It's me xLeD again! I had some spare time over today, so I though: What tha heck! I'll do something new with the GameOver Script.
And I sure got super cool!

What is so special about it?
instead of the menu is run by a usual menu like in the first GameOver menu, The GameOver Menu V.2 is all run by Pictures, 3 pictures to be exact. The pictures work as text and background... There is not usual Text in it.

What Does it do?
Like in most Pro-Games, when you die and enter the GameOver you usualy don't get back to the Main Menu... What usualy happends is that a menu fades in where you can choose:

- Load
- Exit
- Back to Main Menu

So thats exactly what I've done.

Is There no Screenies ?
Well, that would be kind of difficult to make... since the menu is run by a picture.
BUT I will however put up a sample menu instead, (Three Pictures = One menu)


The Installation
This is a 3 step tutorial how to install the script.

1. Insert the menu Pictures in YourGame/Graphics/Titles Name them 1, 2 and 3
2. Find the Script named Scene_Gameover in your scriptlibrary in your game and replace it with this:

Code:
