[quote="General Tso"]Is it possible to create a mod for MOH so that more than one person can save multiplayer names, skins and settings without manually changing them each time? That way siblings, roommates, and children could have their own persona etc.

this isnt quite a mod, but its what i do.

i have 2 cousins that play too and i hate having to go into the player options and changing things everytime i play (it was a nightmare when my brother and I were taking turns playing a level.)

so basically what you need is a new .cfg file for each persona. for me i had magnesium12.cfg and my bro had brother.cfg
in the cfg's you can specify name and skins and maybe other stuff (im not sure what all the config files contains really) and save them to the /main folder. not the config folder but the main one.

then in the game, if my brother was just playing and hands off to me, i bring down the console, type "exec magnesium12.cfg", and that executes the config file thats sitting in the main folder. thus instantly changin your name and skins etc. then when he takes over then he brings down the console again and types "exec brother.cfg" and his skins and name is inputted into the game right away too.

ive only used this for skin and name changes but setting i havent tried yet so let me know how it goes for that.
