Total Posts: 6 | I recently made some mario levels that I would like to post here. I was trying to copy them from my calculator to my computor, but it keeps saying "The name for the current variable is missing." I renamed it and it has the .8xp and everything! I don't know what to do.
P.S. I am using the "Explore TI Device" program in TI connect. |

Edit | Hmm... I've never found a way to get rid of that... did you try renaming it to something short, no spaces, no lowercase? |

Total Posts: 6 | How do I rename it? If you mean by clicking rename when it says this, then yes, I've tried everything. But how do I rename the actual file on the calc? |

Edit | I don't think you can do that...
I think I had actually lost some levels from that... |

Total Posts: 24 | To rename the file on the calc:
1. Right click on the file you want to rename and click "properties"
2. Click on the tab that says "TI File Properties"
3. Then you can change the variable name. No spaces, and all caps
This should work. If not, you should probably reinstall TI-Connect or get another linking program. |

Total Posts: 170 | If you wanted to rename the file on your calc and you don't have access to a computer, you can make a new program and give it the name you want to rename the old one with. Then use Rcl prgm<name> and it'll copy the entire file into the new empty one. Then just delete the old one. More time consuming, but neccessary if you need to do it and can't get to a computer. |

Total Posts: 939 | Actually, they aren't. They're binary files, but the same holds true. *revises previous statement*
Except that doesn't work on ASM programs, binary data programs ("external levels"), or AppVars. |

Total Posts: 2007 | In all technicalities, the calculator views them as an asm prog, but true, it is merely binary data generated by the level editor. |

Total Posts: 6 | Nope. Mac sucks. I re-installed TI Calc, I've renamed it everything in the book, I've done all I know to do. I'm just going to forget it.
