From what I heard it generates a unique ID by several means, exactly to prevent smurfing/namehiding and also to prevent people from circumventing bans (even if they're able to change their IP address).
So it's probably best to give up on the idea.

You can change the nickname [that is client side(or was last update I played)] but The unique ID is sever side and unchangeable [I think ask Rampastien he made the client(I think)]. Like Bittah said.
But why do you want to name hide anyways, what have you done TZR? What have you done!?

I made one client, FunkyFr3sh made another. I know how the mechanism works, but I don't support smurfing so I won't tell you. Sorry.

I have to say that as long as there is no ladder, ranking system or any other scoring system (*), I wouldn't mind smurfing.
It's not like you destroy someone else score when doing it.
And when you are well known (feared), then it can be indeed a problem to find someone else to play with you.

(*) the games scoring system can be ignored, since it can't even save the score correct in hallfame.dat (TS always stores the last games score on place 1, regardless how miserable or good, and moves all other scores down)

With the ego of various "top players" on CnCNet it should (in theory) be easy to find games if you're skilled Razz

But yeah, I've played other online games and ending up against a smurf as a beginner there is very annoying, so I don't personally support the practice. There's a reason why Funky made the feature.

Bittah is being sarcastic because you misunderstood what he has said in first place..

just wanted to say i ban him from my games cause hes a well known shit talker. he comes into your games and  usually tries to get buddy buddy with you like a weirdo and then proceeds to verbally abuse the shit out of you once ingame. i usually kick people who try to start conversations with me or use the game as a means to verbally bully and abuse players. thats what trz is known for and why hes banned. is he good? ya hes pretty good. ive recorded some matches of him getting his ass kicked tho lol. just i dont put up with people who torment and harass me and others have dealt with his shit too.

only a idiot would let this abuser have a chance to abuse them.
