Sort, Map Name, Options, and Text Script

[magusbrother]

I need the following scripts that are stated on the title:
1. Sort - this script will sort items into different categories (also teach me on how to add or remove a category).
2. Map Name - this script will show the Map's Name after they entered the map and will disappear after a few seconds.
3. Options - this script will add the Options in the menu, where the Message Frame can be changed, BGM and SFX Volume, and Message speed.
4. Text - this will show up the text with "One letter at a time". It must have no sound (the last one I got has). And the text will finish if Action or Cancel button is pressed and also please put the script that the Action or Cancel button must be pressed before the last message disappears. (I noticed that when the last message box appears and when I press directional buttons, it automatically disappears).
The script must not be SDK needed, since I don't know how to use it and I added other scripts.

I  found out a way to show the map name on screen just after you were teleported from map a to map b, but if you are just showing a window or an image with the name, it may produce some serious lag while the window or picture is visible. You may also need a counter to make it disappear... Maybe a switch could be used instead...

1) there are multiple ways to do this. Search for "Key items" or "Special Items"
2) There is also a script that does this. Search on "Display Location"
3) There is also an "Options" script out there somewhere. It brings up the "F1" menu.
    For the Message "Windowskin" & message speed, you will need a "Custom Message System.
4) Ccoa's "UMS" & Dubealex's "AMS" both work without the SDK, and will do everything you want. in UMS you can turn off the sound. If you need help killing the sound in "AMS", let us know.

Be Well

For shadowball, I just need the name to show up, it is without image or window, just the Map's Name. For Brewmeister, I seen SephirothSpawn's Script, but I don't know how to use it and the other one has an error.

Bump.

I must be feeling particularly generous today...  or bored :scruff:

Here's Yeyinde's script without the SDK dependence.
I can't guarantee that it's compatible with the rest of your scripts though.

I seen SephirothSpawn's Script, but I don't know how to use it and the other one has an error.

Which script do you want to use?
What is the error?

 

[magusbrother]

Thanks! I'll try this one. If I doesn't work, I'll say the error. I'm a novice in scripting.
