Locations system
Version:2
By: gerkrt/gerrtunk
Introduction
This script adds a entry in the main menu(removing steps window)that shows
your actual place. The interesting thing about it is that it lets configure
about anything with flexibility and new features.
Creating locations:
-Using the map tree system. You only have to write the name of the parent map
and all the others under it take his description
-By map name
-By maps groups that share a description
Sublocations:
-By map name
-By maps groups that share a sublocation description
Sublocations allow you to add a specification of the actual area,
so: location "Aoha forest" sublocation "Old tree", for example.
Also you can combine any of these system or options without a problem.

------INTRODUCTION------
This script adds a entry in the main menu(removing steps window)that shows
your actual place. The interesting thing about it is that it lets configure
about anything with flexibility and new features.
Creating locations:
-Using the map tree system. You only have to write the name of the parent map
and all the others under it take his description
-By map name
-By maps groups that share a description
Sublocations:
-By map name
-By maps groups that share a sublocation description
Sublocations allow you to add a specification of the actual area,
so: location "Aoha forest" sublocation "Old tree", for example.
Also you can combine any of these system or options without a problem.
-------CONFIGURING LOCATIONS---------
Location_type : This variable sets the type of locations:
Location_type = :map_list -> use map list
Location_type = :map_name -> use map name
Location_type = :map_tree -> use map tree
-By map name: It will just write the actual map name.
-By map list: Using this you create a group of maps that share a location
description.
Locations_map_id = [
[[1,2,3], 'Ahoha forest'], # Maps 1,2,3 share Ahoha forest description
[[4,5,6], 'Sphynx']
]
Just add lines like this: [[map_id1, map_id2], 'Description'],
-By map tree: With this you only have to define a parent map and write its name in
the descriptions. All the maps will have the description, including the parent map.
The map tree is show under the tileset tool. If you doubleclick to - or + you will
see that the maps are shown in groups that depend in parent maps.
Note: I recomend having the maps having the maps ordered and directly relationed with
its parent map to have optimal performance.
Use example:
Mapamundi - Parent of all
Forest - Parent of maps 3-7
Mapa3
Mapa4
Mapa5 - Parent of 6,7
Mapa6
Mapa7
Pantano del Wep
Mapa9
Configuration it:
Locations_map_tree = {
'Forest' => 'Ahoha forest',
'Prologue' => 'Sphynx' # All the maps under the map called Prologue have
# sphynx description
}
To add new locations add these lines:
'Basename map name' => 'Description',
-------CONFIGURING SUBLOCATIONS---------
Show_sublocations : These configurates sublocations
Show_sublocations = :inactive ---> makes them inactive
Show_sublocations = :map_name ---> use map name
Show_sublocations = :codes ---> makes them use map codes
inactive: if they are inactive you are going to see in the first line the
sublocations word
map name: this wall it will simply write the actual map name as a sublocation
description
codes: this works like the locations map list, but for sublocations:
Sublocations_codes = [
[[1,2], 'Santuary'],
[[4,5,6], 'Old tree']
]
Just add lines like this: [[map_id1, map_id2], 'Description'],
------OTHER THINGS------------
Unknown_location_text: This is for maps that dont have a description.
Sublocations_text : Here you can write a prefix for all sublocations
Locations_text : Here you write the describing word of the locations
=end
module Wep
Unknown_location_text = '?????'
Location_type = :map_list
Show_sublocations = :inactive # :inactive, :map_name, :codes
Sublocations_text = ''
Locations_text = 'Location'
Locations_map_id = [
[[1,2,3], 'Ahoha forest'],
[[4,5,6], 'Sphynx']
]
Sublocations_codes = [
[[1,2], 'Santuary'],
[[4,5,6], 'Old tree']
]
Locations_map_tree = {
'Forest' => 'Ahoha forest',
'Prologue' => 'Sphynx'
}
