the changes are made while BF2 is open, it will NOT work. You must have BF2 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.

Yay, my post has been quoted again! Even though the original post isn't mentioned in this one, I still feel honored! Hehehe.

Yeah, you can easily add the |TG| prefix to your name with Notepad. Or VI. Or whatever text editor you prefer.

And I thought the super-best way was to get a new account with the |TG| prepended to you name without space.
On a side-note I like [tg] actually. It looks kindof modern.

I think it looks best with Lace Undies
but that's just me

Can anyone put the TG tag on? What are the requirements before you can slap on a TG tag?
