[OldBloke]

It was only BB and Dr Git that suffered, I'm still learning.

Okay I'll fess up........if you want to add a Clan tag you can do so by going into your
 
COD4 main file
Players
Identitities
and you can add your tags there:)

You technical types scare me BB:D......forget config files, just follow the simple path I gave, save and exit, go to game and your tags are there when you play.

OK Lets start again.

Are you talking about browsing around in Internet Explorer to C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main\ in order to find your tag settings

Or are you saying that you can get it from within the CoD4 main program (because you can't in my copy!)

Either way there is nowhere in my config file and nowhere within my program interface that allows me to set tags (I am using the PC version not the console version)

Okay, we are good to the Modern Warfare part.....Main is one of the options, but go directly to Players\Identities.....and provided you have set identitities in your Multiplayer Options, you can now edit these with tags (ie) you set BlueBall in Multiplayer, now go to Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Players\Profiles (my bad there BB).....(you will see BlueBall), click on this and set your tags and BlueBall and save.
 
Come out of that file and login to COD4 as normal and you should see -=[dMw]=-Blueball

When I go to my cod4 folder I see:



When I start CoD4 I see:



and selecting options/multiplayer options gives me:



I have just tried setting the name in the config_mp.cfg by hand but it still shows as "-=[dMw]=-BlueBa" because of the 15 character limit. If I set it in multiplayer options screen (shown above) I am still limited to 15 characters.

So, is there an entry you need to create in config_mp.cfg that allows tags to be added (such as the seta name "dMw|BlueBall" for setting your name).

PS try setting your name to -=[dMw]=-DingoBall and let me know what you get

Tried the DingoBall option which will display in the profile file but it drops the Ball when I go online.
 
Have you had any luck using the  |  because it rejects it in player profile saying "files can't contain etc" and the only option i have is to leave it out of a tag!!

What file are you referring to as the "profile file"? Is it config_mp.cfg?

What do you mean "it" rejects the "|" in player profile? I'm not changing my profile name; my profile name is BlueBall. All I am changing is my in-game name using the option under "Options//Multiplayer Options" and that only takes 15 characters

Is it just me or is this becoming painful??

[Dingo]

Oh, my head hurts now:)
 

 
 
DingoBall through in game multiplayer option works......through player profiles doesn't.

but dmw|DingoBall is less than 15 characters so it was bound to work.

Were you actually trying to change the name of your profile folder (C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\Dingo\) to dMw|Dingo?

[Dingo]

yes I was, but it refuses to let me use the |   :sad:
 
I have to go to multiplayer option in game to amend it
