Yay! I'm on Script no. 2!
Okay. I found a script that Killswitch had made that allowed
you to bypass the title screen. I thought that it was cool but it
still left me wanting more. So I took the liberty of making it
scan for save files and if it found any it would take you to
the title screen, and if not than it sarts a new game. I'ven't a
chance to make a demo yet so if anyone wants to, then go ahead.

Here is the script:

Replace your Main class with this.

Code:

#Auto New Game System
#By: Eccid
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is my second script and it is something used in many old RPG's.
# What this does is searches to see if there are any save files before
# the game starts. If it does not see any save files then it will automatically
# start a new game. If, however, it does find a save file, it will send
# you to the title screen.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Thanks Killswitch for showng me how to bypass the title screen.

Tell me what you think and I hope you enjoy!

P.S.
How does one go up in rank on this site?

*Edit*
Ok, I was being an idiot.
I made the script longer than it needed to be.
Replace

Code:

#Start-----Searching for save files
       if FileTest.exist?("Save1.rxdata") #You can change "Save1.rxdata" to whatever your settings are
