Okay, this is pretty much one easy as heck request for the moment.  I just need a modification to my Title Menu from the Vertical one we get as a default and I need it changed to a Horizonal one (Look at Chaos Project if you need a reference).

I need this edit because the new title screen for Chaotic Fury doesn't give me much to work when I'm using a Vertical Menu, so I need the Horizontal, and it'd be pretty cool if, just like the CP one, it could have some form of depth (Like, a fadeout thingy).

Quote from: Rule No.2Keep your signatures at reasonable size. The pictures in your signature may altogether be no more than 200kB and take up an area of 1600px2. That means 2 pictures of 400x200 are fine, one picture of 800x200 is fine and so on. Also your pictures height must not exceed 200 pixels, width can be as big as you want as long as your pictures match the other criteria. Every signature not matching this criteria is a subject of the moderator team to remove and leave this rule as message in your signature.

CP title command is more than a horizontal command window. For the fading thing, you need an image overlay, scripts can't do it effectivey, or at all.

EDIT: If I remember correct, 'New Game+' appears even if it's disabled. I can correct that for you if you give me/link to the script you're using. I think you want it quickly for the next demo?
Do you like ambient/electronic music? Then you should promote a talented artist! Help out here. (I'm serious. Just listen to his work at least!)

Yeah.  As you can notice, it's changed from Chaotic Fury - Beyond Sanity to Chaotic Fury - Requiem of Sanity...

Well, the new title I designed needs this, and I think the default style title menu is a little bland.

I'm using a New Game+ script I got off Creation Asylum a looooooong time ago.

Here's the NGP Script:
#==============================================================================
# ¦ Scene_New_Game_Plus (coded by Deke)
#     This purpose of this class is to allow the player to restart the game using saved characters if
#      they have completed the game with that party.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# A new feature (small one) was added by myself (Dubealex) to enable a
# count of the number of times you finished the game.
# Copy the lines between my comments and paste them in your original script,
# or simply use that full one.

class Scene_New_Game_Plus<Scene_Load
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize
  #You need to add the following line:
  @game_completion_count=0
  #ENd of the line to copy.
  $game_temp = Game_Temp.new
  $game_temp.last_file_index = 0
  latest_time = Time.at(0)
  for i in 0..3
    filename = make_filename(i)
    if FileTest.exist?(filename)
      file = File.open(filename, "r")
      if file.mtime > latest_time
        latest_time = file.mtime
        $game_temp.last_file_index = i
      end
      file.close
    end
  end
  @help_text="Which file do you wish to continue?"
end

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#This method checks to see if the selected game file has completed the game.
#  (A completed game is indicated by turning switch 1 ON.)

def game_completed(filename)
  file = File.open(filename, "rb")
  read_save_data(file)
  file.close
  return($game_switches[1])
end

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#This method is identical to the one of the same name in the Scene_Load class, with the
#the added effect of reseting the maps, switches,...

def on_decision(filename)
  unless FileTest.exist?(filename)
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
    return
  end
  $game_system.se_play($data_system.load_se)
  file = File.open(filename, "rb")
  read_save_data(file)
  file.close
if ! game_completed(filename)
   $scene=Scene_New_Game_Plus.new
   return
end

#New code to copy for the "Game Completion Count" feature.
#Begin copying here, and stop at my other comments.
#You also need to copy line #15, shown by a comment also.
@game_completion_count=$game_variables[1]
$game_variables     = Game_Variables.new   
$game_temp          = Game_Temp.new
#$game_system        = Game_System.new
$game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
$game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new

$game_map           = Game_Map.new
#$game_player        = Game_Player.new
#$game_party.setup_starting_members
$game_map.setup($data_system.start_map_id)
$game_player.moveto($data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y)
$game_player.refresh
$game_map.autoplay
$scene = Scene_Map.new
$game_system.bgm_play($game_system.playing_bgm)
$game_system.bgs_play($game_system.playing_bgs)
$game_map.update
$game_switches[1]=true #Since the switches were all reset, this one need to
                                     #be turned back on to indicate the game was completed.
$game_variables[1]=@game_completion_count
#Stop copying new "Game Completion Count" here.

end

end

May I make a suggestion? The NGP script is not the best of the ones I've seen, it's really messed up. Try finding others if you can.

It appears if it's enabled, instead of appearing all the time but disabled.

