How to bind a button to change nickname?

[PanzerIV]

Hello. I'm usualy pretty good in computers though I hate programming.. but doing an Autoexec.cfg isn't that hard, mostly if you look online to know how a valid "string" should look like. However I must have tryed between 30 to 60min, I can get absolutely everything to work UNLESS my goddamn binds to change my nickname while in-game. I know it's possible since I seen people doing it to change color scheme. I'll explain you my issue then I'll write the content of my Autoexec. The nickname binds that I've tryed and "seems" valid are the 2 lines on the bottom.

The problem is that when I load the game, I can set anything in my nickname then press Apply, it will stay. However as soon as I join a game online it will revert back to PanzerIV in white, which is my account name. Now while still in-game, if I press any of these 2 nickname binds, it does nothing at all. If I go back in options and add color to my nickname (cause I can't change it, it will revert to PanzerIV), then it works and say in the chat that I've changed my name to still PanzerIV but with color. Now if I press any of my 2 binds it will revert to PanzerIV without colors. Seriously.... wtf!?! :rolleyes:

im not sure but i dont think you can change your name in game,
only the color.

bind "KP_PLUS" "ui_name '^4Panzer^2IV82'" "" "default"

Are you sure the key you are trying to bind is named correctly? try "kp rightarrow"

this is correct, you can't change your nickname in game.. only the clantag...
so if your Nickname (loginname) would be Panzer you could create a clantag named IV88
and change that one to IV82 when you feel like it...

you can change your colors though :)
