Change Title Graphic based on Game Progress

[MeowFace]

Made for a request here.

This script is meant for games with only 1 save slot.

It reads from the 1st save slot in the game to decide whether or not to change the title's graphic.

Handy for those who wish to change their title graphic based on game progress the player is currently on.

For those who are interested in the single file save system. You can find my script for it here.

Features:

Change title graphic using based on save file check point.

How to Use:

[1] Paste this script below Material and above Main.

[2] Set up the graphic and sound to use in the SETTINGS AREA
[3] Use this script call in game to set the check point

init_change_title(n)where n = true or false

eg.

init_change_title(true)

Compatibility:

This script overwrites the title scene's create background method and play bgm method.

If you have custom scripts overwriting these, there can be conflicts.

Terms of Use:

Free for both commercial and non-commercial.

Due to the V3 to V4 forum update, i am leaving the top post as is until they have a fix for the code part.


Please use this alternative version in the meantime: (it's the same as the top post, just not messed up in format)

Trying to use this in a project where the last ending achieved changes the title screen image to a picture relating to that ending. 
The problem is that there are 4 endings and it seems like this awesome script is set up to only support changing between one image and another, so it's either one thing or the other thing.



I think it would be possible for it to support more than 1 other Title image if instead of using a true/false scriptcall, it used the value of a set variable. 
Like, instead of: True=on, False=off 
maybe have it be like: if variable101 = 2 use image2; if variable101 = 3 use image3, etc...


I've been tearing my hair out trying to edit this in myself, but alas I am a moron -_-
I really like this script and use it with your other 1-save-only script, so would it be possible for it to support multiple image changes?
