Player name color change commands not working

[Matt]

For whatever reason, no matter what I type into the command prompt, I cannot seem to get the game to change my player name's color. I've tried every combination of commands I've seen; \cXname, \\cXname, \c[X]name and \\c[X]name. The heck am I doing wrong?

don't use capital letters in any step of the process
if you're using the console you have to use three backslashes.

Code: [Select]

name \\\cghorse
if you're setting up an alias or a bind to change your name, it has to be formatted similar to this

Code: [Select]

alias horsename "name \"\\\\cghorse\""

Code: [Select]

bind f "name \"\\\\cghorse\""

all of these would set your name to horse

Thank worked, thank you!
