Changing Names

This is a very n00bish question, but I need to ask it.

How can you change the names of the actors to the name you input under the "Name Input Processing" event command?

Goes automagically after the player inputs a name.

It didn't for me...

Maybe something is wrong with your scripts. Post the Window_Name_Input or whatever and Scene_Name.

I think he means that it will change when message is shown..
To do that you need a command but don't know it >.<

If Snailer is right, you need to use \n[X] in messages if you want to show the actor's real names. X is the ID of the actor in the database.

I know that yeah.

Hm... I don't see anything wrong with them... Do you have a script that has modified the Interpreter class? Post a list of all scripts that you are using.

All the default scripts.
Your Tons Of Add ons:
CENTRE BATTLER: ON
BARS: ON
ALL UTILITY EXCEPT HPSPPLUSS AND DEATH TOLL: ON
ALL STATUS AND SKILL ADD ONS OFF
ANIMATED TITLE AND EQ SKILLS OFF

LETTER BY LETTER (NO SDK)

ANIMATED SAVE FILES

And there is a cutscene before the title screen.

Sorry to double post but I think I might know. After changing the name, I added them to the part with "Initialize" ticked. Is that why?

EDIT: It is. I feel like a n00b, sorry to waste your time.

Lol, no problem. I am here to help.
