Removing the black background in menus.

[blackiceadept]

How exactly do you remove it so the map is showing behind the menu? I've been messing around with the options for a while but I can't seem to figure it out. I also just for future notice would like to know how to make the black background into an image. Please help. :please02:

To be exact, there's no such thing as a black background, the menu's just the only thing shown in the scene. If you want to display the map underneath the menu, you could use a subscene or other, more complicated ways... but there are a mass of scripts and tutorials out there, just play around a bit with the search terms...

I can do what you need, with the picture in the BG, and you SHOULD be able to change the Opacity of the boxes.

Edit-

Okay, FINISHED ! (Didn't Take long)
In Window_MenuStatus, Underneath:

    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)

Add this:

    self.opacity = 150
    @picture = Sprite.new
    @picture.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("MENU_BG")

And then add:

    self.opacity = 150

Underneath

    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)

In all the Windows (If you wan't it in all the windows, Lol.)

Also, you'll need a picture in your Game/Graphics/Pictures folder called: MENU_BG

And here's my Info. Cards demo with this implimented:

Tell me what you think and if it works okay, Afterall, I'm only a noob scripter,

You're looking for...

class Scene_Menu
  def main
    #Draw Background
    @background = Spriteset_Map.new
    .....

like this?

I think so lan, but where exactly would I put that? I'm pretty bad at adding things in right now, this is really the first time I've decided to customize scripts.

EDIT: Thank you for answering how to put a picture behind the menu jbrist. I'm still trying to decide which I rather use a transparent menu or a menu with its own back.

Edited my first post, I've finished what I think you want, and added a demo.

Its just perfect jbrist, the map behind the menu seems harder though, so I may just leave it alone for now. Thanks again.
