# ■ [RMVX] +Random Title Screen+

# Version 1.0
# by Woratana [woratana@hotmail.com]
# Release Date: 07/02/2008
#
# This scrip will random title screen
#
# You can set title screen pictures to be random at line:

# title screen picture must be in folder "System"
#
# For example, Title = ["Screenfire","Title1"]
# >> Title Screen will random between pictures "Screenfire" and "Title1".
#=============================================================================
class Scene_Title < Scene_Base
Title = Array.new

# Set Title Screen Pictures for random here!
Title = ["Title","Title10","Title25","Title50","Title80"]

def create_title_graphic
@sprite = Sprite.new
title_random = rand(Title.size)
@sprite.bitmap = Cache.system(Title[title_random].to_s)
end
end

Instruction
You can set the pictures that will be in random list for title screen at this line:

CODE

Title = ["filename","filename2","filename3",...]

put your file's name in double quote "filename", and seperate pictures with ,

Yay...
this is cool...

[OrigamiRose]

Hey, nice script you got here^^. Altough, I rather sticking with just one title picture

[jasonicus]

That was quick. This will be nice to use if you want some variety in the title. Especially if you want to show a pic of different characters.

[jens009]

Hey woratana, excellent script.

I have a few suggestions that might be worth considering when you make future upgrades for this script:
1) Make the title change if a certain actor in the party gain x amount of levels (Of course, other variation of level checks should be considered)
2) If a certain weapon/item/armor/switch/event/ etc. was obtained then change the title screen to something else.


Just some ideas might be worth thinking about.

EDIT: I just realized that you have made a highest level title screen script. I apologize for making this post.

[PMussulo]

hmmm...

seems like the Script collection is slowly increasing.

another few months and we'll be back to a state of RGSS powerfulness

[elflyfreely]

Great!
But there's a little bug here:

CODE

def call_battle
    @spriteset.update
    Graphics.update
    $game_player.make_encounter_count
    $game_player.straighten
    $game_temp.map_bgm = RPG::BGM.last
    $game_temp.map_bgs = RPG::BGS.last
    
    if $game_system.battle_bgm_enabled
      RPG::BGM.stop
      RPG::BGS.stop    
      Sound.play_battle_start    
      $game_system.battle_bgm.play
    end
    
    $game_temp.next_scene = nil
    $scene = Scene_Battle.new
  end

If you change the "call_battle" part like this and disable "game_system.battle_bgm_enabled", there will be no sound for battle start.

Little change:
Put one more"Sound.play_battle_start " beyond the "if $game_system.battle_bgm_enabled" line like this:

CODE

def call_battle
    @spriteset.update
    Graphics.update
    $game_player.make_encounter_count
    $game_player.straighten
    $game_temp.map_bgm = RPG::BGM.last
    $game_temp.map_bgs = RPG::BGS.last
    Sound.play_battle_start
    
    if $game_system.battle_bgm_enabled
      RPG::BGM.stop
      RPG::BGS.stop    
      Sound.play_battle_start    
      $game_system.battle_bgm.play
    end
    
    $game_temp.next_scene = nil
    $scene = Scene_Battle.new
  end

Then that should do it.
I'm new to, let's help each other. : )

Oh, I guess the "battle end" sound should be played after battle, so maybe one more "$game_system.battle_end_me.play" is neccessary. : )


P.S. Your script is exactly what I've been looking for for a lone time.

[rojse]

I love the new script - I hate always seeing the exact same title sceen whenever I start a game, particularly after a long period of time.

[dante_the_devil_...]

thanks for making this script me and my friends love it

MGCaladtogel's Mode7 Script

Features:

• flat maps (not curved)
• high resolution (each screen line is independent)
• map looping (x or/and y)
• animated autotiles
• Tiles with fixed terrain_tag not drawn flat with the map

Screenshots



Instructions:

[Show/Hide] Click to read

Toggling on and Controlling Mode7

To control mode7, you must add the following to the map's name:

[M7] : Activates Mode7 for this map. Required.
[#XX] : XX is the slant angle (in degrees). Default value is 0 (no slant, or normal).
[Y] : Turn map looping in the Y (horizontal) direction on. Optional.
[X] : Turn map looping in the X (vertical) direction on. Optional.
[A] : animated autotiles (with up to 4 patterns). This option significantly increases the loading time, so it may crash the game for large maps (SystemStackError)
[C] : to center the map on the hero (even for small maps)
[P] : Add a panorama behind the map
[H] : Add a white horizon behind the map
[OV] : Resize the sprite to be overworld sized (small)

Alternatively, you can create "shortcuts" for different map settings you use often. For example:

$mode7_maps_settings["Smallslant"] = ["#20", "A", "S"]

and

$mode7_maps_settings["Worldmap"] = ["#60", "X", "Y", "A", "H", "OV"]

Are defaults already set up in the script. To add more, just copy one of them and paste under them and change the settings to suit your maps.

Flat Objects

To have an object on a tileset be drawn flat, go to the database and change that object's terrain tag to 1 or 2. That object will be drawn flat on the map, like the trees in the screenshot.

To make an event be drawn flat, add a comment to the event with the word "Flat" in it.

Dynamic Controls

You can toggle on and off and control mode7 using the following Scriptlets in an event command:

$scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_set(new_angle) - redraws the map with the new_angle

$scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_set_p(new_angle) - redraws the map progressively from the current angle to the new_angle

$scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_redraw - redraws the map (useful with the following commands)

$game_system.map_opacity = value - defines the opacity for Mode7 maps (redraw needed)

$game_system.map_gradual_opacity = value - defines the gradual opacity for Mode7 maps (redraw needed) (ALERT: bug with horizontal looping)

$game_system.map_tone = Color.new(Red, Green, Blue) - defines the tone for Mode7 maps (redraw needed)

$game_system.map_gradual_tone = Tone.new(Red, Green, Blue, Gray) - defines a gradual tone for Mode7 maps (redraw needed)

$game_system.horizon = value - defines the horizon's distance (default : 960) (redraw needed)

$game_system.reset - Return all values to the defaults

Author's Notes
Once again, this is not my script. I only compiled the instructions and created the demo. Please credit MGCaladtogel for this script.

[KiteDXX]

Aside from the fact that you start the demo in the middle of water, unable to move, this is excellent. I think this is the first time map loops have worked without some bizarre side-effects.

I like it much more than the other Mode7, because that other one breaks the map tiles if you make it bend to much (then again, who does that?).

I could see an entire game being made with this perspective.

[ccoa]

Just press CTRL to move. -_-

[KiteDXX]

I tend to load the game.exe first, so I can't do that.

Ah well, no use arguing.

[dmoose]

I tried this script in my game but I still have my character walking on top of trees instead of under them like in the demo, what am I doing wrong?

[KiteDXX]

You don't have the priorities in the tileset configured, I'm betting.

Look at the tileset you're using in the Database (F9), and look for the "Priority" button. Set the higher levels of the tree to higher numbers, and your character will appear "behind" the tree like they should. See the priorities of default tilesets for a better example of how they should be configured.
