There are some problems with it.

There's no 'def' for the draw_name function
You do not create a new object in the Scene_Map
Forgot the '.new' at the end.

Well... Actually there are more stuff wrong...
I'll try to fix it.

You're right about the 'def', but I left the .new off for a reason.

Read the update method and you'll see why.

EDIT : Actually I'm kind of confused about how to go with the whole thing. I tried to make it so it can resize based on the Map Name, but that's where I get confused.
EDIT 2 : Figured it out, will update script.
EDIT 3 : *updated*

Just place it above main and you'll see what it does.

What would be the "turn on/off" script calls for it? Because there are certain maps where this shouldn't appear (cutscenes, intros, etc).
I tryied to insert one myself, but i suck SO MUCH on script :( I bet it is probably something simple...

Replace the script with the following -

            init_orig

      width = @size[0]
      height = @size[1]
      super(0, 0, width+32, height+32)
      self.contents = Bitmap.new(width, height)

      self.back_opacity = 240

      @frame_wait = Graphics.frame_count + 60
      refresh
   end

   def refresh
      self.contents.font.color = Color.new(217,87,0,255)
      self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, @size[0], @size[1], @map_name)

            self.contents_opacity -= 20
         else
            self.dispose
            return

      end
   end

end


Just use

$game_party.enable_location

and

$game_party.disable_location

It works theoreticly.

Thanks Tsunokiette, but it doesn't work. Openning scene freezes if i place the instruction...
Looks like it will be there on all sequences, for now...  :'(

Arrowone, this "failed to create bitmap" error come from lack of correct bitmap or RTS resource pack... i think. Did you try it on a brand new project, to see if it work?

It looks all nice and scripty.... but they're right, it doesn't work.

And... you spelled location wrong.

I know that, I'm too lazy to edit it lol.

@Ericmor - I don't know where that error would come from, all it does is check if a value is false and disposes of the window if it is, it works the same way when you change maps, except it's checking for true/false and not comparing map names.

EDIT : Perhaps this would work?

Now I'm just jumping at theories, but try this and make the map have no name, no spaces either.

Mmmm... nope, crash window changed, Tsunokiette. No difference if the map has a blank name, either.
The message is:
  " NoMethod error ocurred while running script"
  " undefined method 'disable location' for "
  " #<Game_Party:0x1c40a80> "

... is just me, or somebody else has got the same error? Maybe is a conflict with another script? Not unusual, i myself had to delete WorlMap script from Nearfantastica because of conflicts with the caterpillar system.
Well... anyway, good work, thanks.

That's because you didn't remove those commands from your events, they don't exist anymore in this version.

Oh, i got it! You forgot to tell that this version work without instructions... Ok.
So, scenarios where we don't want the names showing up... must just have a blank name. Cool.
In addition: even being blank, the windows still show up in corner for a brief moment... i changed the 'empty' window size in code to 1x1 instead of 32x32 , it is less noticeable this way (i did try 0x0, but script crashes).
Again, good work!  ;D

Just for fun and for touch ups, replace the initialize with this -

   def initialize
      @map_name = get_name
      if @map_name == ""
            @size = [32,32]
      else
            @size = Win_Size.new(@map_name)
      end
      width = @size[0]
      height = @size[1]
      super(0, 0, width+32, height+32)
      self.contents = Bitmap.new(width, height)
      if @map_name == ""
            self.visible = false
      else     
            self.opacity = 240
            self.back_opacity = 240
            self.contents_opacity = 240
      end
      @frame_wait = Graphics.frame_count + 60
      refresh

Hey, Tsuno? How do I make a floating MESSAGE window appear in the bottom/center of the screen? The window would need to be sort of transparent, and but text would still be solid.

Ericmor

#20
Hey, no blinking window in empty map names now! Good work, Tsunokiette!  ;D

Arrowone:
inside the script, on lines 24 approximately, there's a instructin called 'super':

...
super(0, 0, width+32, height+32)
...


plain simple: just swap the first two zeros by the coordinates where you want the screen
to appear. like:

...
super(width+32,height+208, width+32, height+32)
...

That would make the windows appear right on the middle of the screen.
For bottom screen:

...
super(width+32,height+400, width+32, height+32)
...

You can place decimal values like "320" or "240", but 'Width' and 'height' added or subtractcted by the values give precise screen coordinates that changes depending the size in letters of the maps name. Course, maybe Tsuno release a next version with script call to change the place of the windows, but...  :P

----EDIT: Ops... wrong values in the first post :P

@Ericmor: Good try, but you're not quite there. (Except the first)

Here's an 'enhanced' script while we wait for Tsuno to make a proper one. (Yes I am lazy)
You can change the alignment of the window rather easily here. Script:

   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # The position of the window
   # [x,y]
   #
   # x = 1 => left
   # x = 2 => center
   # x = 3 => right
   #
   # y = 1 => top
   # y = 2 => center
   # y = 3 => bottom
   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   POSITION = [2,3]
   def initialize
      @map_name = get_name
      if @map_name == ""
            @size = [32,32]
      else
            @size = Win_Size.new(@map_name)
      end
      width = @size[0]
      height = @size[1]
     
      case POSITION[0]
      when 1
        ox = 0
      when 2
        ox = 640-(width+32)
        ox = ox/2
      when 3
        ox = 640-(width+32)
      end

      when 1
        oy = 0
      when 2
        oy = 480-(height+32)
        oy = oy/2
      when 3
        oy = 480-(height+32)
      end
     
      super(ox, oy, width+32, height+32)

            self.visible = false

            self.contents_opacity = 240

Just change the values in 'POSITION = [2,3]'
Change the 2 and 3 to whatever value you feel like.

For the first value:
1 => left
2 => center
3 => right

For the second value
1 => top
2 => center
3 => bottom

So in this case the window will be placed in the center on the bottom of the screen.


I know this is rather sucky, but then again... I only used 10 minutes on this.

Nice work, Zeriab! I didn't noticed that those variables of mine didn't quite work until i changed maps this morning... Heh...  :-[
They only work on the FIRST map you try, that's why i didn't notice... when you change  to another scenario, the coordinates change. Your code fixes that.
I may be ahead of myself, but here are things that people may want to control with script calls:
- Transparency control of text/window (set to 0% to make it disappear!)
- Color control
- Size control
- Typewriter effect

He!he!... sorry, couldn't restrain myself ;D
I need some real WORKING AVI script in RMXP!
