Ok i was in TF2 and i was wondering where i would go to change my playes name...cant seem to figure it out...this kind of stuff normally comes easy to me but for some reason it has been a horrible day with technology today....i looked in options under all the tabas and and even the online stuff still couldn't find it...is there a way to change ur name?..lol thanks

You have to do it in your Steam profile. When you open steam, go to the community tab --> Edit Steam ID. You can change all your profile information that is viewable by the public, as well as your in-game name (your Steam ID). This differs from CS:S in that you have to change it here. Hope that helps.

ok that worked for me...lol...not saying that i agree with the way that they did it, but ooh well....THANKS HITMAN!
-
No problem! Thats what I'm we're for.

I Wanted to thank Hitman Smurf and the others that took time out to help me learn a little of the ropes of TF2 i still suck at it, but whatever...lol...practice is all i need and i will only get less sucky

Also, if you want to change your name in the console (although I have been told your name changes back after a map change/leave the server), you can type
"setinfo name namehere"
into the console. (Without the quotes, of course. :P)

Bah. I Want to edit my above post, but I don't know if I can't, or I'm being stupid and can't see the button..
It doesn't matter if you have the quotes or not. :P

Is it like the gungame sigs bb code? I'm trying different things right now so if I get it right then great. :iamwithstupid:

Thanks again Smurf for helping me out with my sigs. :thebirdman: Shove it in my face cuz I'm not good with the stuff :flamed: I did figure it out though thanks to Steve and his walkthrough. He should really post that for people like me.

I discovered that you can cahnge your name in TF2 from in the game....
1)Press shift+tab (of whatever you have bound to open up the steam overlay)
2) then click on the friends button at the bottom right
3) click on view at the top of the little menu that pops up
4) then go to settings and that opens a new window where you can change your nickname to whatever you want it to be :D