EDIT:

Paste this:
@new_game_plus_enabled = $DEBUG

just above the lines
s1 = "New Game"
s2 = "Continue"
.
.

and the option will appear during debug mode.

Still not working, it wont start up NewGame+ when I have the switch turned on.  I've got like, two save files with the New Game + Switch turned on, and none of them are starting up.

Also once this is all done ect you might want to edit these out that is unless want open to public or just for ur game GAX

I'm okay with keeping the modified New Game Plus script available, it's been in need of tweaking for a while.

The only one I might remove is the vertical menu when it's done, but that might stay open to public too, you never know.

Just checking if anyone's been working on this.

I have a bitchin title screen in the works for Chaotic Fury, but I need this kind of menu setup for it to work right.

I know how to swap it between horizontal and vertical but do you want a command window or just images like the MOG title screen?

here's the moving images on x axis insead of y Fantasist can edit it further with the new game plus stuff cos I wasn't sure what was wrong with that I haven't really looked at it
http://www.sendspace.com/file/eyigd3

To change the images for words just go to the top and it'll say BG_Words_Exit = "" or BG_Words_NewGame = "" you just put your pic into the titles folder of your game folder and write the name of the pic inside the quotation marks remember to make the image of the writing 640x480 as it's the easiest way

Hmm, it's pretty good honestly, but there are some flaws I've seen with this, and they're pretty big.

First one, is that the images are unnecessarily large, you don't need to use 640x480 with the positions marked.  I don't know much into scripting, but I think it would be easier to instead use an image depicting each selection (This is what I'm guessing is within Blizzard's modified Title Menu that he's using for CP), the images are set up not really to zoom in and out, but instead they just move left and right, and work like they're in a circle, so they can be swapped around and the selections can loop.  The other part I've figured from the last forum through Blizzard's showing off of how the images are set up on his title screen.  There is an image that fades in a gradient, from a semi-transparency that is white to the transparent color.  That is coded to appear over the pictures that are being used for selections, but the title screen itself is unaffected by the gradient picture.

What I was shooting for was a clone of the one that's in Chaos Project, mainly because it was perfectly executed and holds exactly what I was looking for.  I'm probably going to look through the script you wrote yourself sooner or later, and it's a pretty good shot.

k ty, oh and I'm pretty sure Blizz did do the full screen pic, you can just make the writing a lot smaller, but it's the easiest way especially when I'm doing it for you as I can't be sure how big ect you want it, also if you would like to make the overlaying image I'm pretty sure I could do it for you

More:

The New Game Plus doesn't work (That's a simple one, but maybe it's just setup differently on, I'll work on that aspect later, but there is more important stuff).
There is no way to tell if an option is disabled or not.  With my afforementioned style that I gave, the selections would also have possible for multiple images.  An example is this.  New Game and Shut Down can't be disabled, so they would have only one image, but Continue and New Game + would have 2 images, or a more user-friendly option would to just make it so they don't appear at all.

I dunno regarding the thing about Blizz using fullscreen images, we'd have to ask him.

In fact I use a window. I draw each command in the center, one left and one right. Then I move the window and it it gets "out of range", I increase or decrease the x value by a specific number, so the next set starts being shown. That creates an effect of cycling. I figured that one slightly bigger window (I draw only 2 or 3 commands off to the left and right) would cause less lag that a couple of sprites. This comes in handy especially now when I decided to use a slightly animated title. Again, I don't use like a couple of images, but an animation from the database on an invisible sprite to prevent lag as much as possible. ^_^
But I suggest you try it with images, it's more convenient that way and less likely to bug. I've had quite some troubles with making mine.

I posted it on the old CP. I simply used another image, identical to the title one, but with an opacity gradient to the center. The window is actually covered by an image.

Argh! Getting the sprites to loop's turning out painful to my head :X I decided to go for a plane with a bitmap forged from individual pics, but something seems off, it's too 'fixed', like, I can't grey the disabled continue. It seems easier somehow with text than sprites. Is there another thing I could do instead?Just wanted to know before going all out on it GAX.

Instead of graying out make the opacity 128. To do so, use the .blt method like usual and add 128 as another argument.

opacity change would work fine would be simple to and I think text still would of been hard images r easier with the actor_command index

My actual problem was, when there are 3 options, if one option fades away to the left, it should fade in from the right at the same time and I still can't get that to work.

Whene there are 3 options, you need to draw 5, even if the are duplicates.
