[RESOLVED] Beginning Titles

I'm not sure if this is an event or not, but how do you make titles at the beginning of the game before the title that has 'New Game'  ' Continue' and 'Quit'?

You just draw it XP And then import it into "Titles" in the Import Manager and then go to Database -> System -> Title Screen (or something like that) and then choose your screen.

I think he means before that screen shows up...in which case try this:

# ** Introduction & Splash System
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SephirothSpawn
# Version 3.1
# 2006-10-17
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Version History :
#
#   Version 1 -------------------------------------------- (Aprrox. 2005-01-01)
#   Version 2 ---------------------------------------------------- (2005-01-08)
#    - Update : Re-scripted Much of the System
#   Version 3 ---------------------------------------------------- (2006-08-04)
#    - Update : Re-scripted Much of the System
#    Version 3.01 ------------------------------------------------ (2006-10-17)
#     - Bug Fix : Made Introduction Scene Child Class of Scene Base
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Requirements :
#
#   Scene_Base
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Description :
#
#   This Script was designed to create an introduction before the title screen
#   in your game. You will also have the option to display a splash screen,
#   where an image will flash (Usually Press Start). It also adds a timer at
#   both the splash screen and in the title screen, so after X seconds, it
#   will replay the introduction and splash. The splash is completely
#   optional. It will not be displayed from the editor (Debug Mode).
#
#   * Changes In 1.1 - Added Dependency On Scene_Base. Now Scene_Introduction
#   is a child class of Scene_Base (This Means Nothing to Non-Scripters).
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Instructions :
#
#   Place The Script Below the SDK and Above Main.
#   To Setup Introduction, refer to customization below.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Customization :
#
#   Setting Up Introduction Pictures
#    - Intro_Pictures = ['Pic 1', ...]
#
#   Setting Up Splash Pictures
#    - Splash = 'filename' or nil
#
#   (Pictures Should Be in the Titles Folder)
#
#   Picture Fade In Speed
#    - Picture_Fade_Speed = X
#
#   Splash Button Speed
#    - Start_Fade_Speed = X
#
#   Seconds Until Introduction Leaves Splash & Title
#    - Seconds_Until_Restart = X
#
#   Intorudction BGM
#    - Introduction_BGM = RPG::AudioFile
#
#   Restart Introduction At Splash Flag
#    - Restart_At_Splash = true (RESTART) or false (DON'T RESTART)
#
#   Restart Introduction At Title Flag
#    - Restart_At_Title = true (RESTART) or false (DON'T RESTART)

Place it below the SDK and above Main. Be sure to credit SephirothSpawn.

Yeah, next time please use the search button.

I think he is talking about a cutscene before that screen pops up, but I'm not sure. Please clarify request. If all you want is a different picture, do what Moo says. If you want what lackluster says, do what he said. If you want a cutscene, http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,8605.0.html

@Irock: The script lackluster posted is not on  this site, so if that's what he wants, it wouldn't help him very much to use the search button

yea before the screen comes up

By clarify, I meant what do you want to happen before the screen comes up?

Oh, whoops. I thought it was the same script.

I think he just wants something to happen before the screen, which can be done with what you posted.

yea before the screen comes up

That still doesn't explain whether you want a cutscene or a picture. XD Anyways, you should have the answer to add [RESOLVED] to the title of this thread by editing the first post.

EDIT: LOL YOU BEAT ME XD But he should still have the answer.

I think he meant what I posted..he said titles...not cutscene or movie or something...

But, it can be done with both scripts.

My way is easier though -_-

lack's is different. Edeon X's sends you to a map and plays an event-based cutscene. I think Seph's does a picture-based cutscene. At least, I think that's what it does.

I think you're right modern. Also, there's a weird thing between the usual SDK dependency things so I'm not sure if you can take it off... I'm not going to test >_> This was resolved so w/e.
