Good job. I was doing this through eventing and it was a pain in the ass.
This should make things easier.

[Advanced Title Screen]

Advanced Title Screen
Authors: ForeverZer0
Version: 2.0
Type: Title Add-On
Key Term: Title / Save / Load / GameOver Add-on

Introduction

This system will allow you alter the title screen and add some different effects that are not normally available.


Features

• Animated Title
  
• Different loop types
  
• Easy display of picture on screen and/or over animation
  
• Random Title Screen each load
  
• Transition Effect on loading saved games
  
• Weather/Fog Effects
  
• BGS and SFX
  
• Easy scene linking
  
• Add text to window
  

Screenshots

Attempt at catching full animation in three screenshots. You'll get the idea, though.

Demo

I used low quality graphics for the demo to keep the filesize down, but you can still see what it is capable of.

#  Version 1.0 (3.14.2010)
#  - Original write
# 
#  Version 1.1 (3.18.2010)
#  - Fixed a bug that would crash the game if you tried to return to the Title
#    Screen from the load screen when using the Load Transition.
#
#  Version 1.2 (3.21.2010)
#  - Added a part to pre-cache all the bitmaps before the animation begins,
#    which should drastically reduce the possibility of lagging.
#
#  Version 2.0 (10.03.2010)
#  - Totally re-written from scratch.
#  - Eliminated the unprofessional 'flicker' that would occur if the database 
#    had an image defined for the title graphic.
#  - Improved performance, compatibility, overview, and configurability.
#  - Added Features:
#     - More options to how animations operate, with easier configuration.
#     - Added scene linker to easily add new commands to the title window.
#     - Added config to work with custom save systems.
#     - Add option to display text on the background.
#     - Window appearance can now be easily changed.
#
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:
#
# Compatibility:
#   - Should be compatible with just about anything other than scripts that 
#     add animation, etc. to the Title screen
#   - Compatible with SDK
#
# Explanation:
#   This system will allow you alter the title screen and add some different
#   effects that are not normally available.
#
# Features:
#   - Animated Title
#   - Easy display of picture on screen and/or over animation
#   - Random Title Screen each load
#   - Transition Effect on loading saved games
#   - Weather/Fog Effects
#   - BGS and SFX
#   - Window configuration.
#
# Instructions:
#  - All the below configurable values can be set to nil to disable the feature
#    with the exception of SAVE_DATA. It is already configured to the default
#    system so leave it alone if you are not using a custom save system.
#  - If using the animated title, all pictures need to be named exactly the
#    the same, but have a different number at the end. The numbers should be
#    consecutive and in the order that the animation should follow. The first
#    image should be 0. (Ex. pic0, pic1, pic2, pic3, etc.)
#  - Configuration is below. Individual explanation for the settings is in 
#    their respective sections. All Graphics, Fogs, SFX, BGS, etc. that you use
#    need to be in their normal folders.

Author's Notes

Hope you enjoy. Be sure to credit if you use it in your game.

[MUCH]

Version is now 2.0.
Totally rewritten code.
Code has been optimized to reduce any lag and configuration has been made MUCH easier.

I personally don't know, I've never used it, but check out Caldaron's Realistic ABS.
I believe there is a demo for it at RPG-Palace.

I'm not sure, but I think there might be something along them lines in the script.

If you mean point-click-walk, no. This script is more of a tool to develop something else using it than an actually useful standalone script, but it can be used separately.

That is a quote by Blizzard in the "Mouse Controller" post.
The script really was designed to be used like that.

I know I sure as hell have no idea how to do it. Good luck, though.

Yeah, I have Vista, too. It takes a little longer to get it going initially, but runs exactly the same once done.

I had setup an instance battles system through events, very much the same as you mentioned above. It worked very well, but I changed my mind after I realized what a pain in the ass it would be to implement throughout a whole game.  

If you do decide to go with instance battles, I would suggest finding a way to script it so that making the enemies "attack" you (i.e. see you and run towards you) could be done through a comment in their event page or something like that.  

Check out Claimh's ATB CBS with his Chrono Trigger Interface.  That would be a good place to start.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I have a few other scripts, but I can't even post them because they all kind of work of of each other and would require someone else to have the same exact game setup...

I know the code above is a little screwy, it wasn't quite ready to be posted as it's own independent script.
Good luck, though.

