KAS Map Title Effects MV

KAS Map Title Effects MV is a cinematic location and chapter title system created exclusively for RPG Maker MV.

Replace the standard RPG Maker MV map-name window with large animated titles, atmospheric particles, optional subtitles and sound effects.

Perfect for displaying locations, regions, chapters, eras, battles, factions, dungeons, story transitions and major events.

12 Animated Visual Styles

The plugin includes 12 ready-to-use presets, each with its own animation and particle behavior:

• Classic – simple and clean RPG-style title
• Medieval – fantasy / dungeon atmosphere
• Blood – dark blood-red presentation with falling blood particles
• Military – tactical scan and military interface style
• Futuristic – digital glitch and scanning effects
• Nature – organic movement and nature particles
• Pirate – old parchment / adventure atmosphere
• Toxic – green toxic contamination effect
• Red Contamination – red military contamination / war style
• Darkness – purple shadows and dark-energy effects
• Fire – flames, embers and volcanic atmosphere
• Snow – snowflakes and frozen environmental effects

All visual effects are generated directly by the plugin.

No external graphic files are required.

Automatic Map Titles

The plugin can automatically use the RPG Maker MV Display Name of the current map.

Simply add a style inside the map's Note field:

<MapTitleStyle: Blood> 

When the player enters the map, the Display Name appears automatically using the selected cinematic animation.

Example:

Display Name: Castle of Chimera

Map Note:

<MapTitleStyle: Blood> 

Subtitles

You can add a second line below the main title:

<MapTitleStyle: Blood> <MapTitleSubtitle: Chapter 5 : The Order of Chimera> 

You can also customize its size:

<MapTitleSubtitleSize: 28> 

An alternate subtitle tag is also supported:

<MapSubtitle: Chapter 5> 

This makes the system useful not only for location names, but also for chapters, dates, regions, missions and narrative information.

Custom Map Titles

You are not forced to use the map Display Name.

A custom title can be defined directly in the map Notes:

<MapTitle: THE RED WAR> <MapTitleStyle: RedContamination> <MapTitleSubtitle: Europe - 1986> 

Per-Map Customization

Each map can individually override the default visual settings:

<MapTitleStyle: Fire> <MapTitleSize: 90> <MapTitleColor: #FFFFFF> <MapTitleY: 420> <MapTitleDuration: 240> 

Available map options include:

• Style
• Custom title
• Subtitle
• Subtitle size
• Main title size
• Text color
• Vertical position
• Display duration

You can also completely disable the cinematic title on a specific map:

<MapTitleOff> 

Manual Cinematic Titles

The system can also be triggered manually through RPG Maker MV Plugin Commands.

This allows the effects to be used during cutscenes, introductions, boss encounters, chapter transitions or important story events.

Example:

KASMapTitle Show "THE RED WAR" RedContamination 

With a subtitle:

KASMapTitle Show "THE RED WAR" RedContamination "Europe - 1986" 

You can also force the current title to disappear:

KASMapTitle Hide 

Temporary Overrides

Manual titles can temporarily override some settings:

KASMapTitle Size 96 KASMapTitle Color #FF4040 KASMapTitle Y 420 KASMapTitle Duration 240 

Reset them with:

KASMapTitle Reset 

Sound Effects

Every visual preset can have its own Sound Effect configured directly inside the RPG Maker MV Plugin Manager.

For each style you can customize:

• SE file
• Volume
• Pitch
• Pan

For example, you can use a radio beep for Military, wind for Snow, fire sounds for Fire, or an ominous effect for Darkness.

Leaving the SE field empty disables sound for that preset.

Preset Customization

Each of the 12 presets can be customized directly from the Plugin Manager:

• Font
• Font size
• Text color
• Outline color
• Outline width
• Display duration
• Appearance duration
• Disappearance duration
• Particle amount
• Sound Effect
• SE volume
• SE pitch
• SE pan

This allows the included presets to be adapted to the visual identity of your own game.
