Add party member problem

[Blix]

Hello! A problem has popped up since trying to add third and fourth party member to my current party of two. Initially what happens is the new recruit's name instead of being (for example) "Vula" is simply "New Character" and has the default preset stats instead of the ones I made. With the fourth (and sometimes third character) when the event adds him to my party his sprite and name are completely different from what they should be (i.e. New Character) and looks like a Samurai instead of a wizard (I changed him from 1 to the other and system/scenario saved it) but it keeps happening when I retry during the test play, do I need to start all the way over at the beginning of the test play for this particular change to take effect?

upon a new game start the game saved certain things about your game. to keep playing you have to have the character named and sprited. you can get around the sprited part by using a change char event.

check out my system swapping experiments, what ive discovered for this also applies to save files. certain data is not changeable which makes certain spell learning outrageously difficult if you change something mid game.

Okay thanks. A similar problem occurred where the new recruit joins with all of the correct stats (name, and everything) but is invisible despite having a sprite and not having been changed mid game - each time I've tried changing it and restarting the test play he is still invisible in the group (walking around, menu sprite, etc.)

EDIT: Just read through your posts, so If I delete my save test and start a new test play AFTER coding everything then it should work?

I went through and deleted the test save along with the character in slot #5, and simply remade him in slot 6 - tried it out and it seems to work fine now.

the test save is the issue, not the character. if you axe the test save and make a new save from the very beginning then you should be fine.
