Title: Intro text....
Post by: Andromeda on March 30, 2006, 03:50:38 AM
One question for all you bigwigs out there. How might I go about putting intro text up? Like say it was a dimmed screen, and I told a prologue....

Events, use the tint screen command to make it darker, and then have the text show up.  Last I checked the tint screen shouldn't interfere with the text =/

here's one way

1. make a new map to serve as your intro map.
2. fill it with the white (transparent) tiles to make it black ingame.
3. set a starting point anywhere in the map
4. put none as your character sprite.
5. make an event and put message display options (RMXP - Postality)
6. in the event box, select Window Position Middle, and Don't Show window.
7. start adding some text.
8. if you are done with the prologue, just set the message box options to bottom (or top, whatever it is you want) then Show window. then go to change hero graphic (page 3) in that same event to put your old character graphic back.

this is just one way
another way is to use DubeAlex's Text Scrolling Script
