    • Introduction
    This plugin mimics the Gen5 (BW and B2W2) Signpost in Pokemon Essentials. It is an update of Shiney570's BW Location SIgnpost script to Essentials v19.1, with a lot of improvement and new features.

    Compatibility
    This script has been tested compatible with Pokemon Essentials v19.1 and the Generation 8 Project for Essentials v19.1. Any version lower than that isn't tested for compatibility with this Plugin.

    Changes from Shiney570's version
    1. Updated to v19.1.
    2. Some custom signpost graphics along with the original ones (eg:- Forest, Cave).
    3. Uses the Original font used for writing the route numbers in the callout in the splash.
    4. Support for 3 digit route numbers.
    5. Seasons splash is shown according to the BW Seasons and not real world seasons.
    Note: This plugin doesn't aim to create a script for changing tilesetrs according to seasons. This uses Pokemon Essentials v19.1 default season method to show seasons.

    • Very Minor Update

    Fixed a bug with the custom Port and Desert Signposts names in the code which caused the None Signpost Graphic to be used. Thanks to @Cross Agento on Relic Castle for reporting this bug. The update included very minor change in the script with just two words changing... But ya if you plan having some desert or port map, mind updating the script!
    The download link is still the same

    Um sorry, I probably didnt reply because I was busy with my exams and also with my personal life. But changing to the original topic, what do you want? Like show morning/ evening/ afternoon to show in place of spring/ autumn/ winter or you want to show what time it is like 4:00 PM?

    Speaking of the error, there could me many reasons why that is popping up, but I think theres some problem with how the season splash comes, but I will help you up qith the code once you tell me what you actually want.

    Well, you can try with this script, I have tested it to work (Replace the same portion):
    Code: 
        if SHOW_SEASONS == true
		time = pbGetTimeNow
        @season=Sprite.new
		if PBDayNight.isDay?(time)
			if PBDayNight.isMorning?(time)
			  @season.bitmap = RPG::Cache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Location/","Morning")
			elsif PBDayNight.isAfternoon?(time)
			  @season.bitmap = RPG::Cache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Location/","Afternoon")
			elsif PBDayNight.isEvening?(time)
			  @season.bitmap = RPG::Cache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Location/","Evening")
			else
			  @season.bitmap = RPG::Cache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Location/","Day")
			end
        elsif PBDayNight.isNight?(time)
			@season.bitmap = RPG::Cache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Location/","Night")
		end
        @season.y=Settings::SCREEN_HEIGHT
        @season.z=99999
    end

    Note: This will cause an error because the graphics for Morning/ Afternoon/Evening/Day/Night is not there, so make sure to create them first. Also the variable name for the graphics is stil @seasons, so you can replace all with something like @daytime to make it more logical, but its completely fine to keep it as it is!

    Hi, would it be possible to have it so we can set which maps are towns, cities, routes etc. rather than having to have it in the name? Thanks!

    I may not be the creator, but you could pretty easily just make the list of each Town, City, etc. keyword in the scripts just the maps' names instead to accomplish this, as obviously the map "Route 1" will contain "Route 1" in its name, for example.
