Here you go~

Add this above main:

[Show/Hide] script

CODE

module Worale

  MAP_ID = 2
  MAP_X = 9
  MAP_Y = 7
  MEMBERS = [1,2,3]
end

class Skip_Title
  def main
    $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")
    $data_classes       = load_data("Data/Classes.rxdata")
    $data_skills        = load_data("Data/Skills.rxdata")
    $data_items         = load_data("Data/Items.rxdata")
    $data_weapons       = load_data("Data/Weapons.rxdata")
    $data_armors        = load_data("Data/Armors.rxdata")
    $data_enemies       = load_data("Data/Enemies.rxdata")
    $data_troops        = load_data("Data/Troops.rxdata")
    $data_states        = load_data("Data/States.rxdata")
    $data_animations    = load_data("Data/Animations.rxdata")
    $data_tilesets      = load_data("Data/Tilesets.rxdata")
    $data_common_events = load_data("Data/CommonEvents.rxdata")
    $data_system        = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")
    $game_system = Game_System.new
    $game_temp          = Game_Temp.new
    $game_system        = Game_System.new
    $game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
    $game_variables     = Game_Variables.new
    $game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new
    $game_screen        = Game_Screen.new
    $game_actors        = Game_Actors.new
    $game_party         = Game_Party.new
    $game_troop         = Game_Troop.new
    $game_map           = Game_Map.new
    $game_player        = Game_Player.new
    $game_party.skip_setup_starting_members
    $game_map.setup(Worale::MAP_ID)
    $game_player.moveto(Worale::MAP_X, Worale::MAP_Y)
    $game_player.refresh
    $game_map.autoplay
    $game_map.update
    $scene = Scene_Map.new
  end
end

class Game_Party
    def skip_setup_starting_members
    @actors = []
    for i in Worale::MEMBERS
      @actors.push($game_actors[i])
    end
  end
end

To setup the script is similar to VX one, I think you will understand it~^^

The other thing is you've to go to "Main"

replace line:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Title.new

with >>

CODE

  if $BTEST
  $scene = Scene_Title.new
  else
  $scene = Skip_Title.new
  end

This will help you to not skip title when you're testing batlte from database.

[jjgriff93]

thankyou woratana!! That's been a really big help.

[GasparXR]

Really nice script, it's exactly what I was looking for! You make some really good scripts! Unfortuantely I'm not at home right now so I can't try it out, but I will, and I'll post some feedback!

[Shadoan]

Ok, this is stupid but here I go.

Anyone ever thought of making a map the title? End game and start new position is easy, but on load game, thats always a hard one right?

Not to steal the glory but anyone with the same idea but can't get the load screen up, go to events and use call script or script button right under advance on page 3.

Put this code in it.

$scene = Scene_File.new(false, true, false)

THIS opens the load Menu, no matter when or where in a event, I was going to use this script and make a map title, this post is for those who want to map a map for their title screen in their own way the same.

By the way Woratana, AWESOME SCRIPT!!!

[woratana]

Nice.

However, Scene_Title has advantage that it has scripted 'check save file availability' method.
So it will not let the player get into Load screen if there's no save file.

So maybe you want to add about how to check that~

[Shadoan]

Thats the hard part........
Im an amature in rudy scripting to do the little things.
Opening the load menu or any other function from scripts like the item menu, or the skill menu or any menu from via advance script, or editing coordinates and numbers from scripts knowing what those numbers do.

Theres nothing more to it I know.

Even IF there wasn't a save file, it won't appear on the load screen.

right, I had a problem and i've got no idea how to fix it. I'm hoping you can help me Woratana.
I inserted your script, entered my map number and co-ordinates, then put in [start_member=0] for the party members.
I'm having a kind of introduction video to my game. When I test it, It skips the title screen and goes to the right map but it comes up with no player in it, and the autorun event that makes the video doesn't start. It also comes up at the wrong co-ordinates too. Please can you help if you can! Thanks!

[woratana]

Show me what did you put in there.

The actor ID is start from 1.

When you say Commercial and non-commercial what do you mean

[Twilight27]

Um...when I copy/paste your script, it is pasted as one long line, and not in the format shown in the first page?
I know for another script, this occurs when it can only work with itself and not another script, but...I deleted the other script you have and the same problem occurs.

In the script page, (at the bottom) there's: (* = square box thingy)


(insert here)

* Main Process
Main


Where exactly am I supposed to put the script? Maybe am putting it in the wrong place?
(And also....when adding more than one scripts to your game, where do they all go? Do you 'insert' a new space above the * Main Process?)

[YanXie]

I guess you use IE ?

Well,this only happen if you use IE,it would never happen to firefox user,so use firefox instead of IE.

And no,insert new space above (Insert Here).

[Twilight27]

Okay thanks, it works perfectly now . It was stupid IE giving problems.

Um, another question! How do you skip the intro demo now? I've seen in other games, the message "Press shift" to skip.

So...how to?

-thanks.

[woratana]

@sean7595
Commercial is game that you sell, non-commercial is game that you release it for free.

@Twilight
Just use event command to check if the button is pressed

you may want to take a look in demo

[sean7595]

Thanks, i aint that smart so i didnt know what it meant!
Really Good script though!

[jjgriff93]

sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I haven't checked my emails 4 ages!
I sorted the problem anyway, I think I'm finally starting to understand it better.
It's just that with my wierd scripts, it wouldn't work, so I replaced skip_setup_starting_members with setup_starting_members!
Now, you've got to admit, thats a work of scripting genius lol!

[Xirdneh]

Hey Woratana,

Is there a way I could change it so that I could do something like this? Have it load from the players most recent or a specified save slot, use some events to make the actor move around randomly (Or maybe I could have conditional branches and variables so that I can set move routes.. I dunno.) but also make it my title screen.

So in a nutshell have the start screen show the player moving around where they last saved?

[gilly]

I was wondering is it possible for somebody to "merge" this script (skip title) and the deadlydan title script http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/?showtopic=8310

so that i can skip the titles play some splash/moving pictures intro, (with events), then return to my modified title screen

really would be a great help :-)

[YanXie]

Nope you don't need to modify anything for both script to work,since they are using separate class(Scene_Title and Skip_Title)so you could just call Title screen like usual.

cheers,puppeto4.
