Randomness leads to inovations: Call title screens from the game

Because of this script, i think there are plenty of awesome things that could happen because of it. But, mainly, is there a way to load a game from the game itself, say a save point that saves or loads files? Or a way to load specific items from files, such as when FFX loaded the dictionary?

So many ideas...

Also, how do you call the title screen from ingame?

$scene = Scene_Title.new for the second one. Peace!

Hey that's my thread...!!! Cool.

Anyway..... Let's see:

But, mainly, is there a way to load a game from the game itself, say a save point that saves or loads files?

I'm not sure but I think the event for a save point like that would go something like this:

Show Choices:
Save:  Call save screen
Load:  Call Script:  $scene = Scene_Load.new

Don't quote me on that, but I think that's the way it would go.

Next:

Or a way to load specific items from files, such as when FFX loaded the dictionary?

Well i don;t know about checking things inside of a FILE, but I do know that you can check for things inside a FOLDER.

Use this line:

if File.Exist?("STRING")
  Type code
end

I used this to check if the there is a Movies folder in the main directory of the game. It goes like this:

if File.Exist?("Movies/Intro.wmv")
    Call Script:  $scene = Scene_Movie("Intro.wmv")
end

This basically only calls the movie if there is a movie to call.

Not sure if that's what you were looking for, but there you go.

I'll test them. Get back to ya soon.

EDIT: Both things work, but it does not allow you to get back to the part of the game you were at. How do you do that?

Why not just show the title screen as a picture?

I'm not sure what you mean?

I actually wanted to skip the Titlescreen at the very beginning of my game in order to add some effects before the Titlescreen appears.

I think he's wanting a way to call things from the game without going to titlescreen for it.

Both things work, but it does not allow you to get back to the part of the game you were at. How do you do that?

I'm not sure what you want, but if I understand you correctly then you'll have to save the game first then go to load game.

I'll have to look but I think this will work just fine. But there might be a command in Scene_Load that if you hit ESC then you go to the Titlescreen. If that's the case then I'll fool around with it a little bit and maybe get it to go to the Scene_Map instead.

Don't expect it to be perfect I'm not a scripter... I just get lucky with my ideas every now and then.
