Map GameOver

[jwideman]

Want to use the background map in place of a game over screen? Want to have a menu pop up to let you reload instead of pressing a key to return to the title screen? How about just the menu? I did, so I made this script. It is plug and play, just put it below Materials and above Main. If you put an image named Game_Over.png in Graphics/System/ it will show that image. Otherwise it will print "Game Over" - no switches or variables needed! To use your regular game over screen, just rename it.

Note: This will not work with encrypted projects. I'll get a fix out soonish.

Just to let you know, that check for the image file will not work with encrypted projects.


It will result in an error (unless you have a "Graphics/System" folder outside of the encrypted area).


You can just make a setting for it in the script to let the users enable/disable it if they want instead.

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess it won't be "drop it in and go" as I'd hoped.

Okay, here's an alternate version for those that use encryption. It uses a variable, MAPGO, which if set to false won't look for the file. If set to true, "Game_Over.png" must be in Graphics/System/
