I've been following along with Elric's tutorial on event editing, and for the most part it's been going smoothly. There have been hiccups here and there, but that's part of learning. I figured them out and fixed my own problems. But this...this is just weird. I mean really weird.
I've been toying with dialogue, and for some strange reason whenever I have a name other than 'Ramza' typed, then program then wigs out and completely ruins my TEST file to the point where CDMage won't even import it. It will say something like "$xx is not a valid integer value", where xx is usually the first 2 characters in the name, though when I tried 'fffffq', xx was fq.

I've even tried typing 'Ramz', and it does that. I add that extra 'a', and suddenly presto, it's back to normal. I just can't figure it out. If I try closing the Event Editor and opening it back, it loses the ability to even change the event. I had to export TEST again and start from scratch. It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Can someone enlighten me on this?
Edit: Just got an answer to my question from Raven. Apparently {Ramza} is actually a command to call up whatever you named the main character. To do any other name I'd just remove the brackets. Thanks Raven!
