Hey there, I want to create a interactive story within VX Ace maybe, but I what the create the things on start up to the games config before the game is started so I will be programming my own launcher so I would like to bypass the title menu I would like to boot a simple image for a few frames then if they have a saved section it will just boot the game from where they was from or if no save it loads the game from the start.

does anyone know how I could do this?

Also I would need the remove the option to return to title menu within the game its self, I have looked at a few game engines what will let me do this

but the VX Ace is the only one that offers a set of resources on top this this might become a winner for me.

There is a script named "Skip Title" or something like that.

Is this a built in script or is this one I will have to add? if its one I have to add do you know where it might be hiding  :D  

I guess this way I would skip the title and the run a standard animation for the perloading logo like Show image or something on them lines.

Thanks for the reply Death10, also please take it as red that I am  N00b at this engine :p

I not able to find a auto load option anywhere, anyone help on this?

I see the DataManager.save_file_exists? to see if the save file is there but I am guessing as the game engine offers more then one save file I would have to 

tell it to load a given save and then load the game from there, anyone got any ideas without adding a full autosave script that I could find a autoload option lol

Thanks for your time and help, I kinda liking the idea of doing my story in this format :)

RMMV
Please search on the master script list (the link is pinned in the Ace script forum), there are several scripts to skip title, to change the title screen and to manage savegames in a different way than the default.

I have looked thought the so called master list and its the most mixed up thing I ever had to deal with lol but I will be giving that another looks again later I got what I wanted with the scripts to enable me to skip the title screen for new users, all this at the moment is just testing the waters anyway the platform does look like the one I will opt for but still test test test :)

But when I ask in my own topic about something I rather have a direct reply not go read else where, many members might not look about but I do and I don't want to be redircted ever post I read and this is what happens here.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
