Title screen problem

salva123 · Jan 16, 2012

I have a problem with the title screen of my project. The problem is that the "start.png" doesnt show up in the splash screen. But it's not my game the one with the problem, it happens with cedexia's starter kit too. So I want to know is someone can help me.

(I didn't know where to post this, so I posted here.)

Are you playing the game through RPGMaker itself, or using the Game.exe within the folder? X

Abnegation · Jan 17, 2012

Probably because you're running it in debug mode (within RMXP) and not running the Game.exe.

I don't think that's what he meant. He wants to know why the "Press Start" picture doesn't appear over the title screen. Look in the folder "Graphics/Titles" and you'll see what I mean.

Essentials doesn't do that.

I have the Start.png there but it doesnt show up, I tried the title screen with a new project but it doesnt show up too, and I know that it has to appear because I didnt have this problem before and I dont know why this happens.
And yes I am running the Game.exe .

Yes, I'm repeating myself. Essentials hasn't shown the "Press Start" picture since at least September 2010.

salva123 · Jan 17, 2012

Ok, but is there a way I can make it appear?

Maruno · Jan 19, 2012

Off the top of my head, maybe. Check out an old version of Essentials, before the title screen code was changed (I don't know when that was, but Feb 2009 had the old code).

where can I find a version of that date? I only find links to the old pokemon essentials wikia download section
