How Do I Change the Settings For The First Screen?

As well, I would like to know how I would add an actual character sprite to the game. Like, I have the character created, but I want the character to show up on the screen before you talk to them to have them join your party. How do I do this?

Sorry? Could you explain what you mean by this? Make your question clearer. What character, on what screen.

What's the "First Screen"?

I'm assuming you want a different background or music for the title screen? If so, go to "Database->System" and change the "Title BGM" or "Title Background" to whatever you want.

And to have a character show up on the screen before joining your party, make a map event with the character's graphic. Under the commands, use "Show Message" and have him say something to you, then use the "Change Party Members" to add him to your party. After that, use "Control Self-Switch A = On."

Now, click on "Create New Page" at the top of the event and then check Conditions "If Self-Switch A is On." Leave the page blank. This is to ensure that you can't talk to the character twice and have him join your party more than once.

Hope that wasn't too confusing.

For the character part, you know in games such as Pokemon and the likes, while you're walking around, you can see the characters walking around too. I want to have a character that is like that, except stands still.

And when they join the party, how will I make them disappear?

The First Screen is the screen where you see "Continue", "New Game", etc.


EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm on VX.

I can change the Title BGM but not the background.

I use VX, so I don't know if your instructions work. o.O

VX Event editor is almost completely unchanged to the XP one. As for the title screen, do what Regimos said, It works.

Actually, for the title screen, you have to name the file Title and upload it under the system file.  This will change the title screen.

What Guardian said (my above method only works in XP).

And when they join the party, how will I make them disappear?

After turning on a self-switch, and making a new blank page with the self-switch condition on, the character will disappear.
See my above message for help, although some words might be different since you're using VX.
