Introduction

This script turns the map's encounter steps as a fixed number.
It features a simple HUD to let you know when you are about to trigger a random encounter on the current map.
The HUD will disappear if you leave any of the monster areas.
You have set no areas on that map?
Well, that means you won't be fighting any given monster.
