[-Scripting-] Adding Title Menu Options, More Main Script Editing. Epic Ancient

Post #1
This edit was made possible with the help of Mithran. --The Goal: To add extra Title Menu Commands. (You'll notice I did this for someone's script request, but this can be made more applicable than just pictures.) All of these edits are made in the script "Scene_Title".
Type: Coder Alignment: Lawful Neutral
If it's a choice between life and death, I pick Purgatory.
You will need two pictures (for this): -A picture named "Controls". -A picture named "Credits". -Both of these go in Graphics/System. --So, let's begin. Note that your title should look something like this, first:
Now, let's open up Scene_Title in the editor and get working. We'll first be heading down to Frame Update:

This might make sense to you automatically, but perhaps not. CODE
defines which option is being selected. 0 is the first in the list. 1 is the second. And so on. So, let's add two.
I'm adding in two more options: "Controls" and "Credits". These are not defined yet, nor are they in the menu. Now, let's scroll down to Create Command Window. This tells the game what goes in the actual menu, but not what they do. That's the next step.
This is where some naming comes into play. Right below the s3 = Vocab::shutdown, add these:
What goes inside the quotations is the name of what'll appear on the menu. Feel free to change if desired. Now, inside of CODE

iPhone App Directory Now, you could save and try this out, but you'll get this:
A bit cut off, right? Well, let's fix that. On this line:
You'll find "288". This is how far from the top the menu actually is. For an ideal height, try 255, or 260. It really all depends on what you want. I'm going to go with 255. This changes your menu to this:
Now it's no longer cut off. It's time for the hard part: Making these new commands actually DO something. To do this, we'll need two new parts of coding. Since these are slightly big, I'll just give you them. CODE

Place that chunk of code directly below CODE
(Or for simplicity, place on lines 233-268.) Let me explain some of this. CODE
If that's messy, ask me what any of it does in a reply. And that's that. Apply, save, and test. Your menu commands will now display the appropriate pictures. (Good for an introductory game for new-to-vx players, [Controls] or for displaying Credits as a menu option instead of in-game event that takes a while to make. [Credits]) I hope you all enjoy this. Make sure to credit Mithran & Me, if you were to use such a feature. (Mostly his code, my attempt at creation.. He helped me touch it up. [Fix bad code])

Alrighty then. You can do more than fancy pictures, though. Like change music... and fadeout... Probably even go to a map, if you were skilled enough in scripting. All depends on what you want.

Do not expect me to be nice.
You have to put a picture in /system for both of those, at least, I think that's what the tutorial says. @Epic_Ancient: This is a great tutorial you posted. It solves my credit's problem almost immediately! I'll make sure to credit you and Mithran for your work.

I see now...
inactive.
It looks really cool and somehow geeky but actually, "Controls" and "Credits" will just show a picture until you press the X key. lol Nice Work, I learned something new again.

What do you mean, call a script? I'm not much of a scripter, but I'm pretty sure you can call a different script's class & method.

Where you would add the lines for the picture, use this line instead: CODE

I tried doing as you said, and I get the following error: CODE
Maybe there's something else you need to do..?
