Title: [RESOLVED] [XP] Skip Title Script
Post by: Sowtis on March 14, 2008, 08:23:04 pm
Hey! If anybody out there knows, has or would make a script that does the following:

Skips the title when I run the game and goes to a specified map.

I need it so I can make an intro BEFORE the title screen. So its like...

"Chaos Project Presents..."

Then goes to the title screen.  (Chaos Project was an example)


I JUST want the title script, I don't want a bunch of scripts with add-ons.

Thanks! ;D

why don't u just use a splash screen? You just want an advertisement everytime you start the game right?

*power up for Nortos*!

I've been looking for something like that as well.  Only question is, can it handle animated gif images?

I'd rather have .avi but I read from those forums that it doesn't support it.  the 256 color limit doesn't bother me so much, but the 4meg file for a 4 second video kind of would..

yeah I think there's an avi player around on net somewhere could probably make a splash screen from that

Sorry Blizz, no time sucks, I know how it is...

just want an .avi capability with the splash screen that was from that site so I can animate my company logo (somewhat similar to how you have Stormtronics animated before your title screen.)

isn't that just done with different images?
Title: Re: [XP] Skip Title Script
Post by: Fantasist on March 19, 2008, 04:13:09 pm
It can, but you need to have an image with all frames or all the frames as images, you can't directly use an animated GIF.

HINT to all desperate folks: Search 66rpg.com for animated GIF in RMXP. I have the demo, but I'm too lazy to search in the utter chaos distributed among my 5 backup DVDs, especially because I didn't name the zip file properly (can't use search).

i might be a bit off topic here and i can see the problem was already solved however just incase if there are any problems with any of the solutions above, i have found and use this bit of script to make a cutscene

all you need to do is make a normal map or maps with an autostart event to start the prosses of the scene, like if you would make a scene in your game, however you would have a "return to title" command at the end of the scene, then you add this script above main and bwllow everything else

class Scene_Cutscene
def main
    $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")
    $data_tilesets      = load_data("Data/Tilesets.rxdata")
    $data_common_events = load_data("Data/CommonEvents.rxdata")
    $data_system        = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")
    $data_mapInfos     = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")
    $game_temp          = Game_Temp.new
    $game_system        = Game_System.new
    $game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
    $game_variables     = Game_Variables.new
    $game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new
    $game_screen        = Game_Screen.new
    $game_actors        = Game_Actors.new
    $game_party         = Game_Party.new
    $game_map           = Game_Map.new
    $game_player        = Game_Player.new
    @save_max = 3
    for i in 0..@save_max     
      if FileTest.exist?("Save#{i+1}.rxdata") : $scene = Scene_Title.new end
    end
    $game_map.setup(MMMMMMM)
    $game_player.moveto(XXXXX, YYYYYY)
    $game_player.refresh
    $game_map.update
    $scene = Scene_Map.new
  end
end


the MMMMMMMM is the Mpa ID and the XXXXXX and the YYYYYY is the location on the map for the player (best have the player to ahve no sprite set then) then go to Main in the scritps and change
$scene = Scene_Title.new
to
$scene = Scene_Cutscene.new
, with this you can also fix up any script that redirects you to the Title and chnage the Scene_Title part to Scene_Cutscene, i found this on http://rmrk.net/, can't remember who made it (couln't find the post) but one note, best to sue the current version of tons, when i first used this script i worked fine, when i used version 6.somethings (before the script was broken into 3) i was getting an error then when i got the current version of tons it worked again, just a little warning

Yes, that's right. If all you want is to display an image before the title, you can use that addon. Just take a screenshot of the map you want and use that image. Then, the script Memor posted works for a real cut-scene beforr the title.
