Floating Location Window

[Tsunokiette]

Do you want a window to pop up everytime you enter a new map area? Just insert this above main.

Yes I realize the code itself isn't that pretty, but I'll clean it up later, it was a quick job.

BTW: credit to dubealex for the location name itself.

Great script! but is there a way to make it so you can walk while it says the location?

[Neko]

No answer? Seems kinda mean =\ (   Sorry for double post =[  )

Well you happened to pick the 3 hours I was at karate -_- lol.

I'm working on that atm lol.

EDIT: well, I can, but as soon as you move anywhere, you go straight in that direction until the window goes away no matter what you press; which shouldn't be happening, so...

[Neko]

Erm.. ummm.. can you not make it like a regular message window really? like have it auto bring up a message window?

if you want that you don't need a script..
put a message button on each teleporter

something like:

teleport(new map)
-message: Welcome to place X

and then you can have all sorts of useless stuff in the message ~_~

tsu , nice script, though being stuck until it goes away is sort of not the way i like it ~_~

[Neko]

ok, but is there a way to make it kinda transparent and on the bottom corse like that?

message display options button.
just don't show window and bottom

using slipknot's script or rm2k3 or rm2k you can even make the window go away after a certain period of time

[Tsunokiette]

To reduce the ammount of time the window shows, just find this line -

@wait_count = 70

And make the number lower.

[blueXx]

yar.. but any lower than that will make the map name hard to read
i actually want it a little bit longer but allowing the game to keep going with it could be really nice... >>

Got it... done... works...

(I kept forgetting to update the input, so here it is, and it also fades out now. I just forget to update the graphics sometimes.)

Here ya go.

YOU ARE A GOD! lol This is perfect thank you

[blueXx]

well done tsu

[dwarra]

Nice scripts  

This could be very useful.

Does it work?

[Neko]

It works great!!!I think I'm going to shorten the time that the window is up though.. its up for like 5 seconds or somthing but nobugs from what Ive seen so far =]

*cough* there's only one, but it wont happen unless you go to a different map before the window goes away.

(it simply layers)

[Neko]

Can you like put a line or two that erases it when changed???

[Blizzard]

I found another bug. If you enter a map, the BGM of the new map won
