Replace Scene_Title with this script(or add it above main) and it will skip the Title Screen if you are in test mode(testing if from within RPG Maker XP). If you start the game from Game.exe then it will show the title.

 

I was getting annoyed at always going to the title screen when testing little things that require a lot of opening and closing the game, so I rearranged some things in Scene_Title.

Cool very helpful. Thanks.

This is quite handy. I can see where this really comes into play.

Yeah, I actually searched for a script like this before because I needed it for testing(not that I make projects).

 

I "re-wrote" the script, and by that I mean I added three lines and two words to Scene Title. It does the same thing that first one I posted did but its much simpler.

 

EDIT: I was searching the forum and found Punks version:

Hi, great script.

I hate to be annoying but, the "Title Graphic" acts as a "Panorama" with Tilesets that do not have a set panorama and maps that use empty or transparent tiles on the map. Its like the script forgets to clear the "Title Graphic"... or am I just using it wrong?

I pasted after Main and before Scene_Debug.

Cheers

You shouldn't have a title graphic since it skips the title completely. Make sure its directly above Main and below everything else.

 

Theres also this you can try. Shouldn't be any different. http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/topic/75-title-skip/

I remember this script being very useful with playtesting a bajillion times :)  Its a staple script that I actually put into the base scripts.rvdata so its in new games by default.
