My version of Namefun - a Win32 app (95 and NT only) that allows you to

create your name using all the high-ASCII characters, with added support

for clan prefixes. Loads and saves from either Quake config files (with the

_cl_name property set) or imports from and exports to specific positions in

raw text files.

Works with normal Quake, but unfortunately seems to be more or less

redundant with QuakeWorld which does not appear to support extended console

characters. I know it's possible - I've seen it done - but I can't figure

out how, so if someone can do it, let me know and I'll build QuakeWorld

support in to a future version. Currently, you can export as a text file to

do it in QuakeWorld scripts.

It needs VB40032.DLL which is fairly large, and many people have it already

(located in the Windows system directory), but if you haven't it's

available from Microsoft's web site, or from:

I wrote this some time ago and never got round to releasing it properly,

but here it is now :)

Happy New Year,

Alex.
