What's Amy's name?

[yfyfyfyfyfy]

No, this is not a joke. I'm really asking what is Amy's name? There are two options: Amy and Amy Rose.

Let's take a closer look.

If you put the value of the variable ForceCharacter = Amy

You cannot select a level in record attack. More precisely, you can, but only for another character (which you can choose, although you shouldn't). There will also be an error in the console (screenshot 1).

But if you go into the usual game on the level, then everything will be fine (screenshot 2).

If you put the value of the variable ForceCharacter = Amy Rose

The record attack will be fine. You can only play as Amy Rose (screenshot 3).

But if you go into a usual game on the level, you will be given an error that the "skin amy rose not found." (screenshot 4).

It’s actually Amelia “Amy” Rose, so this game is wrong, your life is wrong and so is mine.




This is a joke btw, I don’t actually know what the game uses for Amy, although her full name is indeed Amelia “Amy” Rose

Wasn't her original name Rosy the Rascal?

Where are you putting the ForceCharacter string in first place?

Amy's internal name is "amy".
All skins are lowercase and case sensitive [[citation needed]], and spaces are to be replaced with underscores.

and if "amy" doesn't work, have you tied "rosy" or "amyrose" or "amy_rose"?

 

[amperbee]

and if "amy" doesn't work, have yout tied "rosy" or "amyrose" or "amy_rose"?

But... Glaber, there is only one internal name for amy, and it is amy.
(realname is only used for intermission screens, multiplayer select screens and such, and not as the internal name for a character.)

Not sure, but it looks like the cause of this bug is that skins_cons_t, used by cv_chooseskin, is populated with realname (see M_PatchSkinNameTable in m_menu.c) while everything else is just using name.
