Splash Screen & Introduction, By sephiroth spawn Options

[Rydin]

This script wasn't made by me. Post/intrusctions quoted directly from the creator, sephiroth spawn.

___________________________

Introduction & Splash Scene - Last Updated : 01.08.05

Demo below

Description
It displays pictures before the Title menu, then, if you want, it will display a final picture with "Press Start" (or whatever you choose) flashing at the bottom.

Instructions
Make Sure your pictures are in your Titles folder, with all names known.

Then, go into Main and replace the line:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Title.new

with this:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Intro.new( [x], y)

Now Just replace x and y.

Change x to the pictures names and the order they will appear.
For instance: 3 Pictures named : "Pic 1", "Pic 2", "Pic 3" so your code would now be:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Title.new( ["Pic 1", "Pic 2", "Pic 3"], y)

Now, if you dont want a splash screen, just delete the ", y". But lets say you want one to display a picture named "Splash", just change it now to:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Title.new( ["Pic 1", "Pic 2", "Pic 3"], "Splash")

Now just put this code above Scene_Title.

end
end

If you would like the Title Screen To Fade in, go into Scene_Title and find the lines:

CODE

Graphics.transition

and make it:

CODE

Graphics.transition(x)

Just Change the x into (I Believe) the number of frames to fade in.(Larger # with make a slower transition)

You also need a picture (640*64 resolution) in your Titles folder as well. Heres an example:

http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/4131/start0hb.png

Just Import That to your titles folder and set the Black Part to transparent.
That Should be it. If Need be, I will post a demo.


Attachment lost, if you have it please PM me, thanks ~ Architect

Great submission there Rydain, maybe i will check this one out, i was using a different one.

[Mark_92]

hmm works good but it also comes up in test battle which is not a big deal

[Soku]

Im a moron, sorry... Do i just Copy and paste it into the scrpit anywhere?

[Moriarty]

Is there a way to make the Splash/intro screens delay longer...instead of them just fading out right away?

[Guy2610]

Was that off his site? because i have a different one that needs his special script base. I think its the same thing though.

@Soku-Put the big block of code above scene_title.

[Shiroiyuki]

Is there a way to take out the transition and speed pictures up?

For instance, let's say I have 720 images (frames from an animation). I'd like to add each to this script, eliminate the transitions and speed up the duration they appear to create a minute long intro FMV. For a standard piece of animation it is 12 frames/second. So the images would need to move very quickly with no fade in/fade out.

Could this script handle such things, and if so, how do I tweak it?

If not, is there another script (or perhaps a plug-in adjustment) that could?

If I don't want the last splash image to fade out what should I change in the script so Its working ????

[Legacy]

firstly try this.

secondly,
please dont necro post an old thread, make a new topic asking for help with this script instead.~ Legacy

[WIZ]

Thanks a lot ... Ok but I'm new to this forum and I didn't know I should make a new topic anyways thanks )

[Legacy]

just make it in the script support section. Eitherway im closing this topic.
