[XP] Chaos Project Save Layout

[Fantasist]

Chaos Project Save Layout
Authors: Fantasist, Blizzard
Version: 1.4
Type: Save/Load Scene Mod
Key Term: Title / Save / Load / GameOver Add-on

Introduction

This replaces the default Save/Load scenes with the layout from the game Chaos Project.
Features

Features taken from Chaos Project:

• The layout
• Confirm overwrite window (optional)
• Detects and uses the windowskin from the savefile (useful with other scripts which enable in-game changing of windowskins)
• Detects and uses the font from the savefile (made to work with Ultimate Font Override from Tons of Addons)
• Load-on-demand feature which temporarilyloads save data for faster file selection. Handy especially when using scripts like DREAM
• Prevents crashing and displays 'Corrupted save data' (customizable) if a savefile is corrupted
• Compatible with DREAM for Savefiles
• Location names (optional)

Additional features:

• Chapter System (optional)
• Following things are customizable: number of save slots, savefile name, savefile extension, savefile location, text in the Save/Load scene (help window text, overwrite prompt text, etc)

Demo

Come on already, this is almost plug-and-play! (Demo on demand, but respect my laziness ^_^)
Script

Installation: Place this script anywhere above main and below Scene_Load. Place above Tons of Addons if you're using it.

# Configuration:

  Save_ext = 'rxdata'   # Extension of savefiles. Change to 'dreamX' if you're using DREAM.
                                # X is the DREAM version (like 'dream4')
 
  Confirm_Overwrite = true  # Enable or disable the Confirm Overwrite prompt window

    #=============Chapter System Config Start=======================
    # You can change the chapter by using the following code in Call Script event command
    #                           $game_system.chapter = <number>
    #
    when 1 then 'First Chapter'
    when 2 then 'Second Chapter'
    # to add another chapter, copy the above line
    # and change the number and chapter name
    #=====================================================

  end
 
#============================================================
# Main Config End (Look below for optional config)
#============================================================
 
  def set_fontsize(font)
    size = case font
    #=============Font size correction config==================
    # This is for the size of the font to be displayed in the file info window.
    # This was made because the font size I decided for the layout (21) might not
    # be suitable for fonts other than Arial. If you're using a different font and
    # it doesn't look right, add that font to this list.
    when 'Impact' then 24
    when 'Comic Sans MS' then 24
    when 'Brush Script' then 24
    # to add another font, copy the above line
    # and change the font name and size
    #==============================================

Comment those lines and add this line:

Code:

    @continue_enabled = (0...CPSL::Save_number).any? {|i|FileTest.exist?(CPSL.make_savename(i))}

I use load-on-demand as well if you haven't noticed. ^_^

BTW, add the [RMXP] tag to the topic's title.

[Fantasist]

Forgot in the excitement. And yeah, I know. When 1.3 is out, it'll be added to the Features from CP list

[Flermza]

Great work, Fantasist!

[Blizzard]

I just tested it, nice job on it. Here are my suggestions and comments:

1. In your header it says v1.0 while in the version history it says v1.2. xD

2. When you try to overwrite a file and choose "No", the next time you select a file to overwrite, the cursor was memorized and is still pointing at "No". You should reset it.

3. This piece here:

Code:

    if @index == i
      return
    else
      @index = i
    end

Just this is enough:

Code:

    return if @index == i
    @index = i

4. Interesting, you used the load bar for the load state of the files. I used the load bar when actually loading the game data. I only display "Loading file..." when a file is being loaded to display. Of course, it doesn't have to be a complete clone so I think you should leave it that way.

