    actually nice idea, prevents from having to open the teambuilder and wait a few secs

    Can't see screen shot due to China's internet problem ;~;

    But by the sounds of it, it looks quite good. Since you don't need to actually load the team builder, it could save some valuable seconds for you to join a mafia game or tournament that is about to start.

    Would it be possible to make it so that teams and usernames aren't tied together at all, or at least have an option for it? It'd make everything so much more convenient, especially for things like script tourneys where you have to stick with the same name.

    In theory there is a possibility.

    It's evidently far too much effort to open the team builder and change your name, or save the team with the name you want for tournament purposes and load that.
    Honestly, I disagree with this idea. People have set names for set teams. Trying to remember all those names would be chaotic. I know. I'm to remember all of my aliases and teams from an old laptop dying.

    As for the original suggestion, I like the idea.

    I agree with Erebyssial that there should be an option. There might be some servers where the trainer name saved in the team is taken by another user.

    If you use alts a lot for laddering purposes, yeah having to change the team's username back and fourth is lots of unnecessary effort. I just wish I could load a team on the server without my username changing. Teams and names being separate is just more flexible and I can't see any downsides to it if it's simply an option.

    I could make a more detailed "formal" suggestion in a new thread for more opinions if you want, because I'd really like it to be given some serious thought.

    Lamperi,
    there is a minor bug in your implementation: the window title contains the wrong username (from the team file)

    Basically, i don't like it. Since, how you will save it again? It is a temporary name or what? I feel it useless on the Server Listing. Since i would want to change Win, Lose, Tie, Description messages from there.

    Well. Could add a button that shows a window to edit those specific things.

    :hides: not going to do it. Can't. No time :( Have to study for 2 exams :o :hides: :points at Lamp, Mystra or Coyo:

    What window? I don't know what window displays the name :X I checked challenge window, battle window, teambuilder, server listing, and chat.
