How to customize the naming screen

[brunobay.g]

Hi there,

I am pretty unused with rpg maker programming, but I've recently acquired the rpg maker mv and I would like to know if it is possible to modify the naming screen, in order to add some new features like a "default name" option, for instance.
I've searched for some tutorials around the web but I could only find ways of customizing the title screen. Is there really a way to do this?

Sorry if this post isn't in the appropriate location, but I could not find any "rules" topic.

Thanks in advance!

Tutorials is for presenting tutorials you wrote for others. Depending on what exactly you're talking about your question either goes into the support forum (if it can be done with events and database) or into plugin request (if it needs a plugin).


If you're talking about the database names, no the editor can't be changed to include default names.


If you're talking about actor creation by the player, there are event commands to let the player customize the actors - mostly by events, only some very tricky parts require plugins.


I've moved this thread to MV Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


It may have to be moved again after you give a better description of what you want...

Ok, now I see why this thread wasn't in the right location. Thank you very much.

About my request, I was trying to accomplish something like this:

http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/8/8f/EB_Name_Ness_Screen.png

which is the naming screen from the game earthbound. As you can see in the image, there is the "don't care" option, which simply generates "random" names when chosen, which is exactly what I am trying to implement.

Does any of the solutions you provided cover this?

yes and no - that screen is basically the Name Input Processing command in the event commands (third page top left).


Name Input Processing does have a default (the old name) but it has no randomizer.


Theoretically you can create a randomizer on your own by eventing, but that would not be inside the name input screen, oit would have to be called before or after it.


So to recreate exactly that option you would have to ask for a plugin that modifies or replaces Name Input Processing.


Please check if you can live with that command or report this topic to be moved to plugin requests if not.

OP wants a plugin to replace the name input Processing command with the additions described above
