Custom character name.

[59/60 Games]

Is there in any way for the player to be able to name the character themselves? As in , they get the chance to type in a name or something, and the character's name becomes that?

Yes, what RPG maker are you using and what version? New versions of rm2k3 should have it built in, and rmxp should have it built in. If you're using an older version of rm2k3 or most versions of rm2k, then you need to download a patch for it. Once you have a version that allows you to enter the hero name, use the "enter hero name" command.

The only thing is that whenever you use the heros name, instead of actually typing their name (Alex for example) you'll type in \n[1] This will display the first heros name, whatever it may be. Substitute the 1 for a 2 or 3 or whatever for other characters.

I didn't know there was a patch for it. I always thought that translation canceled the idea out.

...do you know what number the patch is, or would it be easy to find through google?

Assuming you're using RM2K...

I wasn't aware there was a 'patch' so much as you completely overwrote RPG_RT.exe... The Italian version of that file fixed the Enter Hero Name so it doesn't freeze the game. Simply replacing the file in the project is sufficient to fix it. Of course, all of your error messages will be in Italian (nome non valido di evento!) The Italian version can be found easily through Google as (I suppose) that would be considered a link to RM2K...

At least, that's how I've always used it.
