About this mod

This is NOT my mod, but as this mod needs an update, here one is!

Hate the beginning section of the game? Skip it with this mod script! Updated for 1.0.0.8!

Permissions and credits
DISCLAIMER:

*** THIS MOD IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH RANDOMIZER/GARDEN OF ASSEMBLAGE, OR ANY OTHER MOD THAT CHANGES ORDER OF EVENTS!***
I was hoping this would be obvious, but it doesn't seem to be the case. This script must not be used with any other mod that changes the order of events, or it can cause major conflict! Support will not be provided to anyone attempting to use this with any mod like this.

Also, there was a major bug in previous versions that would cause some issues down the line with Moogle + other weird problems. This has been fixed in the latest version, but will only take effect for new games. For all existing users, please use Kingdom Save Editor to fix your saves!

Load your save in Kingdom Save Editor, navigate to the story tab, and check all Twilight Town entries including and between START_1 and 310_END_L. Afterwards, save. This should fix any issue you may be experiencing.

OVERVIEW:

This script allows you to selectively skip the Roxas portion of Twilight Town, effectively skipping the tutorial of the game.
This is mainly for people replaying through the game for the 50th time and don't want to bother hitting things with a plastic bat or delivering newspaper again.

Upon skipping, you may select your level path (Sword, Shield, or Staff), and after some cutscenes, you'll be dropped off at the front of the Old Mansion as Sora. You will be left with 0 EXP, 0 Munny, and all abilities that you should have at the end of Roxas's portion.

NOTE: You will have neither the Champion's Belt nor Medal when you skip the tutorial. I wasn't sure which one to give the player, so let me know which one you'd prefer, and after enough comments I'll update the script with the preferred item.

REQUIREMENTS:

This mod is compatible with the US version of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix ONLY. Support for the European version + multiple languages is planned. Support for other versions is no longer planned, but if there is a sufficient demand I will look into this.
This mod requires either the external or the internal version of LuaBackend v0.4 or above.

Please see this page for LuaBackend installation instructions.
