SEE - Title Screen

[Crazyninjaguy]

~ Intro ~

Time for a new script series?
Yeah, I think so too.

StormCross Engine Evolution aims to provide you with the maximum amount of customization for the default RPG Maker VX scripts, while adding new features and keeping compatibility with other scripts.

These scripts are able to be used alltogether, or just a small selection, your choice.

~ This Script ~

This script gives you all the customization powers you could want for the title screen, including random title music and random title backgrounds.
Just follow the instructions in the Title module to set everything up how you want it.

honestly i was expecting to see more from this script. but i see what you were going for. why would you ever use a random pitch? to me that seems like a loss of control. music is very important in a game.

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

The Random pitch is just an option, I just wanted to have every possible option I could think of, so every base was covered.

I'm aware there are a couple more, and will be putting them in the next version.
Thanks for your feedback though :D

Interesting fact: If you wouldn't have dropped the C (for 'Cross') in the abbreviation, you would get SCEE.

Also interesting: Your bare-bones line count is 36... and those 36 lines don't really do anything but provide a different interface for the default Scene_Title. I wouldn't necessarily call it more user-friendly... more like "you could use the steering wheel to control your car... but look, I made this very complex automaton that will turn it according to your input on this gamepad here! :thumb:"

Well, as always, I'm missing the point of it... I'm starting to think it might be me :crazy:
