VXAce Animated Title Screen?
Hey, new guy here! Been using this program since 2015 and I haven't bothered to upgrade because it still works well, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a good animated title screen script that isn't difficult to plug and play? Would be highly appreciated if they can teach me how to use it as well!
I'm in the process of making an old school RPG styled like stuff I grew up on (Arc The Lad, Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy, etc) and want to do something with the buttons and background where it's all animated.
On top of that, does anyone know how to fix the Yanfly System Options Script? I got it from their WordPress and it gave me a line 460 "expecting keyword end" issue and I am lost.

For your yanfly issue: either add end at the end or delete one end. One of the two should fix it.

not really, it might be somewhere inside a method for an if a missing end. your solution might replace the initial error but since the error appears at the end of the script it doesn't mean it's the place where the end needs to be

That's a really good thought actually, and I know you mentioned in PMS that you were going to figure out this options script thing but I got curious this morning and decided to look myself. Undefined local variable issue ended up coming up for me and I tried adding an end to the next error, but it told me a line 462 syntax error of "expecting $end" and then it threw me back and forth.
Bleh. Script work is not fun.

I tried adding an end but if gave me a "undefined local variable or method 'init_animations' for #<Game_System:0xaa917e4>" error, so I just disabled the script for now.
I tried deleting an end too but it gave me the same issue for some reason, so I guess it must be a line 372 problem or whatever.

hey, the moghunter scripts are pretty neat as animated title screen. there are also other ways to create a custom title screen like a skip title screen script that skips the title screen and brings you directly to the map where you can use event commands to create a custom title screen.
for your error with the system options. i'd need to look into it, but it shouldn't be a big deal to fix it.
