PLAYER NAME

 The legal characters that you can use are :
  • the lower case letters (from a to z)
  • the upper case letters (from A to Z)
  • the minus sign (-), but only if it is surronded by two another characters. Note that there can be only 1 minus sign in the name
  • since the patch 1.08 you can also use the underscore character (_), which works exactly like the minus sign
Note : You can't use the minus sign and the underscore together. It's one or the other, or none of them, but not both.

The name's length must be between 2 and 15 characters, and it must be followed by a zero (not the character "0", but the character with ASCII value 0).

All file names (D2S, KEY, MA*) must correspond to the data name (especialy the D2S file), or else the game think you are cheating : you will be "rewarded" by restarting a game from scratch. When the game is checking this, the case of the letters are no significant : the file name will become the data name. Putting illegal characters in the name (like numbers, spaces, special characters, ...) is left as an exercice to the reader. Anyway, I DO have rename characters whith a number in their name, with no problem).

Valid names :

  • Paul
  • PaulTheBrave
  • Jean-Michel
  • Paul-jr
Illegal names (even if some of them may work)
  • Paul The Fool
  • Paul2
  • Paul_test   (but valid since version 1.08)
  • Paul&co
