How to change map name display in a map?
Basically, I have a large open-world-ish desert, and I'd like to put a bazaar somewhere in the same map. When the player enters the desert, the name of the desert shows up in the map name display. But I want the name of the Bazaar to be displayed when the player enters it. Is there a way to change the name display of the map when the player enters the bazaar, and then change it back when they leave?

Also, is there a good way to fade the music of the desert into the music of the bazaar?

So what you are going to do is want to have an event, that is "below" the player so that they can walk over it. Have the trigger set to "player touch".

On the contents side you are going to want to simply add "Change Map Name Display" under page three of the event commands. Finish it off with a "Exit Event Processing" under page one of the event commands.

Now every time the player touches that spot, it will change the name of the map being displayed.

That's not what I'm trying to do. The map already displays a name for when the player enters the desert. I want the actual contents of the map name display to change, not just whether it appears or not.

Well, you are going to need to either download a script or hand program your own, I don't care enough about it to do it myself because I don't even use map names.

If I were, I'd personally just make identical maps with different names and then have a seamless character transition between the two.

I just tested it out, it works just fine.

A simple way to get around this would be to assign the name of the new map to a blank character in the database and have it reference the name in the script.

Have it check if the name is identical and don't show if it is, but if it is different, then the name appears in the map display name spot.

Really straight forward. But you need to know at least a little bit of coding.

I've done things just like this in my last few projects.

Here is my newest if you're interested.
