Is there a "Loop Map" type of function in XP? [Resolved]

I'd like to be able to make a map that loops (leave one side, reappear at the other. Think Yume Nikki). Is there some function that lets you do this without scripts? Using a teleport to move you back to the start was too choppy-looking. I'm looking for a simple walk-and-the-map-loops type thing.

I'm willing to use a script if I have to, but I didn't see any that fit the bill (I looked through about 5-7 pages of scripts in various parts of the forum + googled around. One looked promising, but it had way to many extra features that I don't wanna mess with/edit out and wreck.)

EDIT: Thanks KRoP and everyone who commented!

I have a question,
when you tried with teleports did you uncheck black out screen?

I had fading turned off, if that's what you mean. It just looks really jerky when that happens, and I'd rather have it be a smooth scrolling transition type thing. Also, I'm afraid that having so many events around my map would cause problems

The only way is to use a script, though the script is pretty plug-and-play.
I'm not sure what "plug-and-play" means (oh god I am bad at gaming terms) but as long as it works I don't think I'd mind all to much.
 
I never tried without fading so didn't know...
You can avoid lag with an anti-lag script but otherwise there's no way to help that

A script will be needed for this,
and what wyatt means by plug-and-play is that you paste it above main and forget about it

Anyway I take a search in RGSS scripts later,
Right now I have to do FCAT Explorer >.<

Well, that seems like the kind of thing I need, as long as I can choose which maps are and aren't looped.

This index contains all of Rataime's scripts, credit him. See "wrap around demo" or something with a similar name for the looping you're searching for.

OH! This is exactly the effect I was looking for! Thank you very much!
 
My apologies, I made a slight error. The scripts in the directory are by various sources other than Rataime; the "wrap around map" script, for example, is by Dirtie. Just a small fix as to who to credit. ;o
