Window_MapName+
An edit by prepe

Introduction
This is the first but hopfully not the last thing I give to you guys. I'm no scripter but am trying to learn it so here you go.

What I did is edit the map name script to show a custiom background pic behind the name and moved it to the right
of the screen. I know its not much and super easy but I felt someone could use it.

Screenshots


The Script
Place this ether in the materials section or overright Window_MapName
with this one. If using the map name fix By Crazyninjaguy place this above it.

# **WHAT IT DOES**

# background of the map name so I edited Window_MapName.
# This adds a background image to the map name and moves it to the right of the
# screen.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# **WHERE THINGS GO**
# place this scrip ether in the materials section or overright Window_MapName
# with this one. If using the map name fix By Crazyninjaguy place this above it.
#
# Must have "Map_Name_Back.png" in Graphics/System folder
#
# thats it run your game.
#

# **HOW TO EDIT**
# To change the locaton of the name change the values of lines,
#

# 123
#
# to change the name of the png file find line,
#
# 120
#
# and edit as you need.

# **THE END**
# Thats all there is. I hope That helps.

Resources
Credits Goes to Hanzo Kimura. Its his graphic form the Valkyrie Stories open source that he gave out.
I just edited it a little.

Goes in your Graphics/System folder. Name it "Map_Name_Back" without the quotes.
Image shack changed the name on me.

Compatibility
As its a small edit to a default script it should have no issues. If it does post here I shall try and fix it.

Credit and Thanks
- Hanzo Kimura
- Enterbrain

- Sixth
- Everyone who has helped me learn to script over the years.

Author's Notes
The instructions on how to edit and change it are in the script.
I encourage you to make your own graphic for this.
I also will not be making a demo as thats how I learned.
I hade to put them in and set them up, no copy past sorry guys.

I hope you like it.
Credits are welcome but not mandatory. Just ask before you repost this on another forum, thanks

All fixed

All right, I MIGHT have made a mistake but I followed the instructions directly;

 

Script 'Map Name Plus' line 83: RGSSError occurred.

disposed sprite

The coding of that line, according to my script:

@map_name_back.opacity -= 16

It happens whenever I change between maps, apparently.

 

EDIT: Oh, you already noticed. Awesome.

Yeah I did and its good to go now.

 

If anyone has used this replace the code with the new one. Its all fixed and ready to go.

let me know if there are more errors.

 

Also Im planing on making more for it like it sliding in from the side, or top, or something.

I dunno yet though well see If i have it in me to do that. That will be another day though.

I'm slightly more interested in the open source of Valkyrie Stories as the link was taken down before I got my hands on it. :'(

[Rhayvie1978 1]

This is great! I really need his to my project. Thank you for this!

 

I want to make a request, only if possible. Can make a font for map title w/c is different from the default system font?

 

I only want to display the map title with different font style from default font.

 

Thanks you!

 

 

Bug report:

When you encounter enemy while the map title is not yet fading out, the map title will still show up in battle scene and never fade out.

In your map properties there are two places to type a name. One is the name and the other is what displays as the map name. I'm sure its blank and thats why. Also the first map you start on does not show the name. You need to go to a new map for it to work.Its a vxa bug but there is a fix for it on the forums here. I'm not sure where its at though.

Issue has been fixed.

Imma use this. It's easy-to-use which is good.

Could anybody make it so this automatically disposes itself when battle begins?

[Sixth 113]

Add this above the last 'end' line (so, inside the class):

  def dispose
    @map_name_back.bitmap.dispose
    @map_name_back.dispose
    super
  end

This should get rid of the background automatically.

[+ Galdelonian 13]

Thank you. <3

[prepe 7]

Wow i totally forgot i started this script so long ago. I forgot all about it. Thanks for the fix  @Sixth.

 

-EDIT-

I updated the script in the first post to include the fix by @Sixth.

Just replace the old one with the new one.
