[ShinGamix]

If it does everything it says it will be epic!

(Trying it out right now!)

tried it out and worked great!! Nice job!

 

[vindaca]

@ ShinGamix
Looks great. I love the Screen shot.

I just posted v0.4 and fixed a few bugs and added alot of new features, so I thought I should just change the name too. Anywho...
Hope you all enjoy.

-- Wow.... Fur reals... no complaints???

 

[ShinGamix]

your script code above looks horrible. What happened?

 

[vindaca]

It's fixed.

How do I get it to modify just the title screen? I turned everything off, but I have an issue with this part

 Affect_Window_Boarders            = true
  Window_Opacity                    = 0

It makes my title screen work great, but it removes the borders to my in game menu screen.

I am using Galvs custom menu if that helps any.

 

[vindaca]

I would say that if you only want this script for the title screen, then you shoud think about just using my newest script V's CATS It can do the same thing and way more.  If you are using it for more then that let me know exactly what parts and I can help you out.

 

[MultipedMoss595]

Yeah I just want it for the title screen. I will try out the script you suggested and let you know if it works.

Edit:

I don't understand how to use that script to make my title screen look the way it does in this picture. It seems the other script uses predefined pictures for new game etc? Or maybe it is just something I am not understanding?

Any help would be appreciated. Here is the what I am trying to make the title screen look.

I PM'd you with you anwser and btw that is a great title pic. Not sure how you have it layered but you should use the fade in and out animation with the rays.

 

[MultipedMoss595]

Thanks! The image was one I found, and the title screen name was created by Julius Lioncourt. I think he used gimp. I am not sure, I'm not really a graphics person.

 

[ninjalex]

Looks interesting. Gonna give it a try soon

 

[vindaca]

Thank you, I've been kinda MIA(Baby on the way and all.) This is my first script so it's very sloppy an in much need of a makeover.

How come the music resets when you select a submenu? Is there any way around this?

 

[vindaca]

I'll have to take a look at it but I'll see what I can do.

 

[Black Vodka]

I'll have to take a look at it but I'll see what I can do.

Other than that, it's a great script. The only other issue I seem to have is the game crashes when you select Quit from the in-game menus, and then press ESC to cancel. The error code is:

Script 'Sprite_Base' line 33: RGSSError occured.

disposed sprite.

Line 33 of 'Sprite_Base' is: "super"

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Frame Update

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def update

    super

    update_animation

    @@ani_checker.clear

    @@ani_spr_checker.clear

  end

 

Any ideas how to fix that as well?

 

I believe it's an issue that began to occur after I installed your script.

 

[vindaca]

I believe it's an issue that began to occur after I installed your script.

 Can you check that for sure?

And about the music, sorry but, there is no easy fix. I will be putting out a new menu system soon, I hope it can fix this issue for you.

 

[Black Vodka]

 Can you check that for sure?

I'll check that ASAP. Right now, Steam is giving me some troubles, and I can't log on.

And about the music, sorry but, there is no easy fix. I will be putting out a new menu system soon, I hope it can fix this issue for you.

I'll be looking forward to that new menu system, too! It's a minor issue, but the music changing so rapidly as you navigate submenus is kind of offputting.

EDIT: The issue I mentioned earlier (disposed sprite) with your script: It's an issue with Yanfly's menu cursor script, in fact. Sorry about that

SECOND EDIT: My only other suggestion for a quick edit to this script, one I could use. Could you possibly replicate the horizontal menu orientation of the main menu with the "To Title" / "To Desktop" / "Cancel" submenu?

Yeah I can add that in there for you.

When I use V's Awesome Options v1.4, I notice one thing that I can't figure out to fix. I have isolated this problem which I believe is caused by this script. When I load a saved game, the menu music is still playing, instead of the music I selected for that current map.

How can I fix this?

I've tried numerous ideas and even searched hard on internet.

This was my last option.

Please Help!!! 

 

[bgillisp]

He will have to add a patch to fix that, as the way RPG Maker is set up, it saves to the save file the music currently playing, which in your case is the menu music. It can be fixed with a patch to revert the music back to the map music before you save, but the script author will have to add that in.
