Css

[VirDeBello]

For some reason I can not change my in-game name in CSS. It just stays at VirDeBello and changes to nothing else. I tried to put my tags back in but they don't stay. So what happened? Or whats the console command to do it?

[raven maniac]

do you have a cfg in that changes your name back to "VirDeBello"?

if you cant change it in the options menu then just goto your cstrike folder then to cfg and change your config.cfg and put a line in at the end to say: name "[tags] VirDeBello" and it should change your name.

[Lemmings19]

The console command for a name change is:

name <name>

Minus the brackets.

The console command for a name change is:

name <name>

Minus the brackets.

You will need to put the name in quotes if you have spaces in the name.

You may have your config set to "read-only". Change this by going into your cstrike folder, right clicking your config.cfg, clicking properties, and unticking the box for "read-only".

you probably change it then hit cancel. Make sure to hit "apply" before exiting the options menu or it will not change your name.

Could you give me an example lol?

Go to your Counter Strike : Source cfg directory.
Path : Path\Steam\steamapps\SteamUser\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg
Where the underlined Path is the path to the Steam directory on your Hard Drive, and the underlined Steam User is your Steam ID.
In the CFG directory you find config.cfg and other files, don't delete or modify any of them, just create a new text document.
Open that new text document you made and introduce this stuff in it :

name VirDeBello Likes Cheeseburgers

(of course you can change VirDeBello Likes Cheeseburgers to what name you would like to have in game) and save the Text Document.
Now after you saved the document, you should rename it to autoexec.cfg
If you have Windows XP and can't see the file extensions, on Windows Explorer, go to TOOLS -> Folder Options -> View -> Uncheck the : Hide extensions for known file types Field.

You can always modify the name in the autoexec.cfg file to your heart's desire, but the changes will take effect only when the file is loaded by CSS, aka when you start the game.

Also if you don't want to fuss with making new files, you can just change config.cfg status from Read Only.

I most certainly can!

AndreiD, yours is also correct but in your code if you have spaces in the name you need to use "" around the name :thumbup:

[AndreiD]

The "" aren't compulsory, this is my autoexec.cfg and it works for me ! :
