You need to build a Merchant Barking module in the droid, and you need Advertising IV to use it.
Naming of the droid is tedious at best (it's a sore spot for some of us here). Do this:
1) Select a command from the Program option on the droid's radial
2) Immediately say the proposed name of the droid including its command, like "Bob follow" for the command Follow Me. You will see a little "!" float up from the droid when it receives it properly.
3) Do that with three or four droid commands and the droid will register the name.
4) You can then go back and change the commands to whatever you want and the droid's name will stay there.
Important note: You will need to follow these guidelines:
- 25 characters for less, no spaces
- No vulgarity (obviously the SOE name filter is on)
- No numbers (spelling out numbers is acceptable, I believe)
- Biped droids cannot be renamed
Hope that helps.
