Hi fellow RPG makers.

I have a question.

Is it possible to create a chapter system as well as a chapter select screen on the homepage?

For example, I want mine to be similar to the one in Corpse Party

You'd need like a script to do that. Like a really special script...for your game specifically

Not real hard for a competent scripter if you can access every chapter from the moment you boot the game... somewhat more complex (but still feasible) if you need to "unlock" the chapters by reaching them in the main story.  You should make a post in RGSS3 Script Requests and explain exactly what you want, preferably with a mockup screenshot.

Walking you through the steps of making a Script can be difficult (not to mention time consuming) if you have no idea of programming or more specifically the Ruby language. Though you did say you aren't the best at programming so I assume that means you have some idea.

Unless you are willing to take the time to go through tutorials and read up on Ruby and Scripting in RPG Maker so you can write scripts yourself, your best bets are to 1) Hire someone to script it for you. 2) Find a Script that suits your needs or comes close to it. 3) Be flexible with your ideas if you can't find exactly what you are looking for.

Your idea sounds like a good one, don't give up. Good luck to you!

You can use events to create the chapter selection screen.


Here's an example of a character selection screen created using only events:




You can do the same for chapters.

Because the request was for the Chapter Selection to be available on the title screen ("homepage") and you can't event things on the title screen.

Just use a script to skip the title screen and make your own chapter selection screen instead of the title screen. Try this neat little tutorial and use Tsukihime's idea with it. Youll have a really awesome chapter selection screen in no time!

Tsukihime, is there a set of events and/or a demo that I could use to see how these selection screens work?

I've done something kind of like this with my teleport room. I start the player in a map, and they can select which chapter to teleport to. You just have to make sure to set all variables to whatever they need to be (and equipment and levels and such), but otherwise it works well.
