    Map as Title Screen
    ​




    Introduction
    Customize your title screen by having a map scene as its background! You can also add more eye candy by using Yami's Title Decoration.

    Features

    • Set the starting map of your title screen
    • Add weather effects, etc. (of course, by using weather scripts and adding them to your map)
    • Still display your game's title, add borders, etc. (retains Ace's default title screen)
    • Use Yami's Title decoration to add more pizzazz.

    Add weather effects, etc. (of course, by using weather scripts and adding them to your map)
    How about the weather events?

    @Tsukihime Yes, you can also add them. 

    EDIT: I placed a screenshot showing weather effects can also be used alongside the script.

    only issue i can see with this is that ctrl no longer allows u to ignore impassable tarrain

    do other debug options still work not tried though
  5. nthcat

    @pclaydon - It's a title screen, so the player is not allowed to move.

    UPDATE:
    Fixed issue when user can access the debug menu.

    how about event? does it works? (ex i use event and put it to autostart/paralel process trigger)

    if yes this is really great script to have.

    we can combine show pictures to create cool sequence of title screen. :D .

    @estriole - Yes, all types of events. Actually in the fourth screenshot (the one with MA's Hover Alerts), the rain is set on parallel process.

    Would making an Animal Crossing intro be feasible with this script?

    Here's what it looks like in the actual game, btw:



    The title screen is pretty much a villager or (in the gamecube version) a random player, walking around while the camera follows him/her while also displaying the logo and a "Press :insertbutton here:" prompt.

    This seems very similar to an eventing title screen I used back then for RMXP for my first real game. Can I achieve something similar to this? This is my game from years ago.
  10. nthcat
    #10 Source
    @Internetakias - You can. Use Galv's http://galveraxe.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/cam-control/'>Cam Control script. Set up your scene on how you want the camera to move (the script has instructions), and it should work fine. :D


    @seita - You also can. It just depends on how you set-up your scene, as long as it only happens in the configured map. The title intro can be done through eventing, I guess. There are other Title Screen scripts out there like Moghunter's. Just put it below this script. If there are bugs when using these Title Screen scripts, just leave a post here.


    Thanks!

    Perfect, thanks :D

    -EDIT-
    Hang on, doesn't seem to be compatible with Yami's script, and I downloaded the right script (the compatible one).

    Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

    @Zachy I'm sorry for replying late. It seems that I forgot to add some lines in the update method. It's fixed now.

    If you still encounter problems, leave it here. :D

    Works fine now, thanks very much! :)

    We can't help you without more info on what you've done.

    For example, the link to the script provides two different script versions - which one did you use?

    What other scripts do you use? it looks like the script doesn't get started or initialized if nothing had changed, and that often means that another script blocks the function and you'll have to reorder your scripts.

    Screenshots of your map properties and how you select that map for title would also help to check if you simply mistyped a name...
  16. nthcat
    #16 Source
    @Kalacious You might want to set the title graphic to none. I think that's the reason why the title graphic is showing instead of the map. :)

    Maybe I'm just way tooooooooo inexperienced, but...

    I only always get the error "line 37: Error occured, uninitialised constant object:: Scene_Base"

    I didn't change anything apart from the Map ID in the config-part. v.v I'm sorry, it's probably actually a very obvious mistake, but I'm completely new to this...

    Place this script below Materials and above Main.

    Thank you! I did this, now that error is gone... I do get an error called "undefined method `symbol_list' for #<Window_TitleCommand:0xa68bcbc>". The error apparently occurs in line 192 and is a NoMethodError, but I can't figure out what's wrong there.
