Character Names and Dark World Theme? - Royaken - 03-26-2014
So I have 2 questions here and I feel like the 1st one is not gonna be doable xD
1st, can I increase the amount of characters a character can have in their name? Maybe as a default I can but not when changing the name, correct?
2nd, I thought I saw this some where, but can't seem to find it now xD. I might be blind. I want to keep the Dark World theme when not on the Airship and only have Searching for Friends when I get on the Airship. How would I go about that???

The Pandora's Box team has done it. They increased the max length of a character name by one letter. This require you to be comfortable with ASM coding and I presume you need to rearrange some of the SRAM as well as the naming screen.

You can assign a song to a map in FF6LE (or Zone Doctor). Just change the song index in the Falcon map. It's a setting on the left menu of the map.

Thanx for the quick response as always Madsiur xD. Assigning a song to the map seems simple enough. Idk why I didn't think about that xD (Veldt -cough cough-). I'll see what I can see in Pandora's box and post here if I have any questions. Thanx!

Concerning the character name length, I would suggest you tackle this project when you know how to code with ease.

Expanding things beyond what the original game was planned to handle is usually complicated, even if it seems simple (like this). It's rarely a case of "Change variable X from a 6 to a 10 and you have 10 letter long names," because menus, text boxes, the code itself, etc. are made to accommodate 6 letter names.

Makes perfect Sense. I remember there was a hassle trying to change GP to Gold and there was a lot I had to do with that including changing X and Y locations xD
