choosing name and having NPCs say it throughout the game

That's cool, I'll just look around.

And no, Steve is just an everyday name (at least where I am).

In 2k-3 isn't there a imput name button you can click on that sets it up atuomaticly for you? I don't remember what version of RPG Maker you're using; and I'm not entirly sure if XP has that button. I'll check it out tomorrow on another computer 'cause Win Vista is incompatable with RPG Maker 2k-3 and XP, though is compatable with RPG Maker 95 XP upgrade.

Actually, RM2K3 and RMXP are compatible with Vista - I've got them both installed on my Vista drive, and they work poifectly.

RM2K3, I believe he's using.

New event, set it up how you want to. If it's Auto-Start, or if it's an event that the user can keep on hitting (for example, it's at the start of a really big map and they can go anywhere - including back onto the name event) then you can use either preconditions or a conditional branch with a Switch so that they can only use it once - If HeroReNamed Switch is OFF Then Allow Rename + Turn HeroReNamed Switch ON Else Do Nothing.

To input a custom hero name, it's on the second page of the event commands - Enter Hero Name. Click it. You want the character set to be Hiragana, and the character to be renamed is selected from the drop down box. You can tick the box to show the default name, but I haven't worked out how to delete characters when you're inputting them, so you're kinda stuck if that happens.

Hope that helps.

Alright, so I got the event "Enter hero name", but I guess "/n[1]" doesn't work to make everybody say the input name.

Does anybody know how to make the NPCs I made say the chosen name? Is there a script or is it a simple event?

If we were speaking RMXP then yes there is a script but for RM2k3 there is a simple button thing.

By the way the /n[1] is a RMXP script I used at one point so that is not it.

Ah, so to make NPCs say the chosen name, there is an event? Could you tell me the event this is?

Thank you.

Eh, you know what I was wrong it is in both RM2-3 and XP. I will tell you the problem your having in about 20mins from this post, with pictures.

I'M Saying... well, to be honest, there are the imput name thing... but i still doesn't know how to use it though maybe bluecube know it... by the way, i'm using rpgmaker2k3... 'steve' is weird though  if your name is steve, its not you!

It doesn't work right on my vista, it gives strange errors every so often. Now on they other hand I made a statement without checking it out, that is I don't actually know if RM2-3 is compatible with Vista since I haven't tried it. I've only tried RMXP. So maybe RM2-3 has less issues with vista.

If they refuse to work properly for you, then why not try running them in Compatibility mode? Right Click the game .exe > Properties > Compatibility > Set it to Windows XP SP2.

My 2K and 2K3 both work on my Vista. My crack Xp didn't work and I never really liked it enough to buy it and get the vista patch.

I really want to try VX and see if I really want to redo all I've done with my current project to a new version.
