Project Reality Forums

Hey guys, im trying to figure out if you can dissable the player names that are above there guy in game, i remember you had to be admin of a server to do this in bf 1942 and its mods, i found out to get rid of your hud you input renderer.drawhud 0,1 and was simply wondering if they actually made a console command to remove the names like this....would be great for movies and stuff. Please let me know if its the same way as bf 1942 or if its different.

Do you mean while using battlerecorder? If so I have found click 'restart' the do NOT press spacebar, and none of the player names should appear.

that should do the trick!

that doesnt work anymore I thought

u gotta go in to the .con file and do it there, but you will get kicked for it, so make a copy of ur PR folder for it.

yea i tried last night with this at least i think it was the same thing, i will copy down and try this but i am almost sure it will not work, names should be taken away anyway increases realism ten fold....that discussion is for another day though, can u explain a little more dr2b rudd?

not using the battlerecorder btw

Well since i know editing the .con file will get you kicked does anyone know a better way to remove the tags because i use fraps, i guess i will check out BR however i plan not to use it really, so please if you can remove nametags with a console command or do it in the code where you wouldnt get kicked for it please let me know.

Also since im on the subject now is there a possibility to get the console command renderer.drawnametags [0,1] back in the upcoming release?

is there a way around the .con/kick solution that u know of.


Also if there is another way that it can be done that anyone knows of please let me know because i dont really want to mess with the code really.


sorry should have looked for a the .con fix before i said that found it in another thread from a while ago and if anyone wants it:

You can remove the tags with editing the file "GameLogicInit.con" located @ C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield2\mods"Modname" Make a Back-up first. Then add the following line at the bottom of the text and(you can open it with notepad or w/e): renderer.drawNametags 0. Battledirctor does it automaticly so u dont have to change anything, but if you dont use BD then you have to change it, but also remove it as soon you want to play online again, or else you would be kicked.

Change the file to read-only

the .con file im guessing?


edit. thank you soooooooo much mora, for everyone who wants to get rid of there nametags this works online without problems, change the gamelogicinit.con file to have renderer.drawnametags 0 at the bottom and then make it a READ-ONLY file (very crucial, will kick you if you dont do this). and ur good to go...thanks again mora
