But I don't appear here anymore: http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/216.52.148.181:3659/top_players/?query=pfa

Gametracker doeant update that automatically. As far as i know it takes 1 hour for that list to be updated or half an hour. So be patient.

But the stats will be the same, right? I won't lose all the minutes of gameplay and score?

If u had previous ones yes, u'll lose the stats

This is what I originally asked you: "Hey Anyder, is that affecting online stats of the profile? I need a permanent change. I think that's what I need. I think if I don't permanently change into ~PFA~ Lord Satan, then Lord Majesty will be pissed."

The whole point of nick changer would be to retain the online stats, otherwise the effect is exactly the same as if I created a new profile in the game, just that I wouldn't have to run nick changer every time.

[Anyder]

Well i guess it is logic and obvious, if u change ur name with a new profile or with the nickchanger u'll reset ur stats.

Isn't the whole point of nick changer to change just nick and retain the stats? I'm not going to start nick changer every time before I start the game, what's the point. I'll just create a new profile called ~PFA~ Lord Satan, because it removes the need to start nick changer. Nick changer - useless.

- the point of nick changer is not to retain stats with gametracker, it was developed so you can use any name in the servers without having to create a new profile. the stats are based on the name displayed in servers only, and they are not near as accurate anyway like the old LucasArts ones used to be (its designed for BF2 remember).
- you can easily create a batch file launcher for the game which will launch the nick changer then the game itself at once.
- nick changer is not useless unless you only plan to use 1 nickname for your entire gaming. battlebelk created this and many other great tools like the custom res launcher to give players more options for their game, i think he would find your comment disrespectful. the profile name has a limit of less characters than nick changer does, and doesn't allow certain special characters.

It's useful only to have bigger names, but for me to type each time I want some other name used as opposed to just clicking the profile name in the game, is tedious. I understand that some people have dozens of usernames, but they have to change each time they use it with nick changer, I don't have to.

It will keep the same name used from last time, you only have to type a new one when you change it. I dont have to type them either, i have a list of all nicknames used in the same folder as nick changer, i can just copy/paste each name this way. and ill know the profile control settings are exactly the same every time. but if you prefer a shorter name without special characters, you dont need to use nick changer at all. Most players here find it useful however.

[Anyder]

Besides u can keep all names u use in the ini file, like i do...

[codergames]

I don't want to copy/paste anything, just click, and I don't change control settings, why would I do that. I think special characters are working in the game without changer. I use only one '~'.

Well, u'd just have to run it before u start ur game lol
U might not change the settings, but I do, so creating new profiles is a "waste" of time, that'd why for me the nickchanger is quite useful.
No they dont, most of these characters dont work - =|·FÇ·|=ÂѥУ® -={ÎñV¡§}=- , and also in the normal profile i wouldnt be able to set as name [FC]Anyder -={InViS}=-

[Phobos]

I was referring to fancy special characters like these -={ÎñV¡§}=-
you can't make a profile with those

you can also have a folder for each nick with its own nick changer so that you just 'click' it once
anyway, if youre not using the custom res launcher or a modified shortcut, you have to wait through startup animations and videos, which takes more time than the copy/pasting would.

Wait a minute. I can play the game in widescreen res?
