NAME OF PLACE

Use pictures, set a parallel process to show the picture and have it fade out after a few seconds.

I think you should spend some time getting familiar with the basics of the program than asking for advanced systems like that.

But anyway, go to the database, create a common event named "showmapname" or anything you choose.

In the box, choose the event called "show picture", you will be taken to a dialog box that states the file name of the picture (assuming you made it and imported the picture in the "pictures" folder), your x and y coordinates, your transparencies and zoom settings. Obviously, pick your picture in the drop-down box, click ok.

To have it fade out, choose the "move picture" command. Choose the number you set the picture to when you created the picture (default is 1), and increase the transparency to 100. There should aslo be a "wait" box that displays the number of frames the action should take place.

A thing to note is that in RMVX, every 60 frames is equal to roughly one second in real time, so if you want the fading to happen within 10 seconds, you would input 600 frames.

After that, put in a "wait" event command after the move picture, using the same value for the frames, then put in the "erase picture" command, specifying the number that identifies your picture.

You common event should be done, now go to your map and click on whatever teleport event you created that leads to the map you want the picture to be displayed. In the event editor, choose the "call common event" command and select your common event in order for it to run, and I think that should be it.

There are also scripts for this that you can plug in. I know MOGHUNTER has made some map title script thingy that does precisely what you want.

Or use a lame script that makes that Map name pop up look like everyone else's...

You also have to consider how thick the OP is.
