Hi as in the subject title , I basically watched a gearhead 2 video where the npcs had names above their heads, how do I enable this?

Thanks

It only works with the 2D version. You have to open the gearhead.cfg text file (which doesn't appear until after you run the gearhead executable at least once) and then uncomment (remove the # symbol) the NAMESON line.

Personally, I like to use the minimap (uncomment the MINIMAPON line). It works in both the 2D and the 3D versions. I only wish that it used different colors to represent friendlies and hostiles.

Thanks  very much :)

Btw I have kept an eye on gearhead 2 for a while, I enjoy the game but am still not too clued up with many things. However I am glad to see some lets play type vids on the site, more of those , such as a continuation of whats there would help newbies alot.
