KMapSign RG

by Kyonides

Introduction

This is just another customizable map sign script to let you pick the best way to display the current map's name and even use a customized name you set during your gameplay!  

Don't forget to follow the instructions I provided with my script.

Script

Code:

# * KMapSign RG
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   v1.0.0 - 2020-07-24

# This is just another Show Your Current Map's Name script.
# I do think this version of my script is highly customizable.
# You may need to change the values of the Constants found in the KMapSign
# module at any given time before playtesting your game.
# The sign might disappear immediately or after n seconds.

#* For Game Devs that prefer Custom Map Signs designed in Photoshop or GIMP *#
  # Better make Map Signs with a width and a height that are multiples of 4.
  # That is what knowledgeable scripters and programmers usually recommend.

# * Script Calls * #

# Exclude Maps that do not need any sign - IN GAME Method
#   $game_system.exclude_maps!(MapID1, etc.)

# Get a Custom Map Name! - If Any...
#   $game_system.map_name(MapID)

# Change a Map Name! - For Current Game Session or Loaded Saved Game Data
#   $game_system.change_map_name(MapID, 'New Map Name')

# Delete a Custom Map Name!
#   $game_system.delete_map_name(MapID)

# KMapSign.align = 0 or 1 or 2
# KMapSign.pos_x = :left or :right or :center
# KMapSign.pos_y = :upper or :lower or :center

# Pick the map sign's direction of its simple animation!
# Options: :left, :right, :up or :down depending on its position
#   KMapSign.direction = YourFavoriteDir

# Choose a predefined backdrop for your sign!
#   KMapSign.backdrop = name ## Name should be a 'string' or :symbol

# Should this script render the map's name for you?
#   KMapSign.render_text = true ## Or false

# Should this script show the sign after you leave any menu?
#   KMapSign.show_after_menu_exit = true ## Or false
