[XP] I need help with a map name script

[Tosharu 1]

This is the Map_Count class I created. It checks to see up to which map# exists so that I don't get a file can not load error later on.

It also tells my other script using variable[01] how many maps are in the game.

class Map_Count


def initialize

for i in 1..999
@map_id=i
if @map_id <10
 @map_id="00#{i}"
end
 @exist=FileTest.exist?("Data/Map#{@map_id}.rxdata") 
if @exist
 $game_variables[1]=i
end

end

end

end

 

 

This is my class for retrieving the name of the map and storing it into an actor name.

 

class Getmapnames

attr_accessor :map_id
attr_accessor :map_name
attr_accessor :map_number


 def initialize(map_number)
   @map_id=map_number
   @map = load_data(sprintf("Data/Map%03d.rxdata", @map_id))
   map_name=@map.data.name
   @map_name=map_name
   return @map_name
 end

end

 

 

And this is my common event which is triggered when the switch "Init" is turned on.

 

Now the problem I'm having is that it seems like you can only use $game_map.name as a call to the map the player is currently on.

Even if I try to load a DIFFERENT map file... and get the name for it, it doesn't work.

 

What I want to do is get the name of a map file before a player transfer event.

So here's my question.

 

How do I load a map, and get it's name, put the name in a variable and then close the map file, without changing the map the player is currently on??

The only thing I can think of is to do a sequenced transfer player, and store the map name of the current map into an array index with the same value as the loop number. :/

But that means I'd have to do that for EVERY map in the game and that would make the entire game slow at startup.

I think that script will not work.This one will do.

 

Instruction:

Insert this script above the Main.

There is only two easy thing u will need to edit. And that is...

 

1# See this one on the script? See on the spoiler below. Change the "Chip Location" To your specific window that will be straight and long and thin one, or that will fit your map name. If you don't have it, just click on this url and right click on the picture and save it. http://yfrog.com/5echiplocationp

 

Now, you have it. Don't forget to import this on the windowskins. And 1 more thing, if you rename the picture you just downloaded now, don't forget to type the name exactly like the same in the "Chip_Location". :)

 

 

 

# pictur loction must be on ( Windowskin )
   BackGroundImage = "Chip_Location"

 

 

If u don't get it, see this on the spoiler below.

 

 

If your picture name is something like "chaos".

# pictur loction must be on ( Windowskin )
   BackGroundImage = "chaos"

 

 

Ok, good to go?

2# if you want to change the invisblility of the window change the opacity of the window to 255.Like this

 

# Opacity of the Hud

Opacity = 255

 

Got it? Ok here's the script.

Hope, ya all like it :)

 

And don't forget to tell me how to make the map name unpopping if you know :)

For someone who can not wait this unpopping map name, just erase the map name. :)

here's a really great script that has what you need, and some extra stuff.

If you want the number of maps you can use this snippet:

infos = load_data('data/mapinfos.rxdata')
$game_variables[1] = infos.size
