Hi !

I had the same problem a coupla times ago and Mulle did it to me.
But right now in your excessive/docs/names.txt you have all the information about how to create it Winking

Here is mine :
^f1^0^4[m^f2^0^3r^f1^0^4.]^f2^0^3a^f1^0^4V^f2^0^3e

You could broke it like that :
^f1^0^4[m
^f2^0^3r
^f1^0^4.]
^f2^0^3a
^f1^0^4V
^f2^0^3e

Try with yours ! then build your own nick Happy

ave arena ! fraggituri te salutant !

While typing that into the console it's normal to see for example a purple '2'.
After you've finished your name and pressed 'enter' it should flash like expected.
