Joint Operations/Escalation LAN Name Editor

[Slippery Jim]

For the few people that are playing Joint Operations/Escalation I updated my name editor for that game to work with the latest patch (that we all have installed now). It now works with Joint Ops version 1.5.1 and Escalation version 1.1.0.0

Someone contacted me and wanted to use the clan tags and asked about the name editor but I hadn't updated it in over a year. This should work fine to add your clan tags or any other crazy ass extended ascii codes you want to add to your name.

Special Note:
Remember that the name editor only works on LAN games. People who use a tool like Hamachi to play LAN games over the internet can also use this Name Editor.

NovaWorld does not allow modified names on their internet servers. If you have a legit copy of the game I recommend you keep profile #1 for your online games and use the other 4 profiles for LAN games.

What it is
With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication.

Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. It is also free.


What's in it for me
Think - LAN over the Internet.

Think - Zero-configuration VPN.

Think - Secure peer-to-peer.

Access computers remotely. Use Windows File Sharing. Play LAN games. Run private Web or FTP servers. Communicate directly. Stay connected.


Technology
Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking application with an open security architecture and NAT-to-NAT traversal capabilities.

Hamachi is the first application to mix seemingly unrelated networking technologies in one powerful package to deliver an unprecedented level of peer-to-peer connectivity. More ...


Security
Hamachi is secure. All Hamachi communications are encrypted and authenticated with industry-standard algorithms and protocols. Nobody will be able to see what two Hamachi peers are talking about. Not even us.

However what is equally important - Hamachi security architecture is completely open meaning that its detailed description is available for the review to anyone interested. More ...


Ease of Use
A special effort went into designing and polishing Hamachi user interface. The result is sleek, simple and intuitive, while still very much functional. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Hamachi software contains no spyware, bannerware or any other -ware unrelated to its purpose. And it never will.

Exactly.

I have a legit copy of the game for example but sometimes I like to have a COOP game with some friends with their less-than-legit copies. Hamachi allows us to play together.

Frankly it is a lot nicer than having to deal with NovaWorld. With Hamachi running in the background I only see the one game that I want to join on the server list on the LAN screen.
