Hi, I'm new here, and I need a lot of help. I am making a game in rpg maker, but I am really stuck. I want to like start of and make something (I don't want to spoil.) and after about four maps, to like start over in a different story... I mean like the intro will be after four maps... but I don't know how to make an intro, can someone please help? after the intro I wan't it to have another menu, where you choose your character's name, it would be awsome if some one can tell me how to do that, and if you can choose it to be a boy or a girl. and at the very begining I want to use "one" type of character.. (sprite) and at the second start, another one... also I want to have BGM but sometimes it doesn't start... also if someone can help me with cutscene or splash screen.. please help.

thanks in advance...

We kind of have to have your game on hand to help...at least I do...

Anywho, you can do all of this easily with events, but as I am useless without it in front of me, I don't really know how to explain it. Hopefully someone else can.

Everything you want is possible. Mess around with the events and you'll get it.

I don't really care.

About toying with events, try creating a separate "test project" which allows you to experiment with event commands. If you also right-click some options it displays some info about what the action does in RMXP. For creating an intro I'll give you a starting hint: try the "Change Screen Color Tone" command in the events editor.

its hard to start without knowing the tools but firlst create a new event in the map, double click the graphic to change the graphic, then double click the @ > stuff to start adding some options, test there, then u will see some options in the main window of the event options that say TRIGGER thats the way this lil event will occur, you can put it automatically with autorun, or set it to player touch meaning that it will trigger if the character touches it, action buttun means that u must get close and press action button to trigger, then autoruns are gonna be helpfull for intros

Mess around with the event editor.

Start off by familiarizing yourself with every one of the events commands, and try useing all of them so that you know what they do.

thanks, but in the intro I mean't like to have the BG black and letters apearing telling a bit from the story...and then the main title....

When there is nothing in the first layer, the background will be black. For text, you can do it with the Show Message command, or create several images with text and slideshow them through events. To have an intro before the main title, you will need a script or something, can't help you with that.

Good Luck.
