Customizing Uplink

I know I can add my own pictures to Uplink (eg: when you search the IAD, InternationalSocialSecurityDatabase, GCD) but is there a way that you can make a specific picture come up when you type in a specific name? Like matching your name to your picture.

Also is there a way you can change to names of the servers you connect to; not just on the map but when you get to their menu screen too.
I hope this isn't asking the impossible. Anyway can anyone help me out?

I don't believe you can match yourself to a picture - I believe the engine randomly does this whenever a new account is created (like ips and bank numbers). I could be wrong, though. Try picking the app apart with your 1337 hax0r stz.

And welcome to the boards Beewee! As for your mod question, I can't help you. Does anybody know if the encrypted Uplink bible tells you how to do this stuff?

This is the difficulty I see with the picture addition files that I see on sites like Modlink. you can add pictures, but there is no way to match them up with an appropriate name. This is particulary weird for pictures of females (as from the Buffy images). (I suspect this is why they stuck to male names in the first place). It's a pity, though. It would be especially nice to be able to pick an image to go with your own name.
