Animated Main Menu Script

[BaskyBadger]

I'm a staff member of a game and the creator wanted me to find out if there was any way I could make an animated main menu. It's supposed to look like the players front yard with a 2 NPCs (the player and his younger brother) wandering around. Any way I could do that?

there are several ways depending on what you want, but you'll need scripts to do that.

I know of a script that allows you to use animated effects on the title screen and of another that allows you to use a map (with or without cutscene) as the title screen background.

Both scripts (and a few more variants) should be available on the master script list.

You'll find the master script list either through the link in my signature or pinned in the ace script forum.

I'm the boss of the game itself- could you link me directly to the map one you mentioned? You never gave the script names...

Sorry, I didn't give the names because I don't remember them, and currently don't have the time to search for them.

About two months ago I took the time (two or three afternoons) to check each and every script in the entire master script list, and in a lot of cases (where I wasn't interested in the script myself) I only remember that there was something that had that feature, but not the name or from whom it was.

I think the map one was also linked on this forum with a topic, but I'm not sure about that - you'll have to search for it yourself, sorry.

look up  nicke's animated menu

that slides the in game menu in and out sorta

or

are you looking for a title scene?

if so just use a map as title scene script.

Not sure what you meant, ShinGamix, so I'll be unreasonably clear. When you turn the game on, the menu opens. There are three options be default, start, exit, and continue. I want the background to be the player and this younger brother wandering around in their hometown. So the main menu =P

ShinGamix, how can we set a map as a title screen?

This must be what you're looking for.

Map as Title Screen

That title screen can also use Yami’s Title Decorate Script for an extra effect.
