Login Name - Steam & Mac

Post by Vykorsa »

How do you change the username on Steam on a mac computer?

I would like my windows computer and mac computer login name to match.

Azarain and Vykorsa in game is the same player (and uses the same character!)

I don't have it installed on my macbook atm so can't say with certainty, but under Documents/Neverwinter Nights there should be a settings.tml
Open that one with a text editor (i.e. text edit), find the line that says name="WhatEverYourPresentUserNameOnMacIs" and change the bit between the quotation marks to what you want it to be.

Hi Tarnus,

Just attempted this. Unfortunately while it is now controlled by the settings.tml the username is not shown in there. Next I attempted to do a search of login (in case it was spelled wrong) and it is not showing there either. Using shift + fn + ctrl + f12 allows me to pull up a debug menu which is supposed to allow me to change it, but the option is showing up blank.
