Team Fortress on LAN

[imported_Nacelle]

Ok, I know it's possible to use the same account for multiple players on a lan. I was wondering how does one change their name in a lan game? With Counter Strike, it's right there in the menu. But, there is no option in Team Fortress 2. Everyone has the same name with a number corresponding to the order in which they logged onto the server. That really blows. If you're going to say, "buy another copy of the game." Save it. I'm not going to buy the same game for every one of my kids. We take turns when playing on the internet.

You can't change your name from whatever it's set to on your steam communities profile in TF2, so I don't think its possible to have different names if you're playing on the same account

setinfo "name" in the console while on the server?

For some reason they don't let you change names anymore. You might be able to add it to the config file but somehow i doubt it.
