Is it possible to change the Author name?

Postby Endre! » Wed Sep 09, 2009 9:18 am

Ok. when i bought Algodoo, i registered it in my mom's name because she has a credit card, and i dont.
When i filled in the information i needed to unlock Algodoo, i used my moms name in the User ID.
so everytime i save a scene, it gets saved with my mom as the author.

Is there anyway i can change the User ID name without buying the game again?

I hope people understand my bad explaining.. And my english.

Yes, this is annoying. There will be a fix for it in the next maintenance release, but for now you will have to do it manually. Sorry for that.

I used my grandmothers credit card, and I used my name as the ID and it works fine. And besides, you could just change the author name when saving, just like you had to do in Phun. I don't see the big deal.

Any updates on this? I still don't see this having been fixed.
EDIT: Oh yeah, my bad, it's fixed.

You can't change the name of the license, but you can change the author of the scene in the save dialog.

I believe Algodoo remembers the last name you entered into the dialog box.

I can see how this would be extremely annoying if the name in the box always by default was the name on the license.

Glad you weren't around before. That's what it used to do.
