Background picture display in LoadGame menu.

[saikyo765]

Hey there. I'm not so sure how hard this is to do but this would be a big help. My window skin is pretty much clear except for the cursor. So when I go to the loadgame menu at the title, the background is all black. I just want to know if there is a way to make it display a background picture from the pictures folder. We will call this picture "loadgame.png" for now. Or even another way would be to display a map with a panorama in the back.

Engine: Rpg Maker XP

I am trying to be as detailed as possible but I think that is all that is really needed to know
But if this is not enough information please let me know.

Just to be clear, I don't want the windowskin to be a picture. But I want a picture showing up in the background.


Thank you!

Hahahah! It's your lucky day! I love making CMS (Custom Menu scripts) and I have a ton of expiriance with this kind of stuff. Give me ONEEEEE second! BRB

VOILA! Here it is! In the script look down a few lines till you see "YOUR PICTURE" in pink! Here type in the name of the picture. Then put that picture in your title folder in your project data. And there you go! It will display the picture in the back when every you go to $Scene_Load or for non scripters the load screen.

Hope this helps! It should be error free but tell me how it works. I've made quick scripts like this before that have had an error here and an error there... So just test it and tell me how it goes!
