I am trying to fix an old script but am new to python.
The script all works except for when it needs to write the player's name into the script.

The Problem: It only broadcast the last name instead of the full name of the player

Info about the situation and script:
-This script generator creates scripts to run on a game server to control who can play and who can spectate.
-The script uses two external files(lineup.txt & signups.txt) to determine who can play in the next round.
-The game has a UID(unique identifier) for each player and this is used in commands to control whether they play or not.
-The lineup file is grabbed from ingame to determine who is in the server. This file also shows what server slot the player is in, their uid, what state they are in(playing or spectating), their chosen number, which dirt bike size, brand and year and finally their name ingame.
-The signups file is grabbed from a website that manages signups and qualifying times(for the racing game).
-The script in a nutshell compares the uids from each file and discards any that aren't on both list(so any players who didn't show up or sign up to the event are not included)

This is the main script:
def heatsplitter():
    #MXS Heat Splitter v4 by Sammy Holt

    #This script will take information from a lineup file and generate heat scripts to be run by mxserver
    #This version will use a signup file to parse the lineup file and only include the UIDS which are signed up
    #Make sure all output files are completely empty
    #Also, paste lineup file data into "lineuptest.txt"
    #DO NOT RENAME FILES, the script will fail
    #If you must change data, simply cut and paste into the designated file

    #Planned Features:
    #-Add a user defined amount of heats(In Progress)
    #-Easier file handling(Timeframe Unknown)

    #This section takes input from the user for initial file generation

This is what it creates:

This is an example of what it should create:
Output:
#mxserverscript
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------
broadcast  Heat 2 - 8 Laps - Top 4 Transfer
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------
allignore all
settrack 1
forcespec all
broadcast  Lochlan Berg | FGR
forceplay 28971
broadcastto 28971  You are in: Heat 2
broadcast  
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------
broadcast  1 Riders
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------
broadcast
And this is what it creates now:
Output:
#mxserverscript
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------
broadcast  Heat 2 - 8 Laps - Top 4 Transfer
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------
allignore all
settrack 1
forcespec all
broadcast  Berg
forceplay 28971
broadcastto 28971  You are in: Heat 2
broadcast  
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------
broadcast  1 Riders
broadcast  ---------------------------------------------------------------

Why are you using raw_input? Use input, unless you are using python 2.7. Then, I would recommend using python 3

I tried to refactor you code. It's hared.
First you use Python 2.7.
I guess you also don't know format strings, context managers and pathlib.

Here what I've done so far:
Hide/Show
Keep in mind, that some methods are wrong. The code is not working.
For example you append text to your files. I replaced the open files with Path objects, so the open Method must be used.

Some variables can created with a mapping (dict).
    color_mapping = dict(
        zip(
            ["red", "green", "aqua", "blue", "white", "black", "yellow", "purple"],
            count(31),
        )
    )
Repetitive code should be moved into functions.
For example you're creating from variables the Paths and then you open the paths, then you append text to them.
This could be splitted into 3 functions. get_paths, create_text, write_text_to_files.

def get_paths(h1, h2):
    scripts = Path("C://Scripts")
    h1_warmup = h1 + "warmup"
    h2_warmup = h2 + "warmup"
    h1_nr = h1 + "nr"
    h2_nr = h2 + "nr"
    h1_nrwarmup = h1 + "nrwarmup"
    h2_nrwarmup = h1 + "nrwarmup"

    heat1script = (scripts / h1).with_suffix(".mxs")
    heat2script = (scripts / h2).with_suffix(".mxs")
    heat1warmup = (scripts / h1_warmup).with_suffix(".mxs")
    heat2warmup = (scripts / h2_warmup).with_suffix(".mxs")
    heat1nr = (scripts / h1_nr).with_suffix(".mxs")
    heat2nr = (scripts / h2_nr).with_suffix(".mxs")
    heat1nrwarmup = (scripts / h1_nrwarmup).with_suffix(".mxs")
    heat2nrwarmup = (scripts / h2_nrwarmup).with_suffix(".mxs")
    return (
        heat1nr,
        heat1nrwarmup,
        heat1script,
        heat1warmup,
        heat2nr,
        heat2nrwarmup,
        heat2script,
        heat2warmup,
    )
This returns only paths.
Another function could prepare the text.

If you use more functions, you code will be less repetitive.
Sometimes you can't avoid it, but in the most cases it's a sign for a bad program structure.

If you open your code in a modern IDE like PyCharm you get warnings over warnings in all colors.
