Player-Named Maps
Version: 1.0
Author: modern algebra
Date: December 8, 2009
Version History
- <Version 1.0> 12.08.2009 - Original Release
Description
This was a bizarre request and very close to useless, but basically this script allows you to call a scene that lets the player change the name of the maps. It only really makes sense if you have another script that actually shows the names of the maps in-game. It might be useful for a stronghold or something.
Features
- Allows the player to name maps, so it might be good for a stronghold or something of that sort
- Uses a dummy actor, which means you would be able to import 96x96 pictures of landscapes and import them as facesets and use them to represent the map in the naming screen
- Exact same setup as the regular Input Hero Name scene
Screenshots
It looks the exact same as the Input Hero Name screen, and probably would even if you had a custom Input Name script.
Instructions
Place this script in your editor, above Main and below the default scripts
To call the map naming scene, use this code in a call script:
call_map_name (map_id, max_chars)
map_id : the ID of the map you want the player to name
max_chars : the maximum number of characters for the name. This
defaults to 10 if not set by you.
See the header for further instructions.

# Description:
# This script allows you to call a scene that lets the player change the

# Instructions:
# Place this script in your editor, above Main and below the default scripts
#
# To call the map naming scene, use this code in a call script:
# call_map_name (map_id, max_chars)
# map_id : the ID of the map you want the player to name
# max_chars : the maximum number of characters for the name. This
# defaults to 10 if not set by you.
#
# This script requires you to have a dummy actor who never appears in the
# game and ought not be setup - it is his face graphic that will show up in
# the map naming screen, so if you wanted to have the map represented by a
# 96x96 graphic you could import it as a face graphic and set it on the dummy
# actor immediately prior to calling the map naming screen. Otherwise leave
# it blank. To set the ID for that actor, go to line 45 and change the number
# to the ID of that dummy actor. You may also determine whether you want the
# database name of the map to initially show up while setting the name or
# whether you just want it to be blank at line 48
