Skip title screen script > unable to use same image number

[Hisao Shou]

I'm using a skip title screen script, I'm showing 2 images at the beggining then transfer player to the real "start game" map, but when I try to use the same image number which was used "at the beggining" , it won't show. Any other number works, but those two numbers which images at the begginig used, won't work.
I tried other skip title scripts too, but it happens the same.

What can I do?

This is the script I'm using:

#==============================================================================
# Skip Title Screen                                           JV Master Script
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Skip Title Screen, going to first game map.
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# Scene Title
#==============================================================================
class Scene_Title < Scene_Base
  def start
    SceneManager.clear
    Graphics.freeze
    DataManager.setup_new_game
    $game_map.autoplay
    SceneManager.goto(Scene_Map)
  end
 
  def terminate
    SceneManager.snapshot_for_background
    Graphics.fadeout(Graphics.frame_rate)
  end
end
#==============================================================================

It probably has nothing to do with the script. The normal flow of images is
show picture
move picture
move picture
erase picture

Did you do the erase part?

Image numbers can be reused, and they only work until the picture is erased. If the script automatically erased those two images after it completes its tasks, you'll need to make a new show picture reusing the number to assign it again.

 

[Hisao Shou]

Yes , I have the Erase Picture command, even twice. Erase picture 1/2 after start map is over, and erase picture 1/2 when the new map starts to be sure they're deleted.
Yet, when I'm using show picture, numbers of picture 1/2 are not usable/visible anymore. This happens only when I use this script, before this script (and other skip-titlte scripts) everything was working normally.

 

[Roninator2]

Give us some screen shots of the events. It's not the script. Might be another script causing issues. What other scripts do you have?

But it is also very weird as that is the editor not the game. Why would the editor stop you from using 1. it's the default choice when showing picture

 

[Hisao Shou]

I think I have found the "culpit".
It was MOG's picture effects.
Can someone look over it please?

Here is his script:

 

[Roninator2]

Ok so what are your event commands for showing the pictures? Because like I was trying to say the editor will not stop you from selected 1. It actually will give you 1 by default. Having this script in a test game causes an issue that is not your problem. I can show 1000 pictures all set to id of 1 and it works.
Testing this script with the default example works fine. I showed a picture twice with the same id.

 

[Hisao Shou]

Ok, there is something really strange with these scripts happening in my game, even in my test project.
So, if I use these scripts both together , after transfer map, when I'm trying to show picture 1/2 for first time, it will not work. But second time it will work.
Not sure why this happens, but happens only when these scripts are both together.

Here is a test project to see for yourself:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-3DGSz82qbEZ3ZRZUltbVE5bms

First pictures 1 and 2 at the beginning > transfer map > picture 1 and 2 will not show first time, but if you open them second time (after first time disappear) they will work

@Hisao Shou we don't need your project - what we need to see to help you is a screenshot of the event where you try to use the pictures.
That has been asked for several times already - if you don't know how to do screenshots or how to attach them, just say so and we'll guide you through that.

 

[Roninator2]

The location of the erase pictures was wrong. Placing them inside the choices menu isolates them.

You also don't need to make this on two tabs. the one is fine.

Also from your demo if you talk to the girl and show picture 1, then repeat the image will work because it is able to process the command correctly since the picture is finally erased.

 

[Hisao Shou]

What if there would be nested conditional branches on a autorun event?
If I put Erase Picture outside the conditional branch, it will delete the picture again and again because it is put on autorun.
Also, why is that without script it works fine, but with it is not?

 

[Roninator2]

I do not have the technical knowledge to tell you why it works without the script. But I would say that the script causes the choices function to behave differently. I've experienced it myself on different things. Adding in waits or moving parts around to find a method that works.
You only have autorun typically if you are doing something once or for a event that will happen every time the player enters that area. But it has to have an ending so erase event is usually used if it is to be repeated and self switch if it never happens again.

What if there would be nested conditional branches on a autorun event?
If I put Erase Picture outside the conditional branch, it will delete the picture again and again because it is put on autorun.

It is up to you to find methods that work for your eventing.

 

[Hisao Shou]

I need autorun to show the images I need. On the original event I'm using these scripts for a custom made start screen made with images.
So I'm not using any choices for that, only conditional branches.

I've been trying almost everything, from moving that conditional branch on another event page, to removing some other event commands or adding more images...
As long these two scripts are present, it will not work.

 

[Roninator2]

So are you using something like what this guy did? If not look at it. it should help.

 

[Hisao Shou]

It didn't work , BUT , I've been playing with Picture Effects scripts a little and I made it work somehow.
I need someone to tell me if this will make the game crash though... I mean, in what conditions it will crash, or what would happen?

What I did was to delete 2 code lines:

# ■ Game Interpreter
#==============================================================================
class Game_Interpreter

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● Set Pictures
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def set_pictures
      return $game_troop.screen.pictures if SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_Battle)
  #This Line ->    return $game_map.screen.pictures if SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_Map)
  end

and

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● Clear Picture Position
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def clear_picture_position
      pictures = $game_troop.screen.pictures if SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_Battle)
# This line ->      pictures = $game_map.screen.pictures if SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_Map)
      return if pictures == nil
      pictures.each {|p|
      p.position = [-1000,nil,0,0] if p.position[0] > 0 or p.position[1] == nil}   
  end
 
end

Not sure what they did though, I'm not good with programming.
