Hello,

I've been following the directions in FF.txt in this archive that describe what to change to enable characters to have 5-letter names. Everything works fine except that when you use a tent, potion, cure spell, or other such action that brings up the horizontally oriented menu allowing you to select a party member, their names each have an extra space, causing the text to overflow onto the next line.

Here is a screenshot to illustrate:


Does anyone know what I have to do to remedy this situation? Thanks.

More accurately, it's incrementing the same amount of times like it's still depending on the 4-letter names.

Probably not too easy if you don't know ASM, which is a pretty serious investment of time, but infinitely helpful in hacking. I would find where names are stored in memory, set a read breakpoint for this address, and enable the break-point just before the menu in question is brought up. You can step through and, with any luck, find yourself at the routine that writes the names to the screen.
