You need to put "MMEV" (without quotes) in a comment inside the event.

I tried that it doesn't seem to be working.

[Kread-EX]

Yes, because you also need a type, such as MMEV npc, MMEV treasure... Or you can define your own types. Have you read the script instructions?

Something that the instructions don't mention though: your even must have a graphic. Not a tile graphic but a character graphic.

Aah...that was my issue. Do you know how to correct that at all.

[edit] Actually I suppose i can just turn a tile graphic into a character one.
thanks for your help and quick reply.

I was able to edit it to make water tiles appear a different color.
Also forest tiles get their own color.
Here's the edited script if anyone wants it.

The only issue I have with it
is when I make changes to any map in the game and load a game save and
go to that area the game will crash and it says the error is on line
136, the game works fine when I start a new game but it's like the
script can't pickup any map changes on a game load. I'm no coder but
wouldn't it be possible to add somewhere that when a game is loaded to
recheck the data/mapinfos.rvdata ?

CODE

class Game_Map
   alias wora_minimap_gammap_setup setup
   def setup(map_id)
     wora_minimap_gammap_setup(map_id)
     @db_info = load_data('Data/MapInfos.rvdata') if @db_info.nil?
     @map_info = @db_info[map_id]
   end

   def show_minimap?
     return @map_info.show_minimap?
   end
end

I'm not sure if you could help me but It would be awesome if you could.

[Ndoelicious]

Is there a way to make the main character dots invisible on the map?

[Geekman]

Lovely script. Thanks.

[Jens of Zanicuud]

@Geekman
You should not post brief sentences like that without any further comment, since they are irrelevant to the topic itself.
In this case, the topic was more than three months old, and this is called Necroposting.
You should post in old topics just to ask for support or give support to someone who asked for it.

I copied and pasted this script into the right place and it says this when I start my game:

What does that mean?
