Castlevania-style map names

I would like to be able to have a nice big non-interactive and not-game-stopping sign with the map name every time I enter it for the first time.

Similar to how Castlevania did it:


I only found one plugin - LTN_WindowPop but it doesn't let me customize much. Do you guys know any plugins that could help me out?

You could do this with the show picture command and common event. Just would need to make a picture graphic for each map name that you want.

Was hoping for a less manual solution - a plugin that just displays the map name and lets me change the font / placement and add a gradient

You can easily do this with Yanfly's Gab Window plugin: http://yanfly.moe/2015/12/18/yep-46-gab-window/.

Thank you, we're getting closer. This is actually a very nice plugin, but...
1) It only lets you set the Y axis for the text, not the X axis, so I can't center it.
2) The axis can only be set globally, which means if I used this plugin for map display, I wouldn't be able to use it for gab displays at the same time.

So yeah... closer, but still not it, unfortunately :/

Checkout moghunter's map display name plugin

Hmm I find moghunter's stuff quite messy most of the time, but let's see what he has.

But this one worked perfectly. Thank you!

Moghunter's stuff is different but typically well designed.

I had bad experiences with his time system - was hard to customize, eats up a ton of switches, every month had 31 days and there was some weird jank in the days themselves (sometimes it could skip 2 days ahead).
