Skip Title Script
Version 2.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 21/04/2008

Introduction
This script will skip the Title Screen to Map when game start,
I script this to make VX possible to make game's intro by event before Title Screen.

Features
Version 1.0
- Set Map_ID/X/Y of Location
- Set Party Members when skip Title (or) Use Default Start Members from Database

Demo
You can download demo that shows how this script works with intro made by events.
Click to view attachment << Version 1.0 Demo

Script
Place it above main.
Version 2.0
Click to view attachment

Click to view attachment << Version 1.0

Instruction
After placed script, go to Main in Script Editor and find the line:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Title.new

replace it with

CODE

$scene = Skip_Title.new

You can set start location by edit these lines:

CODE

MAP_ID = 2
START_XY = [8,7]
START_MEMBER = [1,2,3]

MAP_ID = ID of Map
START_XY = [X,Y] of Start Location
START_MEMBER = [id of actor in database,id of other actor in database,...]
^ For example, START_MEMBER = [2,4,5,8] will add the actors id 2,4,5,8 from database in the party.

If you want to use Start Party Members that you set in database, use START_MEMBER = 0

Nice. After the introduction, does it return to the title screen, or does the title screen show up after you reset the game and have seen the introduction?

Also, some people have wanted some splash screens before the title screen appears. Will this script allow that?

Apologies for the stupid questions... My PC is really slow at the moment and I can't try this out.

Jan 31 2008, 07:07 AM

You mean if this will skip the Splash Screens too?

woratana

Jan 31 2008, 11:53 AM

You can use this to move player to map that there's splash screen. (If you made splash screen by event)

And make the event in that map to check if player press the right button, use call script

CODE

$scene = $Scene_Title.new

will move player to the title screen.

edit:
I forgot that there's event command that will send player to title screen too =_____=~

so you don't have to use that call script >_<~

Does this work for Xp too?

Demo Uploaded!
You can download demo of this script from the first post

@Kira
No, RMXP and VX Scene has a bit different structure,
I can script XP for you if you want~^^

A question, wora. Is there any possibility to add something like a transparent function? So that the you can't see the hero when skipping the title? I know theres a eventfunction which do this..but it's slower than the script.

woratana

Feb 5 2008, 04:11 PM

You may add no member in party when game start,
so you will not see any player character unless you use event command to add actor.

If you want to use script, call script like this:

CODE

$game_player.transparent = true/false

true to make player transparent
false to make player non-transparent

Dainreth

Feb 6 2008, 02:27 AM

Ah, that's the way I should do this..thanks wora!
I really should learn RGSS it seems that it isn't so difficult

Woratana, this one is really good.
I have two questions:
If I set a video(using BGM), can I get it stop replaying over and over again?
And, two windows (the Active Movie one) appears, but only one plays the video, is there a way to block the wrong one?

woratana

Feb 11 2008, 07:05 PM

Umh, I don't sure about how video script works.

So I cannot answer your question right now. Sorry about that.

Feb 11 2008, 10:08 PM

Dragooner

Feb 12 2008, 03:54 PM

I've fixed the problem with the video(taked some time), but now I got an error on the line 237 of Game_Play.
Undefined method 'character_name' for:NilClass

maybe it's time to give up on the intro vid.

Can you post the XP version of the script mentioned earlier? I'd really appreciate it.

@Cirka

I can't find it. You may want to ask Kira for that

Ok. Thanks anyway. I'll PM Kira about it.

Here you go~

Add this above main:

    $game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
    $game_variables     = Game_Variables.new
    $game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new
    $game_screen        = Game_Screen.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.

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

Mar 23 2008, 07:39 PM

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.

QUOTE

$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

Mar 23 2008, 08:03 PM

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

Mar 24 2008, 06:12 AM

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.

jjgriff93

Mar 26 2008, 01:53 PM

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

Mar 26 2008, 04:54 PM

Show me what did you put in there.

The actor ID is start from 1.

Apr 2 2008, 10:01 AM

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

Apr 2 2008, 10:10 AM

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

Apr 2 2008, 11:10 AM

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

Apr 2 2008, 05:09 PM

@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

Really Good script though!

jjgriff93

Apr 15 2008, 02:14 PM

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!

Apr 16 2008, 04:02 PM

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

Apr 20 2008, 11:29 AM

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

Apr 20 2008, 11:46 AM

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.

woratana

Apr 21 2008, 01:26 PM

Updated to Version 2.0!!!

- Shorter code
- Compatible with other script that change Scene_Title

Xirdneh

Apr 21 2008, 02:15 PM

This is awesome because after I tell it where to skip to I can have an event randomly send it somewhere else so now it's random skip title screen! How hard would it be to make the title menu box pop up while you watch the intro scenes? One more thing I'm curious about Woratana, anyway of skipping GameOver screen? You know how in World of Warcraft when you die, you're a ghost in a graveyard and you have to go back to your body. I'm trying to do something like that. When I look at some of your scripts I already have plus the regular ones everything I try comes up short...

Anyway, nice script can't wait for more. You make me want to learn scripting but, time, ya know.

woratana

Apr 21 2008, 04:56 PM

Yeah, time, it make me stop scripting...

Anyway, these script may fit your need~

Map Story Title:
http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=466
(Show title menu command on map)

And for game over, you may want to try 'Gameover -> Common Event'

EDIT: Game Over Link doesnt work..

2nd Edit: Ok, I tried a few hours later and now it works..

jjgriff93

Apr 22 2008, 11:46 AM

hi Woratana me again!
I was wondering if you knew the peice of code that clears all states, bcus in the gameover script i'm making, it has a continue option that uses a common event to determine where you go back to. That works fine, but as soon as it loads the map, it goes back to the gameover scene. I think it's bcus the death state keeps doing it. Cheers!

I'll probably post the script soon if I can get it working!

woratana

Apr 22 2008, 01:05 PM

I think you can just use event command to recover all member's HP

jjgriff93

Apr 22 2008, 01:10 PM

yeah, I thought that but for some reason, it still keeps happening

RPGXP is so annoying!!

Ok this is a really good script for what I'm trying to do. So thanks. But when I use Sound Spawn's Movie script for an intro movie. It doesnt work how I want it to.
I use this script to skip the title screen. And I use the Movie script to have a movie play. Once the movie is done I try and make start the title screen but the Active movie window opens up, you have to close it in order for the title screen to pop up.

This is annoying and but I dont know how to fix it.

Thought maybe someone could help.
