How do you start on a map without using the Start here command?

[Firestalker5]

I know the title is a little long, but how do you start on a map withOUT using the "Start Position" Command?
i know theres a way to do this I''ve seen it before. I just can't seem to find it now.

Simply put, all you have to do is take the map you want to start on, and name it Map000.rxdata... Though not using the start point can lead to problems...

Isn't there a way to start on a map using a script? Or editting the Main Script?

Actually I just thought of a way I can do it.... I'm going to try it. Be right back.


EDIT: Hey it worked..... Awesome. I guess this question is answered as well.

Under the line

$scene = Scene_Title.new

In Main, add this code:

# Load database
    $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")
    $data_classes       = load_data("Data/Classes.rxdata")
    $data_skills        = load_data("Data/Skills.rxdata")
    $data_items         = load_data("Data/Items.rxdata")
    $data_weapons       = load_data("Data/Weapons.rxdata")
    $data_armors        = load_data("Data/Armors.rxdata")
    $data_enemies       = load_data("Data/Enemies.rxdata")
    $data_troops        = load_data("Data/Troops.rxdata")
    $data_states        = load_data("Data/States.rxdata")
    $data_animations    = load_data("Data/Animations.rxdata")
    $data_tilesets      = load_data("Data/Tilesets.rxdata")
    $data_common_events = load_data("Data/CommonEvents.rxdata")
    $data_system        = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")
    # Make system object
    $game_system = Game_System.new
    # Make title graphic
    @sprite = Sprite.new
    
    $game_temp          = Game_Temp.new
    $game_system        = Game_System.new
    $game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
    $game_variables     = Game_Variables.new
    $game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new
    $game_screen        = Game_Screen.new
    $game_actors        = Game_Actors.new
    $game_party         = Game_Party.new
    $game_troop         = Game_Troop.new
    $game_map           = Game_Map.new
    $game_player        = Game_Player.new
    # Set up initial party
    $game_party.setup_starting_members
    # Set up initial map position
    [B]$game_map.setup(40)[/B]
    # Move player to initial position
    $game_player.moveto(1,1)
    # Refresh player
    $game_player.refresh
    # Run automatic change for BGM and BGS set with map
    $game_map.autoplay
    # Update map (run parallel process event)
    $game_map.update
    # Switch to map screen
    $scene = Scene_Map.new
    end

After you add all this then you just make a map... Make sure you remember the ID number of the map and make an event on it. Now come into the Script Editor agian and put the Map ID in the bold area above.

Now Erase the

$scene = Scene_Title.new

or comment it.

In the event on the map, make sure you call the titlescreen [unless you don't want the titlescreen to appear for some reason].

Enjoy.
