Renaming Profile Name
Hope this is the right area, but in the "Savegames" if I rename the "jdg50legomaster.profile" to "Jdg50Legomaster.profile" Will the name change in game?
In other words, can I rename the savegame file to change my ingame name?

Re: Quick question
Do you mean rename your world/description? Go to C:\BF2_ModTools\data_***, you should see a file called "edilocalize". It is a batch file. Open it up to "planetname" (someting like that).

No, My single player name is "jdg50legomaster" and I wanted to change the j to a capital J.

I don't know, but a good way to find out would be to try it. Make a backup if you're worried something might go wrong.

Re: Quick question
@modmaster13: How did you figure with that answer? It's completely way off from what the original question is clearly asking.
@Jdg50: Your profile name will change but only on the profile menu. It will remain the same everywhere else in game.

Re: Renaming Profile Name
it may can work if you overwrite your old name in the profile file.
it's right you only what to change a j to J right??
rename your profile file and open with editor. search for every part your name is displayed. change all j to J it may can work. when i tried it i added some new letters.

He means it may work for Jdg because he only wants to change a letter, not adding some like he did.
Doubtfull.
