Change Name [KyleD]

[greenie]

This plugin allows players to change their name without having to access the console.

This is especially useful in DoD and TFC, because in these games Valve disabled the name field in the multiplayer options with the hint that the Friends name should be altered instead, but this doesn't have an effect.
