Hiding textbox for title slides

#1 Post by Dave the Twisted »

I have a title slide I want to use for my VN. My problem is when I use the basic "scene" function, it shows up for a millisecond and goes to the next scene. I tried putting in a blank line of dialogue, but that gives me a textbox obscuring my beautiful title slide.

For my next project I'm going to need a working toilet, a pair of pliers, a jar of cheez-whiz spread, 100 q-tips, a TV remote, a gearshift lever and a whole lot of duct tape. This is gonna be awesome.

Code: Select all

scene bg your background

Like that your screen will be shown for 5 seconds.

Ah, two very nice techniques that I usually forget to put it. Don't forget pressing "H" will also hide the textbox.
I'm not even the same person anymore

Ah, excellent. Thank you all. I knew there had to be an obvious solution I was overlooking.
