The default save/load menu is useless since the only way you can tell files apart is the date the save was made. My current project allows the players to set their characters own names, so I'd like to replace "File 1" etc. with the character's name - I can't figure out how to get the characters name.
In Window_SaveFile I have:
if @file_exist
# Draw character names
player_names = CharacterName1 + " & " + CharacterName2 #how the hell do I get the name out of a save?
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, 600, 32, player_names)
for i in 0...@characters.size
player_names += @characters.name + " "
end
Try it.
player_names += @characters[i].name + " "
Falcon's line didn't come out properly because the page interpreted it as "change to italics"
That's what the Code tags are for but thanks :)

I've tried a few different things by trying to mimic the way it gets a characters name elsewhere in the code with no luck. The closest I've managed so far is to get an error message with the "name" of the character - which was actually the graphic's name for that character. :l
Ah, okay, I see what you're trying to do. @characters has the graphics name. The following code should work, but it won't give you what you're after.
for i in 0...@characters.size
player_names += @characters[i][0] + " "
end
For what you want, you'd have to load $game_party, then iterate through $game_party.actors to get their names.
However, $game_party is way down in the list, and you might find it slow to bring up the loading screen if it has to show for several save files.
