Look at the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars scoreboard and you’ll be greeted by a long list of brightly coloured nicknames, in comparison your nice white nickname just doesn’t compare, right? Well this guide will show you how to make a coloured nickname just like them.
It’s really quite simple, each colour is represented by a ‘^’ followed by another character, for example ‘^1’ is the code for red. If you enter ‘^1Quake Wars’ then your nickname will look like ‘
Quake Wars’.
If you want a bit of variety you can define a colour anywhere within your nickname for example ‘^1Quake ^4Wars ^0Center’ will come out as ‘
Quake Wars Center’.
To customise your nickname use the codes bellow in your name.
