It's very simple. You'll need to set your name using the console which is simply:

name "namegoeshere"

To add color, you'll need to put \cX next to any character or word that you want colored. X is any letter from A-I. For a color chart, look here:

One such example would be:

\cc(\cIZooM\cc)\cgSargeBaldy

which says

(ZooM)SargeBaldy

with the word zoom in orange and his name in red. Experiment and see what you like.

You have to add a special sequence of characters to set a color. This sequence starts with "\c" followed by another character (between a and f I think). The exact colors should be in the ZDoom docs or something. My name for example looks like this in the .ini file:
\cab\cbo\ccr\cdi\ces\cf_
That's just boris_ in a bunch of stupid random colors :P

But what is the letter/number to make your name change colors? I saw someones name changing colors.
