    We do not use [TG] so please remove that asap.

    1: Click at the end of the box where you have entered you incorrect tag.
    2: Delete everyting that's in that box
    3: Hold down shift key and type \tg\
    4: All that shows in the box is TG but accept that and move to the next screen.
    5: You should see your new "proper" tag at the top of the screen on the left.

    just be sure to read all our rules before you add the tag as wearing the tag is a statement that you read and understand all of our rules, you will be held to a higher standard that a non TG tagged player

    Jazy, the shift+\ combination will only work on certain nationality keyboards (such as UK). Other localised keyboards have their | in a different place.

    I always just copy and paste it from another thread, someone's name, etc. whenever I need to use it somewhere.

    I'm the other Randy Shughart (in TG).

    If you don't know who the real life Randy Shughart was, learn about him here, here, and here.




    Those of us who read the forums are like the Christians. Christianity was not intended for everyone, rather for the few to go forth amongst the many (pub server) and spread the good news (tactics/knowledge). So take the opportinity to witness (lead by example) to a heathen (smurf) by showing them the TG way! Amen!

    Well in the US most standard keyboards have | and \ on the same key... The part about editing your Profile inside the 2142 folder would work as well, but generally once you learn the trick to typing it out, things are just easier to go that way...

    Otherwise: My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\Global.con

    Open the 'Global.con' file in word pad (right click 'Open With...') Then edit the line GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix to be: GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix "|TG|"
