No no, inside RPG Maker VX there is a thing called Resource Manager, you import your image using that feature, which opens at F10 I think, or F9

hmmm... now the original picture is deleted and i cant import any other picture and when i start the game there comes a script error

Well, I can guarantee that it was not caused by using the resource manager. what is the error?

[heysem]

I've got one more question, how do you change the sound in the opening screen?

[Retired-Pine]

It's in System Tab in the Database

[heysem]

how do you make one autorun event follow another without having them both played at the same time?

[Retired-Pine]

For that you'd have to use switches, activate one at the end of the first one

[stun]

I got the change of initial party and party names, but how would you "choose" a party/character to start off with. Thanks for your help

-EDIT-
Nvm, I got it.

Harmill good job on the Tutorial, but one quick question I followed all of you steps on STEP 5. but my scene keeps looping, am I leaving out a switch that would stop the cutscene or what?

EDITI found a way to make it stop looping but when I enter the room again the cutscene starts up again. Is there a way to make a cutscene no longer appear after you finish it?

[Retired-Pine]

Yes, use self switches....

At the end of the scene put Self Switch A=ON command and then create a new event page that's empty with the condition Self Switch A=ON

Good guide, but one thing confuses me how do you make iy so that in text boxes a characters name comes up as what the player names them?

[heysem]

Another quick question if you dont mind
So i have this event where a picture is shown and i want the character to move upwards at the same time.
When i try to do that first the picture is shown then the character starts to move up. Can anyone help me with that
thx in advance

((Advice offered with the stipulation that I haven't tried this myself))
Heysem, I would suggest starting the player's movement first, but keeping the "Wait for Completion" box unchecked. Have the next thing that occurs be the picture displaying. If I'm right, this will cause both to appear to happen simultaneously.

Good guide, but one thing confuses me how do you make iy so that in text boxes a characters name comes up as what the player names them?

I think I can field this one. In the Help File, under Events -> Showing Text, it says that by typing \N[actornumber] into the text box, it will automatically insert the name of the actor associated with the number. For example, Actor 001 is Ralph by default. By putting "I am \N[1]." into a text box, when the text appeared in game, it would appear as "I am Ralph."

Okay, so... What happens if you allow your players to choose who they start as? Is it still the same principal?

If you did that, you would need to save a variable to the id of the actor they picked. You could then use that like this.

No need to post anymore in this thread guys. If you have more questions you can PM me or start a new topic.

[Muffinofdoom]

I need help on the anti-looping part as well. Might you explain the steps with sub-steps?

[GrandmaDeb]

Hey Muffin, and welcome!
If your event is on "autorun" it will keep going until you stop it.
The usual way to do this is to add an event page, with the condition on the left side set to self-switch.
On the first page, be sure that you set the self switch.

And check out the tutorials - they are really great!

Heya there, i'm new to RMVX. I wanted to give players the ability to change their character's name at the start. I see you've included that, but i put it at the start of the game on autorun, so as soon as a player chooses new game, they can choose the name, but i don't know how to stop the event from autorunning, because at the moment, it keeps asking for another name change over and over.

Also, is it possible to have animated or moving background images on the menu?

Edit: Actually, i thought of a few more basic questions i could add here.
1. Aside from changing the menu's background, how do i change the music?
2. I asked about stopping the character naming event, but how do i initiate it for a different character? << Haha! Never mind about this one. I figured it out and it was very very simple. I just have to change the actor's name who's being changed when i add the event.
