How to make NPC called character by the player's custom name?

[Dai 0]

Hey I'm new to rpg maker xp so I needed some help.A lot of help really.I know when you put the code '\n[1]' it'll call the character by the player's custom name that they made when the input name pops up but when I tried the code on a different map,it doesn't work instead it just called by the default character name.For example when I write 'Hi \n[1]',it says Hi Aluxes rather than the player's desired character name.But when the input name command event is on the SAME map as the event I write hi \n[1],it works.Anyone know how to solve this problem?Thanks in advance.

 

Oh yeah,another question - I downloaded the trial version so I only have 30 days.Anyone know how to get the full version?

 

P/S:If any of you is professional using rpg maker xp,and wants to help me,please mail me.

Post a demo link. This way we can go and see if you did something wrong.

Besides an illegal download not really. But seeing as how I am in a good mood if you can manage to get 40 posts (no spam; and posting in the Spam forum won't count) come the 15th of JAN 2010 I'll buy you a license.

I think I would have used a word other than professional.

To get the full version of RPG Maker XP, you fork over 60USD. You can purchase a license here: https://license.ntitles.net/purchase.asp?m=D2404C91A7044E4B85FACBE99DD5C50B&u=8415BA932B9B405398B140BC809DD502

 

Every illegal version of RMXP kills 13 puppies.

 

Hmm...I am reasonably sure that \n[1] will always display the name from the database, even when it is changed. By "player's custom name that they made when the input name pops up" do you mean the Input Name Processing command which looks a little like this?:

 

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps you didn't input your custom name before you tested the 2nd map. If it said 'Hi aluxes', then you must not have inputted the custom name. Try saving after giving the custom name, then test each much from that point.

I'm 15 and live in a country where 60USD costs a lot.How can I ever purchase it?

What do you mean by 'try saving after giving the custom name'?If I input the input name command again in the 2nd map doesnt it just made the player to type again their desired character name?

Simply put your whole project folder in a Zip file and upload to a free file host.

Yes. Doesn't matter who buys it as long as it was paid for.

Firstly input the custom name for your character.

Second, save the game.

Third, test the name in a message on the first map

Fourth, test the name in a message on the 2nd map.

Do this without ever closing the project.

 

Make sense?

Already did that but the custom name just wont show up on the second map.I uploaded the project file.Here's the link:

I hope you can find what I did wrong there..

 

EDIT : Can I ask a different question in another topic?

[Noob Saibot 38]

Your problem is in one of your events. The EVENT named "Dai" (on the map named HOME) you tell it to add player one again; this overides the name input. Remove it and the name will stay the same.

You're right,if I delete it,it works.Thanks.But may I ask why it is not needed?is that command only used for one time only in the whole game because all the event is related?

 

1 more - how many days usually it takes to make 1 simple rpg game for a beginner?Because even the intro took a lot of my time..

 

1 more thing - how can you change the game file to .exe file so anyone who does not have rgss player can play?

1 it all depends on how long you want it, what systems are going to be used. If your trying to make a good game even as a beginner i would say a good 2-6 months.

But by the time the trial is over you should have a good understanding on how everything works.

 

2.

1. you will need to go here and copy the RTP files your using in your game.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterbrain\RGSS\Standard

 

2. After that in rmxp go to Game -> Select RTP, and set it to none.

 

3. You will need the RGSS102E.dll file in your game root directory(Same place as Game.exe)

Should be located in C:\Windows\System32

OMG! It will take that long for me to complete the game?!With schools starts tomorrow,I think I can only finish the game after 1year if I somehow manage to get the full version!

What is RTP file?And I didnt install that in the default folder cause it almost full,so I installed it in Local Disk D instead,so I couldnt find that folder.Is this mean I wont be able to change it to executable file?

Never mind the post above.I managed to get it works.
