While the default map name window is decent, it does not have many customization options and it uses the same appearance for every map. Some developers might want different appearances for each map, or they might just want to customize the window that appears in all maps - this plugin allows both with both a "default" group of parameters which will be used if no preset is in use.

Here are some of the customization features offered:

  • You can set an x,y offset
  • You can horizontally move it to the right/center/left and vertically move it to the top/middle/bottom.
  • You can choose from 2 new gradient styles (start at left and fade right or start at right and fade left), or you can choose no gradient behind the text at all and instead show the windowskin.
  • The window can also support more than 1 line of text now, and supports text codes such as \c[x] and \i[x].
  • You can change the window's windowskin, padding, background opacity, and tone

This plugin also comes with some plugin commands to control the Map Name Window. These are:

  • Open Window - Reopens the map name window
  • Fade Out Window - Starts the fade out process for the map name window. Will not have any effect if the map name window is not currently displaying.
  • Close Window - Immediately closes the map name window
  • Set Window - Set the map name window to use a different preset and display a new name
  • Clear Custom Data - Clears any custom map name/preset set via the Set Window command

Lastly, this plugin does allow you to permanently display the Map Name Window, so you can use the above plugin commands to get it to stop displaying if you would like manual control over when it displays / stops displaying.

Heyyy

This is a cool plugin, but can I force a new line of text?

Also, can I temporarily disable the map name display? Thanks in advance.

Hi, an upcoming update will allow you to force a new line of text.

You can close the map name window, but it does not allow you to disable it.

Actualy, I noticed that the map name can be disabled using default RMMZ commands. Thank you for the upcoming update tho! :D

Hello Casper. I like that this plugin lets me keep the map display name active at all times. However, if I open the main menu and exit, the Map Display Name vanishes. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi, you can use the Open Window plugin command when it  is no longer displaying to get it to appear again.

Hi I just purchase this plugin and keep getting this error "Cannot read property '_windowskin' of undefined" is there something I'm supposed to do?

Hi, can you press F8 and switch to the console tab in the window that opens up to show me the full error trace?

It sounds like you have typed in a preset into one of your note tags that does not exist. Could you double check that your preset in your notetag matches exactly the id you set in the plugin parameters?

Hi, in the game, can you press F8 and then switch to the Console tab in the window that opens up? It should look like this:


But for you it will have a red error message with the full trace of the error. I need to see this to help you with the issue.

oh ok

I got it to work! I just need to see if there's a way to make the image not pop up when there's no title for the map

like this

I don't think have any presets set.

Hi there, I just want to double check before I purchase:

Can I use this to disable the map name appearing on certain transfers, but not all? i.e. - If I transfer to a different spot on the same map, I'd prefer the name not pop back up.

Hi, this plugin currently does not do that, it mostly changes how the map name window looks, not really how it functions.

I can try to add this in for a future update, thanks for the suggestion.

The display map name shows for all maps, i don't want it to appear on my intro map, how do i make it invisible to certain maps?

Hi, right click your intro map, select edit to edit the map properties and remove the text from the display name box.

Yeah, however i want the border to show when map changed however, when the intro shows, it shows a blank border, so wouldnt matter if the text is there or not since the window will still show

I am not sure I am understanding you correctly. Could you reproduce the issue in a blank project using only CGMZ plugins and send that to me via discord DM (casprizzle#9880) so I can take a look at what is going wrong?

Create a preset with default settings,  assign it's ID and use <cgmzmapnamepreset: Your ID Here> on the Map notetags, and you should be able to enter the map without the window showing up.
