How to delay appearance of Title Screen Menu?

[johnnyuser]

Is there any sort of script or option to do this? I have a logo (via a picture) that fades in after a couple of seconds on the Title Screen, and would like to delay initialization of the start menu to coincide with it. I'm fairly sure it's a simple solution, and I've looked around in various scripts within the game, but can't find anything.

Take a look at this plugin, check if helps:

Thanks for the help anyways. It will come in handy for mv. I'm pretty sure it's as simple as entering a couple lines in a script to delay initialization of the window, but I can't find anything.

Alright, I tried adding "sleep" into the window_titlecommand like this:

class Window_TitleCommand < Window_Command
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Object Initialization
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize
super(0, 0)
sleep 10
update_placement
select_symbolcontinue) if continue_enabled
self.openness = 0
open
end

But when I run the game, it makes the entire opening sleep, so there is a black screen for 10 seconds rather than the opening title and then a 10 second delay before the title command window initializes.

Is there a way to make it apply only to the command window?

I have seen games that skip the title screen and go to a hand made title screen. where you can control the pictures and have it go as slow as you want. Look into making your own title screen.

You could try using the following in the scene itself :

240.times { update }

You could try using the following in the scene itself :

240.times { update }

Would that wait for a universal amount of time or will it depend on the CPU that's running the game?

Basically depends on how many frames are being processed per second. Typically that is 60 in a RPG Maker VXA game. So 240 would be more or less 4 seconds.

Are you creating a custom logo scene, or are you just using Scene_Title to squeeze the logo in? On some of my games I created a custom Scene_Logo that was loaded first, then once the logo faded out I had it go to Scene_Title.

Thanks for all the responses and help!

For anyone in the future, I think I found a fix.... put this in your script under def create_command_window:
@command_window.hide.deactivate #you added this to allow delay of title command

Then, under def update:
if @counter <= 700 #added for title command delay THIS IS HOW LONG TO DELAY TITLECOMMANDWINDOW
@counter +=1 else #aded for delay
@command_window.show.activate #added for delay
end #added for delay

I'm not an expert scripter by any means, but it worked for me, and perhaps this can help someone in the future.

There are several splash screen scripts for Ace similiar to the one for MV accidentally linked above
