Looks decent, I'll find out and comment when I get home later.

How would I go about getting a sound to play while the splash appears, then stop when it fades out?

Good idea, going to post the new enhanced version now.

Splash can be created by KGC's script, as for the Intro Movie, there's a new problem, most game makers that work on RPG Maker have no graphic tallent or little tallent to make a intro movie...

That's my opinion, but I'll probably use it and create my own movie

Well the script is great, but most people using RPG Maker don't have the skill for a movie. You shouldn't delete it.
I'll make something in Flash in the next month and will tell you how it works.

hey great script dude!
I love it, but there is only on problem... Whenever it changes to as new splash it just pops up instead of fading in...
Could you fix that?

[Kikojui]

Ummm I'm in the process of making my 3D intro for my game, Will this play, and also is it only .avi that is playable? Just out of curiosity?

[Shadow_Satey]

No DEMO = FAIL.

[jays]

This looks good. I'll try it out and see if it works fine for me.

:\ I don't understand... It works fine at me...

[WillH3iZ]

I input the script as said and yet nothing happens. I start the game and all I get is a blank screen yet when i press the cancel button it goes to the start menu of my game. Can you explain this?

Could you send a small demo, please?

[huntoxic]

No DEMO = FAIL.

NO DEMO = Don't want to upload video (its a bit large...)
If you don't believe it, don't use it...

[dorky106]

you should think about a end game video for credits or end game scenes (would make credits alot easier)

[huntoxic]

Just a Movie.play event at the end of the game. Or do you mean game over?

[deffenex]

could it be edited so that the images fade in.

[Zero2007]

could it be edited so that the images fade in.

Yeah I'm Having the same problem...
