Skip Title Screen script (one that works!)

[MCsephiroth13]

Hello all, I know there are many scripts that allow you to go straight to the player's starting position without going to the Title screen, but literally every single one I tried had a problem with it. SephirothSpawn's Intro & Splash gave me an error saying that Scene_Base was not detected, even though I had the SDK, another one didn't even do anything, and then there was one that opened the game for like a second and then it just closed abruptly.

What I'm trying to do specifically in my game:
The game would open with a blank map that first asks "Enable full screen?"-Yes or No, then it would say "Choose a Destination:" (or something)-Watch Intro or Go to Title.

So what I'm asking for is a simple, plug-and-play script that goes to the map that the player starts on. Also, I would like for it to NOT require SDK! I want it to also enable me to be able to use the "Return to Title Screen" event command without any hassle.

Thank you to anyone who can post/ make me such a script. :smile: :smile: :grin:

It's no wonder that they normally use the SDK. It's much easier in that case.
Anyway here you are: (Yes, it is a bit ugly)
[rgss]class Scene_Title
  alias_method :zeriab_scene_title_main, :main
  def main
    load_database
    command_new_game
    alias :main :zeriab_scene_title_main
  end
 
  def load_database
    # Load database
    $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")
    # Make system object
    $game_system = Game_System.new
  end
end

UGLY!? That's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!! You have no idea how badly I needed this. Thank you!
*hugs back*

Now, just one last thing.

How do I edit Scene_Title so that instead of making "New Game" send set the player to the starting position, it transfers him to a specified map, as if using the Transfer Player event command? It's probably a simple edit. I tried doing it myself but failed miserably. (I changed line 133 and erased start_ and put after map_id the name of the specific map I wanted in quotes and parentheses but it didn't work.)

Aww, thank you :blush:
It really just is me being lazy. You definitely wouldn't say that if you were a scripter.

Anyway what about letting "New Game" send the player to the set starting position and instead specify where to start when you open the game? It's easier that way:
[rgss]class Scene_Title
  alias_method :zeriab_scene_title_main, :main
  def main
    alias :main :zeriab_scene_title_main
    load_database
    # Select the starting map and coordinates
    $data_system.start_map_id = 2
    $data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y = 5, 9
    command_new_game
  end
 
  def load_database
    # Load database
    $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")
    # Make system object
    $game_system = Game_System.new
  end
end
[/rgss]

Remember that you must not use leading zeros. $data_system.start_map_id = 09 gives you an error while $data_system.start_map_id = 9 don't.
