Pathfinding and Custom Title Compatibility

[regi]

Hey,
I'm having a bit of a problem with two scripts, one being the Pathfinding v2beta (scroll down and find this spoiler) and the other, a title screen edit that skips the title and goes to the first map, found below.

Spoiler: Scene_Title

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Title
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs title screen processing.
#  It will skip the regular title screen and go to the first map.
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Title
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Main Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def main
    # If battle test
    if $BTEST
      battle_test
      return
    end
    # Load database
    $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")
    $data_classes       = load_data("Data/Classes.rxdata")

    $data_items         = load_data("Data/Items.rxdata")
    $data_weapons       = load_data("Data/Weapons.rxdata")
    $data_armors        = load_data("Data/Armors.rxdata")

    # Set up initial party
    $game_party.setup_starting_members
    # Set up initial map position
    $game_map.setup($data_system.start_map_id)
    # Move player to initial position
    $game_player.moveto($data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y)
    # 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
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Battle Test

  def battle_test
    # Load database (for battle test)
    $data_actors        = load_data("Data/BT_Actors.rxdata")

    $data_system        = load_data("Data/BT_System.rxdata")
    # Reset frame count for measuring play time
    Graphics.frame_count = 0
    # Make each game object
    $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 party for battle test
    $game_party.setup_battle_test_members
    # Set troop ID, can escape flag, and battleback
    $game_temp.battle_troop_id = $data_system.test_troop_id
    $game_temp.battle_can_escape = true
    $game_map.battleback_name = $data_system.battleback_name
    # Play battle start SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.battle_start_se)
    # Play battle BGM
    $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.battle_bgm)
    # Switch to battle screen
    $scene = Scene_Battle.new
  end
end

The problem is, when I play the game it crashes with a message undefined method `update' for class `Scene_Title'.
The line it referred was in the Pathfinding script, the second line (alias) here:

class Scene_Title
  alias pf_scene_title_update update
  def update
    #set the pathfinding class as a callable class
    $path_finding = Path_Finding.new
    pf_scene_title_update
  end
end

It'd be great if someone could identify and fix the problem. Thanks!

You probably replaced the old default code of Scene_Title with the one you posted here yes? That's why you have an error about a non existent update method. I wonder why he used the update method to instantiate a Path_Finding object. You could try to alias main instead.

class Scene_Title
  alias pf_scene_title_main main
  def main
    #set the pathfinding class as a callable class
    $path_finding = Path_Finding.new
    pf_scene_title_main
  end
end

Good luck with it Regi! :thumb:

Heh really? I've been using that a lot in General Support too. Okay, let's share it for the mega ultrazord powahs!
