Redistribution of parts or the whole of taaspider plugins is forbidden (which also includes reposting), unless it comes from the official website (linked within the post). You are allowed to edit and change the plugin code for your own use, but you're definitely not allowed to sell or reuse any part of the code as your own. Although not required to use my plugins, a free copy of your game would be nice!
Introduction
Sometimes we want something extra in our game's title screen. Maybe something moving, an animation, or have it change as the game progresses, showing a different scene according to something that happened in the story for the most recent save game. This plugin allows you to have maps as your title screen, and use plugin commands to update which title configuration to use. For example, you can have two configs using the same map, but one with a fixed camera at a certain point in the map, and another following a specific event as it goes around.

How to Use
First of, download the plugin here. There's a few parameters you can setup, but they're pretty much self explanatory. The most complex structure to config is the map title configutations. Title configs are set into an array of objects with the following parameters.
Demo
You can also test the plugin using my sample demo project. It was built with MV, but you can open it with MZ as well (just open the game.rmmzproject file and you're good to go).

How to Use
First of, download the plugin here. There's a few parameters you can setup, but they're pretty much self explanatory. The most complex structure to config is the map title configutations. Title configs are set into an array of objects with the following parameters.
- Map ID: Determines the map to be loaded at the title screen;
- Camera: Defines the camera as either static or to follow a specific event;
- Static Camera X: If the camera is set as static, this defines the x coordinate of the left upper corner. It can be ignored if the camera is set to follow an event;
- Static Camera Y: If the camera is set as static, this defines the y coordinate of the left upper corner. It can be ignored if the camera is set to follow an event;
- Event ID to Follow: When the camera is set to follow an event, this parameter will identify which one to follow. The event must exist in the map selected on "Map ID". It can be ignored if the camera is set to static;
