DarkCampainger	In my game, I want the players to be able to have more than one char. I use the deadron characterhandling for saving and stuff, so I set client/base_num_characters_allowed = 2, but since it doesn't ask for names but just uses their byind keys, it replaces the other saves.... How do i get it to ask for their names when they create a new char? (I'm getting better at this no caps thing)

I just checked the latest CharacterHandling demo to be sure, and it does indeed let you set the name. Try updating to the latest and looking at the demo code.
