I've been wondering that myself...how you click on "new game" or whatever and it goes into an intro (or how to create an intro, when you still have your starting point on your physical map).

a. make a blank screen, start there, set the default hero graphics to none
then

now it goes to diffrent directions

1. use images , one by one they tell the story
2. use text (aka message button)
3. some text , teleport to an intro map, change the hero graphics or keep it blank if the hero isn't in that point (like in say a "far too long ago" intro)
and use move event commands to make the npcs do their work
4. using panoramas, same as pictures really, use wait commands and switch
5. all combined

b. teleport to the starting map and change the hero graphics to normal.

p.s use the white tiles (top left corner) to make the map "blank" (everything will be black)

Well that's easy than I expected.  :lol:  Thanks again blue.

EDIT: You know something else...I wonder if there is a possible way a script could be integrated or the Slipknot script could be modified to make the text type out....You know like someone is typing it as you are reading it.

The blank page blue told you to make, you need to set that as your starting position, set the default graphic to none...and teleport event to your intro screen from an event you made on your intro page then you won't see him. When you click New Game, it will just go straight to your intro page.

Use images to tell a story? How do you mean? Do you mean seeing picture images of people when they are talking?

Your looking for book scroll then. You are going to need to download Near Fantastica's test bed and install Dubealex's Text Scroll. Near's test bed consists of quite a few scripts that are very useful. Just do that, and follow the instructions and you shouldn't have a problem.

instead of changing the graphics just go to the system tab and  make sure there is no one in the party. Then after the intor use the add party cpmmand in an event.
