Screenshots
i forgot them  :whoa:

Requirements
Standard Development Kit (SDK), tested with the version 1.4.

How use?
Paste the code in a new section above Main (in the script editor).
You can change some settings in the module called "Show_Map_Name".
To show it in certain map, only add in the Call Script command (before your Teleport command) this:

$game_temp.show_mapname = true

That's nice and all but the SDK is a piece of crap that ruins half of the best scripts.  There are more non-SDK good scripts than SDK good scripts.

It's be nice if you can make a non-SDK version (like your message system that has SDK and non-SDK versions)

... (noobs) You take out the SDK parts yourself... making this...

FTW.

Lol, I have something similar implemented in my CMS and my save/load screen. Te CMS shows, where you

I still pwnd deathtrooper.

The fact that I don't touch SDK scripts and didn't know it was possible to simply edit a few lines to suddenly not be SDK scripts because I never touch them doesn't mean you pwned me.  Within my first 3 days of using RPG Maker XP (I hadn't used any others either =/) I had done a succesful edit to the default systems to allow 5 party members to fit.

I nearly learned scripting Ruby in 3 days, while implementing and editing other

Hmmm....Neko, I put in that code you put (non-sdk) and when I try to test my game it comes up with this error:

? 'Show_Mapname' ? 29 NameError ?

undefined method 'setup_map_id' for class 'Game_Map'

P.S.   I'm an rgss noob

Me too =] Thats just what I do to all scripts that I use lol. I dont know nor do I wish to learn RGSS at any time.

Can anyone give me a hint of why the script won't work for me? (see above error--also, I used the modified script that neko posted since it is non-sdk) Also, since I'm total noob, what do I have to use for the call script?

Paste the code in a new section above Main (in the script editor). You can change some settings in the module called "Show_Map_Name". To show it in certain map, only add in the Call Script command (before your Teleport command) this:

Code: [Select]

$game_temp.show_mapname = true

Also Neko's version might only work for Postality Knights if it even works at all.

Hmmm....ya that is what I tried the first time Deathtrooper, but for some reason it didn't work. Thanks anyway though.  

As the Requiremets says in the 1 post, this script needs SDK, without can't be used.

The fact that I don't touch SDK scripts and didn't know it was possible to simply edit a few lines to suddenly not be SDK scripts because I never touch them doesn't mean you pwned me.  Within my first 3 days of using RPG Maker XP (I hadn't used any others either =/) I had done a succesful edit to the default systems to allow 5 party members to fit.

And that was hard why?
