Again HOpe ya LIke it alll!

Reason for edit: Fixing the codebox(puppeto4)

no indention
what a mess

so much unnecessary variables

and it's kinda ugly and stupid to have such a big window for such short name
plus it stays at top

can't you make it a dynamic one??

[GREYHOUND]

I'll ask the creator of the script later...

[PhantomH]

You forgot to mention that this script also features the ability to display actor names if you used actor ID's in map names (For games that lets you rename characters). That idea from this script was actually inspired by me (In the original topic on RMXP, Dargor mentions that Hero gave him the idea of using actor IDs in map names since I requested a script that allows actor names to be shown in maps without using the default name) but I was pretty surprised that my request actually went through.

[GREYHOUND]

What does that mean?

[PhantomH]

It means that when you put \n[1] in the map name, then when the map name window comes out inside the game, it'll show the first character's name along with the map name.

Ex: \n[1] House would say "Ralph's House".

[snstar2006]

i have never thought of that, but it is a prettey easy function, all you have to do is replace \n[1] with the actor's name

but i would like to have is the window's width to be dynamic

just get the length of the string to be shown in the window then change the length of the window width to that length+32

BTW, can I post this script in another forum (also make some changes in it)?

[PhantomH]

The actor name ID was there for people who allows their characters to be renamed. For example, both the male and female main character in my game project don't have a default name (For the purpose that the player will feel more like the character they're controlling since I'm trying to make the game as interactive as possible) so you must pick a name for them. And then you get to name your property, which I use the name of that property the map.

As for editting the script, you need to contact Dargor (The one who made the script) first. He hangs around on rmxp.org so look for him in the forums there.

This works great, but I'm trying to get it so only the outside in the town has the map popup. So In an town, none of the houses, or shops would say anything, just the town name when you enter it or leave a building back into it. Can anyone help me with this?

[YanXie]

Put the map ID that you don't want to have the pop up show in this :

CODE

Exclude_Maps = []

Example, you don't want the map name pop up in map 20 and 34 :

CODE

Exclude_Maps = [20, 34]

cheers, puppeto4.

[Tris]

This dont even work for me?

[Phili]

Looks like the guy who post this don't know about the scripts he post... maybe we should talk to the one who built up the script

[ddescallar]

for anyone who is having trouble with:

1. WINDOW SIZE
2. WINDOW POSITION
3.TEXT POSITION

[Show/Hide] Refer to this script to edit the window size and position

def initialize(name="", count=128)
super(0, 0, 300, 64)
self.visible = false
self.openness = 0
@name = name
@count = count
end

[Show/Hide] and to this script for the text position

def refresh
#return unless $game_map.display_name
self.visible = true
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(0,0,300,WLH,@name,1)
$game_map.show_name = false
end

don't bother reading this if you already know how

[bleachx]

good...i use it!!

[JoRu]

I can change the X-position of the window but not Y. I've tried several things but I still can't do that. Does someone know why?

[Aleema]

I can change the X-position of the window but not Y. I've tried several things but I still can't do that. Does someone know why?

Works for me. Edit the second variable of "super(x, y, width, height)" under 'Object Initialization'.

To the scripter -- thanks for the script! It works beautifully and was just what I needed. MOG's map name displayer is pretty, but doesn't overlap everything like a message box does.
Thanks!

This sux it didn't even work find a new job

...what?
Please don't post in threads this old, unless you have real questions for the script creator.
