Main Menu Credits Button

[Tomasque 5]

I'm looking for a script that adds a credits button to the title screen which makes the screen fade to black, then fade back in on a full-screen image (my credits). When the player presses the Z button, the image fades to black, and the title fades in and the command window pops back up.

 

I tried following the advice on this thread, but I've run into trouble.

 

I've understood it well enough to import the code which adds a Credits button that runs "msgbox_p". However, when TBWCS goes into further detail about how it could be used to fade to an image, I get lost. This is the code I've imported:

Spoiler

class Window_TitleCommand < Window_Command
  # * Create Command List
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias new_make_command_list make_command_list
  def make_command_list
    add_command(Vocab::new_game, :new_game)
    add_command(Vocab::continue, :continue, continue_enabled)
    add_command("Credits",        :credits)
    add_command(Vocab::shutdown, :shutdown)
  end
end

module Scene_Credits
  def self.start_credits
    msgbox_p "Hello, put credits here"
  end
end


class Scene_Title < Scene_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * [Cedits] Command
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_credits
    close_command_window
    fadeout_all
    Scene_Credits.start_credits
  end

  def create_command_window
    @command_window = Window_TitleCommand.new
    @command_window.set_handler(:new_game, method(:command_new_game))
    @command_window.set_handler(:continue, method(:command_continue))
    @command_window.set_handler(:credits, method(:command_credits))    
    @command_window.set_handler(:shutdown, method(:command_shutdown))

  end  
  
end

 

If you could explain to me how to get from the code above to the code that I need, I'd be super thankful. 

 

(I'm using Yanfly's "Menu Cursor v1.00" script. I don't know if that'll cause any issues.)

Is it just one image?

    add_command(Vocab::shutdown, :shutdown)
  end

    @command_window = Window_TitleCommand.new

Yeah, just one image.

 

Thank you so much for the code, and for making it super legible. There were some adjustments I needed to make (I didn't want my title music to fade out), but I was able to do it no problem.

 

Could I send you a copy of the game when it's done?
