Changing the Step Box into a Location Box

[VirusChris]

I want to know how to change the code in the RGSS so instead of the box displaying how many steps you've taken, I want it to display the current map you're on when you open up the menu. Can someone tell me what to do please?

Just tried it, didn't work for me. Thank you anyway, are there any other methods of replace the Steps Window with a Location Window instead?

 

[tibuda]

How it didn't worked? Do you have the SDK and the Map Infos script in your game?

yes...maybe its because you don't have SDK...
i did this: im not expert scripter, but this should do (only if you have the default menu)

#==============================================================================
# ** Window_Location
#---
class Game_Map
def name
load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")[@map_id].name
end
end

class Window_Location < Window_Base
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Object Initialization
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize
super(0, 0, 160, 95)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
refresh
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Refresh
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def refresh
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = system_color
self.contents.font.bold = true
self.contents.font.size = 20
self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, 120, 32, "Location")
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(4, 20, 400, 40, $game_map.name.to_s)
end
end

umm...try that...hope it works =)

just replace your Window_Step with the script above and in Scene_Menu replace

@steps_window = Window_Steps.new

with

@steps_window = Window_Location.new

 

[tibuda]

just replace your Window_Step with the script above.

No, he has to replace Window_Step for Window_Location in Scene_Menu too...

 

[Fallen]

yeah right...sry missed that Y_Y
im so dumb

ill edit right away

I did add in the SDK, BUT I didn't replace Window_Step in the Scene_Menu.


It's OK, I decided to go with the Float Location script that displays the name of the map when you enter it. Thanks you helping me anyway =)
