    I would like to have the title screen of my game be random from a pool of images. The biggest gimmick of my game is things being just a little bit different every time you look at them, so it would really push that aesthetic forward.
    The problem is that I can't seem to find a way to event this, and I know less than nothing about Javascript. I found this post that promised a plugin to do what I want, but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to work either... :kaodes:

    Can anyone help me get the plugin working or point me towards one that'd change the title screens?

    I didn't feel like looking through someone else's code so I just wrote one really quickly, it was like 10 lines of code. Copy the following and save it as "ALOE_RandomTitleBackgrounds.js" and activate it in your Plugin Manager. Then you can choose the title images in the parameters.

    Code:
    //=============================================================================
// RPG Maker MV - Random Title Backgrounds
// ALOE_RandomTitleBackgrounds.js
//=============================================================================

//=============================================================================
/*:
* @plugindesc Random Title Backgrounds
* @author Aloe Guvner
*
* @param titleNames
* @text Title Backgrounds
* @type file[]
* @dir img/titles1
* @require 1
* @desc A list of Title Backgrounds that will be randomly chosen from.
*
* @help
* This plugin will choose a random background for the title from the list
* configured in the plugin parameters.
*
* Free for use in commercial or non-commercial games.

*/

(function() {
    var Parameters = PluginManager.parameters('ALOE_RandomTitleBackgrounds');
    var titles = JSON.parse(Parameters.titleNames);
    Scene_Title.prototype.createBackground = function() {
        var title = titles[Math.floor(Math.random() * titles.length)];
        this._backSprite1 = new Sprite(ImageManager.loadTitle1(title));
        this._backSprite2 = new Sprite(ImageManager.loadTitle2($dataSystem.title2Name));
        this.addChild(this._backSprite1);
        this.addChild(this._backSprite2);
    };
})();

    Can you give some more information about how you want the title screen to function exactly?

    Do you want it so that on title screen load there is a random picture selected and displayed? or do you want random pictures to appear, disappear after a set time? Do you want them to scroll or have any kind of animation included?

    @Aloe Guvner That's perfect for what I wanted, thank you so much!!! :kaocry:

    @Kwerty Ah, yes to the first and no to the second and third? I know there are plugins out there for animated title screens, but I just wanted a different static title image when you open the game. Thank you though!!
