#  * Munkis' Animated Title Screen V 1.1
#  * Made by munkis
#    ╔══════════╗
#    ║ FEATURES ║
#    ╚══════════╝
#  * Adds an animated bi-layered background to the Title Screen.  It started
#    out as an add-on for my Animated Menuback script, but I felt it would be a
#    better idea to make it a seperate script in case the user would rather use
#    a different custom title screen script.
#  * Uses aliases, so any scripts that add commands to the title menu should be
#    compatible.
#  * V 1.0: Initial release
#  * V 1.1: Added logo window.

When I use this and re-do all my own artwork for the background, forground and menu_title...I get this message about the "Cache" script?
this line:

CODE

@cache[path] = Bitmap.new(path)

the message says:

CODE

????? 'Cache' ? 80 ??? RGSSError ????????
failed to create bitmap

i don't understand it doesn't do this with the original Pictures, and all i did was overwrite them with my own artwork, so...what happened? Any help? I appreciate it greatly, thanks in advance to anyone who attempts to guide me in the correct direction.

[munkis]

That's... odd. I have no idea why it's doing that; there shouldn't be any compatibility issues...?

[Night5h4d3]

Two possible reasons I could think of would be either RMVX doesn't like the file format (try specifying .png or .jpg, occasionally I've noticed that my projects have given me problems with file extension). Or it could be that RMVX doesn't like the way you moved them there, as in, try using the import function; dunno, might work.

Other than that, no one can really say for sure without seeing the project.
