Archived First Post

Map Name Display Plus v 1.0

by Majirefy

Introduction

This script will dislpay your map name in a modified way when switching between maps in Ace.

Features

- Easy to custom style

- Good for muti-language or add descriptions for map

- Make your game more "PRO"(at least I believe that... )

How to Use

Paste above main
Turn to Scence_Map section, on Line 161, change @map_name_window = Window_MapName.new to @map_name_window = Window_MapNamePlus.new
In Map Properties window, set Display Name in format like: name1@name2. nam1 will be set above the split line and in bigger font size, while name2 will be below the split line and in smaller font size
Run your game and see the change.

Script

Code:

# encoding: utf-8
#==============================================================================
# ** Window_MapNamePlus
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This window displays the map name.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#	This class replaces the default Window_MapName class, adding more
#   modification and custom.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Author: Majirefy
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Guide:
#	To use this script, create a new section below Materials in Script Editor
#   and paste the script there. Then turn to Scene_Map section, find string
#   "Window_MapName.new", replace it by "Winodw_MapNamePlus.new".
#	Map name should be set in pattern like "拉普兰德@Lapland", using symbol "@"
#   to split Chinese character and English text. You can also use "@" to split
#   everything in map name.
