Is it possible to rename a career in mass effect 2? I have renamed the character ingame but it still says the old name on the career, if anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated. I have been at this for hours.

Yes, you can do that. I uploaded a save from masseffectsaves myself, but I didn't like the name, so I changed it. you need to open chapter save as well as your most recent save that you plan on continuing in gibbed, and make sure that you change the name everywhere it shows up. that means not just from page, but also in raw tab > player (it will be right under facecode info) not sure if you had to change it anywhere else, but try those and if its not enough, just poke around with gibbed and see if it shows up anywhere else. - just back up your saves before you do, just in case. (also - rename your save folder for the character)

Thanks for the reply, I have editted the name in gibbed and the raw file. Is there anywhere else the name pops up? That is how i originally editted it. So besides that I need to rename the save file as "Name"_soldier_12345? I tried replacing the name in hex editing but that corrupted the file.

Edit: also what do you mean by rename the save folder for the character?

I didn't touch hex editor or texmods, I just changed the folder name and the names in raw and front summary page of gibbed. I'm not sure if I changed it elsewhere, its been a while, but I suppose I could run an experiment once I get a hold of my computer... generaly, I would just poke through collections and see if the name shows up anywhere else, if changing folder name doesn't help

Okay here is the easiest way to do it. And a big thanks goes to Pordis Shepard.

Well, there is a safe way and a slightly more adventurous way.

background
The career files are named: <name>_XY_<class>_<date> where
X is the Origin: 0-none, 1-Spacer, 2-Colonist, 3-Earthborn
Y is the Notoriety: 0-none, 1-Sole Survivor, 2-War Hero, 3-Ruthless

The string within the file is "<name> - <class> - <date>" : 3 fields separated by space-hyphen-space

implementation
In the career view of me2 the descriptions come from 2 places: a Display name string within each career, and the name of the career file. Let's say the career file is named: John_23_Vanguard_230411, and the string within the career is "Luke - Adept - 170111". The information on the career browsing screen would be: Luke, Adept, Colonist, Ruthless, 23/04/11. That is the name and class seem to be read from within the file, and the origin, notoriety, and date seem to be from the career filename.

The safe way
Start a new career with the name and class you want, then insert any modded saves you want within it.

The adventurous way
You can hex edit the career file, or use the experimental tool on my project page "DisplayNameEditor". All this tool does is let you edit the string within the career file (English only, although that could be changed). I made a few sanity checks before changing the string, but I can't guarantee that this program will not change something in an incorrect way. For one thing, the me2 creator allows fewer characters in a name than either this tool or Gibbed. I don't know of any problems this causes, but it might.

[edit] Also, I don't check that you enter a correctly formatted string. I don't rehash/resign the file---use your usual tool for that.

Choose wisely and make backups. Let's be safe out there folks.
