Professional Title Screen + weather effects?

Latest Post

So I'm using the Professional Title Screen V2.0 English translation, released by Sonicia, and I'm wondering how I would add rain effects (default RTP rain) to it. From what little I know of scripting, it should be fairly easy to implement, correct?

Script:
Code: 
=begin

=========================================

Professional Title Screen ver. 2.0 English Translation

Script by パラ犬, Edited by Kio !! :D

[url=http://rpg.para.s3p.net/]http://rpg.para.s3p.net/[/url]

-->Released and translated by Sonicia.

Search for my name (Sonicia)for the customizing place where you can arange the 

graphics where you want them. Please credit Kio, who orginally made this script

compatable, and me for translating, releasing, and finding out how to use it.

Note, in a few rare spots there is still Japanese, since it was code I didnt

change it for fear of messing it up. All comments are translated by Sonicia.

 

Note: you need continue.png, continue_active.png, newgame.png,

newgame_active.png, shutdown.png, and shutdown_active.png in your game's

graphics\title folder. The graphics must be the same size, both active and inactive.

This means that if you have an arrow or text make that one first, duplicate, 

then erase the arrow and edit the rest of the picture or it will be set off.

Customize the location and the graphics make sure you change

only the numbers, 250 is approxamtely the center of

the vertical screen.

Make sure that the command pictures are in the “Graphics/Titles” folder

make a new page above the 'Title Screen V2.0 script'
and paste this:
[rgss]class Window_Weather < Window_Base
 
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 640, 480)
    @viewport1 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 640, 480)
    @viewport1.z = 5000
    self.opacity = 0
    $game_temp = Game_Temp.new
    $game_screen = Game_Screen.new
    $game_screen.weather(1,5,200)
    @weather = RPG::Weather.new(@viewport1)
  end
 
  def update
    super
    $game_screen.update
    @weather.type = $game_screen.weather_type
    @weather.max = $game_screen.weather_max
    @weather.ox = 0 #$game_map.display_x / 4
    @weather.oy = 0 #$game_map.display_y / 4
    @weather.update
  end
 
end
[/rgss]

Then, add this in line 135:
@window = Window_Weather.new

and this in line 256:
@window.update

That's weird. I tested my script before I posted and double-checked now. I don't get syntax error. Seems like the error is from some other script. Search the script editor for for pages with no name, as it says script ' '. try naming them all, so you can track which one is it.

It's because he tried inserting the script without taking the LineNumber Off.

@Nickster, Click LineNumber OFF before copying the script into the script editor, all those red numbers will just give you a syntax error.

so there's a slight problem, I'm using the animate save file as well, and when i go from title screen to "continue" the rain freezes. then when i go right back to the title screen, its still frozen but new rain just goes right over the top of it. Any idea's on that?

You're right. Apparently the weather needs to be disposed too.
In a new page, paste this :
[rgss]class Window_Weather < Window_Base
 
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 640, 480)
    @viewport1 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 640, 480)
    @viewport1.z = 5000
    #self.opacity = 50
    $game_temp = Game_Temp.new
    $game_screen = Game_Screen.new
    $game_screen.weather(1,5,200)
    @weather = RPG::Weather.new(@viewport1)
  end
 
  def update
    super
    $game_screen.update
    @weather.type = $game_screen.weather_type
    @weather.max = $game_screen.weather_max
    @weather.ox = 0
    @weather.oy = 0
    @weather.update
  end
 
  def dispose
    $game_screen.weather(0, 0, 20)
    @weather.dispose
    super
  end
 
end
[/rgss]

in line 135, add: @window = Window_Weather.new

in line 256, add: @window.update

in line 246, add: @window.dispose

If anyone wants weather with the default Title screen, here's the code (new page, above main)
[rgss] 
class Window_Weather < Window_Base
 
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 640, 480)
    @viewport1 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 640, 480)
    @viewport1.z = 5000
    #self.opacity = 50
    $game_temp = Game_Temp.new
    $game_screen = Game_Screen.new
    $game_screen.weather(1,5,200)
    @weather = RPG::Weather.new(@viewport1)
  end
 
  def update
    super
    $game_screen.update
    @weather.type = $game_screen.weather_type
    @weather.max = $game_screen.weather_max
    @weather.ox = 0
    @weather.oy = 0
    @weather.update
  end
 
  def dispose
    $game_screen.weather(0, 0, 20)
    @weather.dispose
    super
  end
