How can I make a title screen? Like I need one that will just pop up when I start the game, nothing fancy just so that I dont have the black screen of doom when I start up my game.

Okay so how do I stop the person from appearing?

*Edit*
Where does the person get placed in Deadron's Character Handling?

You can also set the icon to null, and set the density of the title screen to 1 so the player can't move around.

As for Deadron's Character Handling, use character saving. If you're using buttons, edit Deadron's Character Handling by disabling the procs being called at Login and call the procs when you hit the button.

Also, RaeKwon's saving unit is best for this. My character handling library isn't what you would want at the moment because it doesn't save verbs yet. I will add that soon.

This is directly from Deadron's Character Handling:

mob/BaseCamp/ChoosingCharacter
    Login()
        spawn()
            src.loc = locate(1,1,1)
            ChooseCharacter()
        return ..()


Change 'src.loc=locate' to what you want.

Interestingly, in mine, there isnt a src.loc = locate, but Its not that hard to add it when I know where to add it, thanks. Also, how can I make the buttons load from the procs, since its not a PART of my codes, its an include

Ewwww!!!! Get rid of it - that thing's junk!

It's TERRIBLY inefficient, and much of it is redundant.

Don't you just love insulting things I made? If I'm not mistaken, didn't you use it at one point? :-D

At least that would give some validity to his claims, since he's actually tried it. Better than someone insulting it that didn't even know it existed.

Well, just for starters - you have usr plastered all over it in the wrong places. Secondly, it saves icons. And, lastly, you're using loops where they're simply not needed. That last one may not appeal differently to most people, but I always see it as why waste that extra processing power when it could be done more efficiently.
