I'm going to put this topic here because I have no idea where to even put this question. i'll leave it for the moderators to decide.

Anyway, onto the question. Now, y'know how in certain games where before you even hit the Start button, if you let the game run a bit, it will show some previews of the game. Thing like Chrono Trigger that show very small cutscenes very quickly or Final Fantasy that give you a brief rundown of what is going on.

I would like to do something like that along those lines.

Inside the update loop of Scene_Title run a variable that increases by 1 each tick. If it reaches X, call a function that plays video (search for "Play movie" inside rpg_objects.js)

Well I do have a plugin if you're looking for old school JRPG-ish opening. You could record you opening scene as a video and use it with my plugin.e

EDIT: Go to 7:10 to have a preview of what the plugin will do.

Thanks. I'll save this thread for when I'm actually ready to make the video. I just wanted to know how to do it.

Mushroom Cake: That's before you even reach the Title Screen. I'm talking about having the Screen pop up, sit there for a bit and then play cutscenes of the game. I have HIME Pre Title Screen Plugin, which lets me drop a few logos before the title screen pops up. I thank you though for your explanation.

P.S. I think I played your game for IGMC at some point.

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