# Zer0 Options Controller 
# By ForeverZer0
# Version: 2.1
# Date: 3.12.2010 (newest version)
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
# Version History
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
#
# Version 0.9 (2.28.2010)
#   - Original write and release. Not yet bug-free.
#
# Version 1.0 (3.4.2010)
#   - Improved coding slightly.
#   - Now disposes window when not in use to reduce lag
#
# Version 1.1 (3.5.2010)
#   - Removed some redundant code and improved some refresh/update methods
#   - Added the function so that changes can be made during battle
#   - Added a compatibility switch for Wachunga's MMW  
#   - Now 'Plug & Play', no intensive configuration needed
#
# Version 2.0 (3.10.2010)
#   - Totally overhauled. All configuration is in the module at the top.
#   - All fonts, skins, etc. were placed in arrays instead of branches
#   - Removed bug that would cause an error if the <, >, +, or - buttons
#     were pressed without holding 1, 2, or 3.
#   - Scrapped the opacity changer due to bugs and incompatibilty issues with
#     MMW that I couldn't work out, since the only way I know how to do it will
#     totally override all windows, which isn't always cool...
#
# Version 2.1 (3.12.2010)
#   - Can now change color of any windowskin (Provided it initially had color)
#   - Altered sample window to show font name and size as well as show the
#     name for the windowskin and windowskin color.
#   - Fixed small error that would allow the text size to be changed one
#     over/under the allowable size.
#   - Made a few minor improvements to the coding
#  
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
# 
# Compatibility:
#  - Will likely not not be compatible with an 'Options' menu or
#    system that alters the fonts, windowskins, etc.
#  - Compatible with SDK 1.5 and older. Not tested with newer versions, 
#    though I don't believe there would be any incompatibility issues.
#
# Explanation:
#   This system will allow you to change the font type/size on the fly in 
#   the game.  It will also allow the player to just as easily change the 
#   windowskin. A sample window will pop up when holding any of the option 
#   buttons to show the player the changes. It will dispose when the button is 
#   released to keep it fom causing lag. The player can change the system font 
#   (i.e. menus, etc.) seperately from the message window used for speech, 
#   etc. if using Wachunga's Multiple Message Windows.
#
# Instructions:
#  - Configuration is below. You can add/remove as many different items from
#    the arrays, just make sure each item is seperated by a comma, and that
#    there is a bracket at the beginning and end ([ ]).
#  - All names for windowskins, fonts, etc are case sensitive and must be
#    spelled exactly the same as the filename.
#  - If you use this in your game, include an Auto-Font Installer with it
#    to make sure anyone who plays it will have all available fonts.
#
# To Use:
#  - Hold [1], press [<] and [>] to change system font, [+] and [-] for size. 
#  - Hold [2], press [<] and [>] to change message font, [+] and [-] for size.
#  - Hold [3], press [<] and [>] to change skin, [+] and [-] for skin color.
#  - Hold [4], press [+] and [-] to change text color.
#
# Warnings:
#   Now, obviously making the text to big/small will cause graphical errors
#   and cause text to be cut-off, crammed together, etc., so use this with
#   a little common sense. If the minimum/maximum text size is set too small/big
#   it will cause an error, so make sure these are set within a usable range.
#
# Requirements:  
# - Need 'Blizzard's Custom Controls' to set-up controls (configuration below)
# - Script was written to be compatible with Wachanga's "Multiple Message 
#   Windows". Therefore, not all of the features will be available if not
#   using this message system.

Rest of instructions are in the Script.

Compatibility

None known. Compatible with SDK.
Does require Blizzard's Custom Controls

Author's Notes

Feel free to use any part of this in your game, just give me credit.
Some lines of code may have to be added/altered in other scripts, I'll probably update that sometime soon so
that it is not required.
Let me know how you like it, or if you have any constructive criticism, feel free to let me know.

Come to think of it, I might do a few edits and post this in the Script Database... Feel free to use use any part in your game if you need to, though. Hope that helped!

I made an Options menu for my game as well. I included a windowskin changer, font type/size changer, and audio controls. I use a custom Message Window script and I made the fontchanger to allow for settings to the "System" window and the "Message" window independently.

It worked very well, but I ended up scrapping the entire thing and doing something different.
I used "Blizzard's Custom Controls" and assigned buttons configurations so that if the "1" button is held down, it displays a window on screen and the "System" font text/size can be changed with

• ,[-],[<], and [>]. The same goes with the "2" button for the "Message" window. I use the "3" button for altering the windowskin and window opacity. The script is dependent on a couple other scripts, but if you I'll post you a copy of it to see if you can learn anything off of it.
  
  The current script also has the beginnings of text color changer, but isn't yet complete. To use it, hold the "4" button and toggle the colors with the assigned buttons.

  # Ultimate Text/Window Customizer

  # Date: 2.23.2010
  #:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
  # 
  # Explanation:
  # 
  #   This system will allow you to change the font type/size at any point in 
  #   the game. The player change the system font (i.e. menus, etc.) seperately
  #   from the message window used for speech, etc. It will also allow the 
  #   player to just as easily change the windowskin and window opacity.
  #
  # Instructions:
  #
  #  - Hold [1], press [<] and [>] to change system font, [+] and [-] for size. 
  #  - Hold [2], press [<] and [>] to change message font, [+] and [-] for size.
  #  - Hold [3], press [<] and [>] to change skin, [+] and [-] for window opacity.
  #
  # Warnings:
  #
  #   Now, obviously making the text to big/small will cause graphical errors
  #   and cause text to be cut-off, crammed together, etc., so use this with
  #   a little common sense.
  #
  # Requirements:
  #   
  #   Need 'Blizzard's Custom Controls', else you will need to edit and create
  #   your own button configuration, which will require a small bit of know-how
  #   on scripting.

[Terrain Tag Speed Modifier]

Terrain Tag Speed Modifier
Authors: ForeverZero
Version: 1.00
Type: Movement Add-on
Key Term: Movement Add-on

Introduction

Very simple script that will automatically change the player's move speed based on the Terrain Tag of the Tile ID they are walking on.  Good if you want your player to walk slower through high grass, moving up and down ladders, etc. without having to do it manually through eventing.

Features

• Easily customized to your needs
  
• Merely set the terrain tags in your database to change player speeds
  

Screenshots

None really required...

Compatibility

Shouldn't be any. Possible if you are using a script that modifies player movement

Credits and Thanks

Author's Notes

None

Ok, thanks a lot for the quick reply.

Hey, I just created a profile here, and I was wondering if this site accepted script submissions.
I have a few minor scripts I wrote, nothing ground-breaking, but I haven't seen nothing like them in
the script database, and thought maybe someone might be able to use them.

Hey, everyone. Thanks for the welcome. I keep coming back and using the scripts/resources off this site, so I decided to become a member. Of all the other similar sites out there, I think this one is the best. I wanna try to do whatever part I can to keep it that way.
