Duplicating a player record with a new name?

[Pakfront]

I am planning on a LAN game with a friend. Is there an easy way to give him a duplicate of my .ppf record so he can play in the game with better gunnery ratings than Lt deFault? I would like this duplicate to have a name different than my player record if possible.

Can I just copy my player .ppf to his computer or will the fact that we both have the same record name cause problems or confusion in multiplayer?

An obvious workaround is to start another record for him on my computer and go to the gunnery range and get the stats up.

Apologies if this is covered in another thread, I did not see anything in search.

He is only going to be as good as he is.

AI gunners are controlled by the host settings ( I think they default to 70) and shouldn't be a factor.

make a copy of it, then try renaming it through windows, see if that works. if it doesnt, at least you have a copy o it to fall back on

ok, just did what i said, and it works on mine, so all he would need to do is right click on the file, change your name to his name, and it should work

90, actually.

Ah, so to confirm, in SP your command's gunnery is determined by your range scores, but in MP it defaults to 90?

Yes.
