Black map and Splash screen

My question first:

In Scene_Title, what would I do to make the first map (ONLY when you press 'New Game') have a screen color tone of black to start? If you use the change scene color tone at 0, you still get a brief glance at the map first.

My request:

Can somebody find or make me a simple splash script that you simply edit in the name of the picture from the 'Pictures' folder to make it pop up for X frames before the title? I was having problems with a different splash script, so I'd like it to be compatible with Mr Mo's SBABS (which also means some other scripts plus the SDK v2.0).
 
Paste the following right below the Graphics.freeze in the main method. (line 82)

Code:
    ## set screen to black
    tone = Tone.new(-255, -255, -255)
    $game_screen.start_tone_change(tone, 0)

Then us a Change Screen Color Tone: (0,0,0,0) event command to set it back to normal.
 
Thanks. Now I just need that splash script...
The only problem is that it isn't working ._.

Edit: Nevermind, it does work. I put it in Scene_Title when I was using a different script for the title, so it obviously wouldn't work :P
 
No worries. It happens. :scruff:

I've seen several splash screen scripts out there, but haven't used any of them.
If you find one you like, and want help integrating it, post a link to it.

Be Well
 
Usually integrating it isn't the problem. It's just, it seems that all of my scripts need to go in between the SDK v2.0 and Mr Mo's SBABS (except Ccoa's UMS for some reason). The problem was that the splash script I had was a rewrite of 'Main'. I need the splash script to be independent of other scripts.

I haven't found one anyway :P
