I'm moving all of my scripts from rmxp.org to this site. I like it here better.

Introduction
This is a really simple splash screen for you. When you use this, two splash screens will appear when you open your game.

Steps
1. Open Main and change Scene_Title.new to Scene_Splash.new.

CODE

$scene = Scene_Splash.new

2. Put two graphics called Intro-1.png and Intro-2.png into your project's \Graphics\Pictures folder.

(note: these graphics can also be jpgs, gifs, or bmps... it really depends upon your preference)

3. Add this Scene_Splash script above Main:

CODE

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Show two splashscreens when your game loads
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Scene_Splash

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ● Initialize the scene
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main

# Load the System database & create a new game
$data_system = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")
$game_system = Game_System.new

# Initialize some transition stuff
@show = true
@hide = false
@n = 0
@splash_numb = 2

# Define info about each splash screen
@sprite1 = Sprite.new
@sprite1.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("Intro-1")
@sprite1.opacity = 0

@sprite2 = Sprite.new
@sprite2.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("Intro-2")
@sprite2.opacity = 0

# Update graphics and input
Graphics.transition
loop do
   Graphics.update
   Input.update
   update
   if $scene != self
     break
   end
end

# Discard your graphics when you leave this scene
Graphics.freeze
@sprite1.dispose
@sprite2.dispose

end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ● Update the contents in this scene
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

def update

   # If SPACEBAR is pressed, go to to title screen
   if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      $scene = Scene_Title.new
   end

   # Change the opacity of the graphics
   transition

   # Update graphics
   @sprite1.update
   @sprite2.update

end

#--------------------------------------------------------------
# Transition through splash screens
#--------------------------------------------------------------
def transition

      # Fade in a splashscreen
      if @show == true
         @n += 2
         if @n > 255
           @hide = true
           @show = false
           @n = 255
         end
       end

      # Fade out a splashscreen and load the next one
      if @hide == true
         @n -= 2
         if @n < 0
           @hide = false
           @show = true
           @splash_numb -= 1
           @n = 0
         end
       end

      # Choose which action to perform in this scene
      case @splash_numb
        when 0
          $scene = Scene_Title.new
        when 1
          @sprite2.opacity = @n
        when 2
          @sprite1.opacity = @n
      end

end

end

4. Play your game!

If I only have Intro-1.png will it show another blank screen?

It will crash. Delete everything for splash2, change @splash_numb = 2 to @splash_numb = 1. In case @splash_numb, make sure you put splash1 under case 1, not case 2.

If you're not to busy, could you do it to where there is only one? I would try like you said but I know nothing of scripting.

Sure. Here you go:

CODE

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Show one splashscreens when your game loads
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Scene_Splash

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ● Initialize the scene
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main

# Load the System database & create a new game
$data_system = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")
$game_system = Game_System.new

# Initialize some transition stuff
@show = true
@hide = false
@n = 0
@splash_numb = 1

# Define info about each splash screen
@sprite1 = Sprite.new
@sprite1.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("Intro-1")
@sprite1.opacity = 0

# Update graphics and input
Graphics.transition
loop do
   Graphics.update
   Input.update
   update
   if $scene != self
     break
   end
end

# Discard your graphics when you leave this scene
Graphics.freeze
@sprite1.dispose

end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ● Update the contents in this scene
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

def update

   # If SPACEBAR is pressed, go to to title screen
   if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      $scene = Scene_Title.new
   end

   # Change the opacity of the graphics
   transition

   # Update graphics
   @sprite1.update

end

#--------------------------------------------------------------
# Transition through splash screens
#--------------------------------------------------------------
def transition

      # Fade in a splashscreen
      if @show == true
         @n += 2
         if @n > 255
           @hide = true
           @show = false
           @n = 255
         end
       end

      # Fade out a splashscreen and load the next one
      if @hide == true
         @n -= 2
         if @n < 0
           @hide = false
           @show = true
           @splash_numb -= 1
           @n = 0
         end
       end

      # Choose which action to perform in this scene
      case @splash_numb
        when 0
          $scene = Scene_Title.new
        when 1
          @sprite1.opacity = @n
      end

end

end

slightly modified. Will center each picture. (added lines 25-26, 31-32)

You know, I realized that the RPG Maker XP engine did not have a default method of an opening. You can't have a game without some type of opening showing the personal symbol or signature of the game creator! But this script solved all of that! Much obliged!

Is there any way to display the splash for longer? It just kind of fades out as soon as it appears.

Night_Runner

May 27 2010, 03:13 AM

@> gyashinero: Welcome to the forums

To put a pause in, somewhere about the middle of the code there's a snippet that reads:

CODE

      # Fade in a splashscreen
      if @show == true
         @n += 2
         if @n > 255
           @hide = true
           @show = false
           @n = 255
         end
       end

Change that to read:

CODE

      # Fade in a splashscreen
      if @show == true
         @n += 2
         if @n > 255
           # This is at full opacity, so we'll put a pause in!
           for i in 0..40      # For 40 frames
             Graphics.update    # Update the grahics (basically a pause)
           end
           @hide = true
           @show = false
           @n = 255
         end
       end

If you prefer to work in seconds instead of frames, change the 40 to 3 * Graphics.frame_rate which'll make it last 3 seconds

Question: Is it possible to have it play an SE or ME for each title?

Night_Runner

Feb 6 2011, 02:37 PM

Answer: Yes; it is possible.

At the end of the script you'll find the code:

CODE

      # Choose which action to perform in this scene
      case @splash_numb
        when 0
          $scene = Scene_Title.new
        when 1
          @sprite2.opacity = @n
        when 2
          @sprite1.opacity = @n
      end

What you can do is edit this to read as follows:

CODE

      # Choose which action to perform in this scene
      case @splash_numb
        when 0
          $scene = Scene_Title.new
          Audio.me_stop
        when 1
          @sprite2.opacity = @n
          Audio.me_play("Audio/ME/Intro2Melody", 100, 100) if @n == 2 and @show
        when 2
          @sprite1.opacity = @n
          Audio.me_play("Audio/ME/Intro1Melody", 100, 100) if @n == 2 and @show
      end

Where "Audio/ME/Intro2Melody" is the melody you're trying to play, the first 100 is the volume, and the second 100 is the pitch

When you say "Add Script Above Main" what does that mean exactly In the "Main" script of in the script above main? (Sorry noob to the scripting thing)

Night_Runner

Jun 18 2011, 10:57 PM

In the script editor, along the left, scroll all the way to the bottom, and there is a space labeled Main. Right click on that main, select Insert, and paste the code on the right

Don't worry about being a noob scripter, I've heard that question more times than I can think of

I'm also receiving this error message when I try to play game with your script. Do you know how to correct?

Night_Runner

Sep 8 2011, 11:44 PM

Data/System.rxdata is a very critical file for your game....
Do you have any other scripts in your game that effect the title screen (please provide links)?

I'm having the same problem where it can't find System.rxdata as well I looked and it is there I'm using Rafidelis Title X - Version 2.0 as my title screen does any one know a solution?

Night_Runner

Nov 26 2011, 05:14 AM

Would you be able to upload a demo of your game please?

I should point out that the copy of the Title X Script that I found was for RPG Maker VX, and this script is under the XP section...

( Although it looks like all you would have to do is to change the line

CODE

$data_system = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")

CODE

$data_system = load_data("Data/System.rvdata")

and it should translate to VX. )

Well now I feel like a idiot...

Thanks for your help I found a different one which I like better. I should of looked to see if it was for vx or xp.
