This works in the Post Build 12 mods. I Build 12, open PROGRAM\BuildSettings.h, change the character name setting, then press [N] ingame to change your name.

it looks like this right?


ReloadProgressUpdate();

makeref(ch,Characters[0]); //Blaze Devlin
//ch.perks.list.InstantBoarding = true;
ch.name = "Nathaniel";
ch.lastname = "Hawk";
ch.id = "Blaze";
ch.nation = START_NATION; // NK 04-09-06


I change "Nathaniel Hawk" to another name, save the file, and start a new game
then i press the N key
then i can change their name
is that what ur talking about?

In the Post Build 12 mods it's easy, just click your character's name, press Backspace, type your new name and press Enter to confirm. Only if you use Build 12 (without additional mods) do you need the N key.

Go To
POTC Folder/Program/BuildSettings.h file

#define FIRSTNAME "Nathaniel"
#define LASTNAME "Hawk"

You change these 2 names to whatever you want.
