I agree with Leventhan.....
Make sure in the database of course, that the tileset you are using does not have a panorama, and make sure not to set one when creating the map itself.....
Then have your auto-start event ask the questions, and when it's all said and over with, tele- your main character to the map where you want your game to start.....
*Kudos again Leventhan for the links!!
