Question about Finn's Editor Naming Abilities

[hardcor2]

If you have someones name set as a last name only and check the box does it affect anything?

ex. If I set Ahmard Hall's PBP name as "Hall" and check the box. Does it mater if it's checked or not if it's only the last name to begin with?

no, it shouldnt do anything if it's a last-name only to begin with. what the checkbox does is change the player type to "created" from "default," but i dont know what that practically does aside from dropping the first name from PBP.

who knows maybe it could cause instability if your entire file of 1937 players were edited to be "created" player types. im not sure anyone knows. basically, i wouldnt utilize it for cases like "Hall" where it's unnecessary.

also, the checkbox will not work at all (even if it IS a fullname) if the player being edited "shares" his last name slot with another player (font for the word last will be red).

That's basically what I thought, but I figured there was no harming in asking. Thanks.

no problem, it hasnt been answered-- it's good to get these questions answered out in the forums for the few people who search for their answers & so we can relink to these threads rather than retype answers
