Skip Title Screen & NeoABS Compatability Issue?

[Akirau]

Well, I wanted to use an evented title screen system for my game and I used the editted Main to jump straight to the Scene_Map. I also wanted to incorporate the NeoABS in it, but it seems that some issues occur.

The Main Script:

begin
 
   # Start in Full Screen
   #showm = Win32API.new 'user32', 'keybd_event', %w(l l l l), ''
   #showm.call(18,0,0,0)
   #showm.call(13,0,0,0)
   #showm.call(13,0,2,0)
   #showm.call(18,0,2,0)
    
 $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")
    $data_classes       = load_data("Data/Classes.rxdata")
    $data_skills        = load_data("Data/Skills.rxdata")
    $data_items         = load_data("Data/Items.rxdata")
    $data_weapons       = load_data("Data/Weapons.rxdata")
    $data_armors        = load_data("Data/Armors.rxdata")
    $data_enemies       = load_data("Data/Enemies.rxdata")
    $data_troops        = load_data("Data/Troops.rxdata")
    $data_states        = load_data("Data/States.rxdata")
    $data_animations    = load_data("Data/Animations.rxdata")
    $data_tilesets      = load_data("Data/Tilesets.rxdata")
    $data_common_events = load_data("Data/CommonEvents.rxdata")
    $data_system        = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")
  $defaultfonttype = "Times New Roman"
  $defaultfontsize = 22
    
  $game_temp          = Game_Temp.new
    $game_system        = Game_System.new
    $game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
    $game_variables     = Game_Variables.new
    $game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new
    $game_screen        = Game_Screen.new
    $game_actors        = Game_Actors.new
    $game_party         = Game_Party.new
    $game_troop         = Game_Troop.new
    $game_map           = Game_Map.new
    $game_player        = Game_Player.new
    $game_party.setup_starting_members
    $game_map.setup($data_system.start_map_id)
    $game_player.moveto($data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y)
    $game_player.refresh
    $game_map.autoplay
    $game_map.update
    $scene = Scene_Map.new
    


    
  Graphics.freeze
  while $scene != nil
    $scene.main
  end
  Graphics.transition(20)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
  filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
  print("File #{filename} not found.")
end

NeoABS: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=19797.0 (I am not using the SBABS Add-on or the caterpillar script or the icon overhead display)

Whenever I start the game, it says :

Script' o Player Process' line 457: NoMethodError Occured
Undefined Method `dash_lenght' for nil:NilClass

Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

Well I did a quick search for you and found this made by Tibuda. Basically this script will skip the title screen, starting a new game or showing the loading scene if save file available. I'm not sure if its what you wanted or not but I thought it was better than nothing seeing as I couldn't solve your original problem.

Spoiler: Tibuda's Skip Title Screen Script

SDK.log('Title Skipping', 'tibuda', '1.10', '04.12.2007')
SDK.check_requirements(2.0, [1, 3])

if SDK.enabled?('Title Skipping')
#============================================================================
class Scene_Title
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias_method :tibuda_skiptitle_scntitle_init, :initialize
  def initialize(force_newgame = false)
    tibuda_skiptitle_scntitle_init
    @force_newgame = force_newgame
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  SDK.log_overwrite(:Scene_Title, :main)
  def main
    return if main_battle_test? # Battle Test & Return if in Battle Test Mode
    main_database # Database Initialization
    # Checks For Save Files
    main_test_continue
    # If continue is enabled, move to Load Scene
    if @continue_enabled && !@force_newgame
      $scene = Scene_Load.new # Continue
    # If disabled, start a new game
    else
      command_new_game # New Game
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  SDK.log_overwrite(:Scene_Title, :commandnewgame_audio)
  def commandnewgame_audio
    return
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  SDK.log_overwrite(:Scene_Title, :command_continue)
  def command_continue
    # If continue is disabled
    unless @continue_enabled
      return
    end
    # Switch to load screen
    $scene = Scene_Load.new
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
end
#============================================================================
class Scene_Load
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  SDK.log_overwrite(:Scene_Load, :main)
  def on_cancel
    # Play cancel SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
    # Switch to title screen
    $scene = Scene_Title.new(true)
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
end
#============================================================================
end

Thanks, but I don't use the SDK so it wouldn't be compatible. =/

Include the line:

$NeoABS = UCoders::NeoABS.new

(It might not be a capital C, not sure)

Whoo, it works! Thanks Wyatt, your a life saver.
