+[ MAP CREDIT ]+ Version 1.0, ** Credit script with Background and Decoratable text~ Options

[woratana]

Map Credit
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 10/05/2008 *Prom Night~*


Introduction
Same as old XP credit script that I have no idea who is originally scripted that

Anyway, this script has same way to setup the credit, but the different is CREDIT WILL SHOW IN MAP!!

Why the credit in map is better?
Because you can move event, show picture, do other thing else while credit text is scrolling.

And you can also decorate text in credit the way you like with tag, like <b> for bold text, or <i> for italic text.

You can set the background image you want to show when credit is scrolling too~


Features
Version 1.0
- You can use background image
- You can decorate text with special tags
- You can setup default decoration for header text (text that include <h>) and normal text
- Credit will run in map, so you can use your eventing skill to make credit scene more interesting.

Great work!

Now everyone have to remember the name of scripters

[prinsu kun]

Sweeeeeeeeeeet Thanks for the Great Script
I will try it and hope it's work with my other scripts without troubles

[randalbr]

Cool! We have ways to make a cool demo with profissional credits. Thanks Woratana! \o/

[Azuaya]

Yay, thank you woratana. *thumbs up* now I have my credit section completely!! well not at the title screen but all's good. haha well done mate.

[woratana]

I'm not sure if this will work
but you can try this to show credit in other scene~

Copy this part:

CODE

#----------------------------------------
# Plug Credit to Map >_> <_<~
#----------------------------------------
class Scene_Map < Scene_Base
  attr_reader :credit
  alias wor_mapcre_scemap_str start
  alias wor_mapcre_scemap_upd update
  alias wor_mapcre_scemap_ter terminate

  def start
    @credit = Wora_Map_Credit.new # Create Credit
    wor_mapcre_scemap_str
  end
  
  def update
    @credit.update # Update Credit
    wor_mapcre_scemap_upd
  end
  
  def terminate
    @credit.terminate # Dispose Credit
    wor_mapcre_scemap_ter
  end
end

And at line:

CODE

class Scene_Map < Scene_Base

change Scene_Map to other scene, e.g. Scene_Title

[perroinu]

I get this error...

unable to find file Section004:80:in ‘initialize’Graphics/Pictures/credit_bg.

Uh...what?

[woratana]

Setup the script first

CODE

  BG_Image = 'credit_bg' # Background Image file name, image must be in folder 'Picture'
  # leave '' for no background

[randalbr]

Does have a way of changing the images in the background, but keeping the credits rolling normally?

[woratana]

Just use event command 'Show Picture' instead.

[Suraksin Varja]

Is there a way to force it to return to the title screen after its done? or after you press a button?

[Azuaya]

no worries, I will just probably add the credits at the end of the game so ye .... but I just hope people are bothered to read it >.<

Edit: I have created a separate window of displaying two commands, Start Credit and Back To Title ^^ yay finally a separate page for showing credits =]

@Azuaya
Alright

@Suraksin Varja
Just use event command

[Azuaya]

I have created a separate window of displaying two commands, Start Credit and Back To Title ^^ yay finally a separate page for showing credits =]

well credits to you for this script man, finally I can show people of who I've credit to ^^

Oh you may have notice but whenever someone press the start credit twice during half way been shown, the first one will freeze there instead of clearing it out you know? which is a problem for title ... oh well still good since I maybe have to add another command to clear it.

Yeah but I'm runin the script off a Tittle Command, so when you hit credits at the tittle it loads this script. not too sure how to make it return to the tittle screen once its finished.. it just plays over and over lol
there's got to be a script line I could add that would end the credits and return me to the tittle, I'm just not too familiar with scripting to figure it out lol.

EDIT: hehe didnt see the above post- what did you do to create the new window? and yeah im havin the same prob with the creds locking up and replayn over itself.

First things first, I'm going to test out after when credit is finished like put a number of waiting frames, then it'll return back to title but I need to know what's the syntax for Wait frames? Does anyone know?

Edit: Don't worry I've tried the wait frames as well and it appears it'll just be the same T.T

Second, Ermmm I'll post mine up here but you'll need to use Woratana's Custom Title Screen Menu.
1. After you use that, go to your database, change the new game, continue or end to whatever you want since it won't show up on title no more.
2. Go to script editor, go to Vocab (at the top), go all the way to the bottom.
3. Add this,

CODE

# Start Credits
  def self.start_credits
    return $data_system.terms.new_game      *Note* Look at step one and you'll know what I mean for that new_game
  end

# End Credits
  def self.end_credits
    return $data_system.terms.to_title
  end

4. Then now for the big bits.... even though I did used the scene_title script lol for the command windows.

[Show/Hide] View it

  def command_end_credits
    $scene = Scene_Title.new
    close_command_window
  end
end

5. Finally go to Woratana's Custom Title Screen Menu script and add COMMAND[n] = ['Credits', '$scene = Scene_Credits.new'] *n = number*

There you go, then it should work OO else ... PM me

[Suraksin Varja]

This is what I'm getn

Script 'Scene_Credits" Line 72: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method 'start_credits' for Vocab:Module

Works decently using $scene.credit.start in the command on the title screen, but it wont stop scrolling or return to title lol

Script 'Scene_Credits" Line 72: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method 'start_credits' for Vocab:Module

We're seem to have gone off-topic OO well sorry I apologize... we'll take it to the PM if more problems keep occurring.

Go to script editor, go to Vocab (at the top) select that script, now you see all those scripts? go all the way down from Vocab scripts.
Then add these

# Start Credits
def self.start_credits
return $data_system.terms.new_game
end

# End Credits
def self.end_credits
return $data_system.terms.to_title
end

and it'll work after that.
