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].

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

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.

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.
