Icon in Map Name Display

[Tiptank]

When I transfer to another Map I can display its name with map name display. But it seems I can't include any icon. I tried it with \i[X] and \\I[X] but these doesn't work. Is there an other solution?

Looks complicated, but says it will do what you want.

Thanks. I considered to use this but it gives me an error:

Script " line 289: TypeError occurred.
can't convert String into Array

Maybe there's another solution? I'm fine with the default map name display system. I just want to place icons in the map name. Maybe a short snippet will do the trick?

 

[Roninator2]

You were right. A small snippet will do

Spoiler: script

#==============================================================================
# ★ Icon displayed in Map Name Ver1.0
#==============================================================================
=begin

  Basically select the icon from your icon sheet and put the number down below

=end

#==============================================================================
# ★ Editable region
#==============================================================================
module R2MAPICON
 
  # Icon number
  Icon = 100
 
end
#==============================================================================
# ★ Script Code
#==============================================================================
class Window_MapName < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    contents.clear
    unless $game_map.display_name.empty?
      draw_background(contents.rect)
      draw_icon($game_variables[R2MAPICON::Icon], 0, 0)
      draw_text(contents.rect, $game_map.display_name, 1)
    end
  end
end

Thanks. So can I select more than one icon? Because I have two different kind of stages in my game, so it would be important that I can select different icons for them, depending if it is a defense stage or an offensive stage.

You will need to set the number in the variable you select.

#==============================================================================

  Basically select the icon from your icon sheet and put the number down below

#==============================================================================

module R2MAPICON
 
  # Icon number Variable
  IconVar = 1
 
end

class Window_MapName < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def refresh
    contents.clear
    unless $game_map.display_name.empty?
      draw_background(contents.rect)
      draw_icon($game_variables[R2MAPICON::IconVar], 0, 0)
      draw_text(contents.rect, $game_map.display_name, 1)
    end
  end
end

This line:

Spoiler

draw_text(contents.rect, draw_icon($game_variables[R2MAPICON::IconVar], 0, 0), 1)

Should just be this instead:

Spoiler

draw_icon($game_variables[R2MAPICON::IconVar], 0, 0)

Should just be this instead:

Thanks, obviously wasn't thinking

Thank you very much, it works perfectly.
