Displaying room names while playing?

Post by rld »

Is there any way in the current version of ACK to make the room names display (in non-worldmap regions) while playing an adventure? Or is there a simple way to overlay text on the room map display?

Just curious, as I seem to remember from long long ago that ACS would display the name of the room that the player was in.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that if you set the name of a room, and there's room for the name to display (i.e. the room is less than the full 11 tiles in height) that it will display during play. At least, that's how it's supposed to work, but I haven't used room names in a long time. If it doesn't work, let me know?

Ok, the room name is displaying correctly now. When I was first playing around with ACK, I didn't even realize that you could set the room names at all, since the "N" option to set the room name only appears in the room editor if you are editing a room less than 11 squares in height.
