Generic Credits Script

[brainstorm]

Alright while scripting I found an easy way to make a cool looking Credits Script that looks like it's part of the title graphic. Look at in in action...

Spoiler: FAQ

To fix this error go to the original Scene_Title and add this after line 43 :"@scroll_window = Window_Scroll.new"

Spoiler: Adding Credits

To add credits to the script all you have to do is find the part of the script that says:

 

#PUT Credits HERE

@credits = Hash.new("")

@credits[0] = "~Script by:"

@credits[1] = "SASUKE89"

 

After :"@credits[1] = "SASUKE89"" add a new line and insert :"@credits[Following #] = "Credits Name"". Where "Following #" is put the number that follows the credit number thats on the line before the line you are on.

Spoiler: Changing Font Settings

Does that current font clash with your title graphic? Here's your tutorial on how to fix that.

To change the font size find the following line :"self.contents.font.size =" and change the number that follows.
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(38,38,38)
self.contents.font.size = 12
self.contents.font.name = 'PT Taj Mahal'

To change the font color find the following line :"self.contents.font.color = Color.new" and change the three numbers that follow. To find a new color go in Paint or any other photo editing software and copy the Red Green and Blue values and put them in the script.

To change the font find the following line :"self.contents.font.name = " and change the name of the font that follows

this has been done i beilve already on CA. I am not sure. But good job anyways.

Yeah... like I said it is generic. It's likely for it to have been done all ready.

this script doesn't seem to do anything.... I want to get it working first, but then i'm gonna have it run in my Scene_Gameover...

does anyone know how to get the credits to actually show?

Never mind, the default font color was the same as my background, i feel like an idiot.