5. Change

Code:

    if @list_win.active
      update_list
      return
    end
    if @confirm_win.active
      update_confirm
      return
    end

to

Code:

    if @list_win.active
      update_list
    elsif @confirm_win.active
      update_confirm
    end

6. Change

Code:

      @continue_enabled = false
      (0...CPSL::Save_number).each {|i|
      @continue_enabled = true if FileTest.exist?(CPSL.make_savename(i))
      }

to

Code:

      @continue_enabled = (0...CPSL::Save_number).any? {|i|
          FileTest.exist?(CPSL.make_savename(i))
      }

7. There's a "little glitch" in the title menu. Initially the "Continue" option is not enabled and is being enabled after the loading was done. You should add instructions how to edit the title script instead of making your script do the work. I did the same in DREAM for Savefiles.

8. Load-on-demand will become very useful if somebody can't resist to use more 50 fileslots... >.<

9. I put up 2 screenshots. :

@Flermza; Thank you

@Blizz:

Oops! Will have to correct that.

2. When you try to overwrite a file and choose "No", the next time you select a file to overwrite, the cursor was memorized and is still pointing at "No". You should reset it.

I know, I just forgot to do it.

return if @index == i; @index = i

lol! I wrote that code just to get it out of the way at that moment and never bothered to correct it.

4. Interesting, you used the load bar for the load state of the files. I used the load bar when actually loading the game data. I only display "Loading file..." when a file is being loaded to display. Of course, it doesn't have to be a complete clone so I think you should leave it that way.

Well, I know. But since it's a substitute for load-on-demand and it's noticable, I had to make a loading bar there. And the loading bar when actually loading a save, I know how to make a bar for normal Marshal files, but DREAM has DREAM.data(file) to directly get the data, is there a way I can make a loading bar which is not a fake? (I'd never want to put a fake bar, so I decided to just make 'Loading...' without the bar).

if @list_win.active
      update_list
    elsif @confirm_win.active
      update_confirm
    end

Point to be noted. But I think the scene messes up if I don't use 'return', I guess the 'elsif' takes care of that. ty

@continue_enabled = (0...CPSL::Save_number).any? {|i|
          FileTest.exist?(CPSL.make_savename(i))
      }

I was in a hurry to get the Scene_Title thing out of the way, I didn't realize >.<

7. There's a "little glitch" in the title menu. Initially the "Continue" option is not enabled and is being enabled after the loading was done. You should add instructions how to edit the title script instead of making your script do the work. I did the same in DREAM for Savefiles.

I wanted to mention about it, but it makes the script 100% plug-and-play. I'll remove that when this becomes beta (when this becomes worthy of having to change a script, lol!)

8. Load-on-demand will become very useful if somebody can't resist to use more 50 fileslots... >.<

lol, yeah. I tested it with 100 save slots and it takes a couple of seconds even without no savefiles. (but at least the loading bar looks nice... ahem...)

9. I put up 2 screenshots.

Hey! Where's the screenshot of the confirmation window
j/k
Very much appreciated

4. Not without hacking DREAM. I use a modified version of DREAM for CP of course. The only thing that COULD work is if you hack DREAM and extract the method "dream4_decryption" AND mess around with it.

7. Some scripts just can't work plug-n-play. ._.

8. 2.5 seconds with 100 empty files.

9. Add it yourself.

[Fantasist]

4. - I guess I have to accept it. (and can and will you sue me if I DID hack DREAM, modify the method and upload the new files? Now that I think about it, your license allows derivative works with proper attribution...)

7. - I just made it work (by compromizing effeciency and a nagging piece of concience that tells me I coded a lame excuse for "Some scripts just can't work plug-n-play", lol)

8. - Speaking of which I've been uising Time.now a lot lately.

9. - lol, OK

(click to show/hide)

I've actually made a functional and effecient ring command window and I'm VERY happy with the result, I'll be uploading an encrypted demo soon. I'll PM you the other scripts I made, just for kicks XD (and they're plug-and-play withoug problems).

[Sally]

this seems cool,
what dose "Customizable savefile extension" mean?

[Fantasist]

thanks It's a complete script I did after a long time.

Customizable Savefile extension means your savefiles can have any extension you want other than .rxdata, just like Chaos Project saves have the extension .cps (Chaos Project Save).

Oh! And if you're using DREAM, don't forget to change it accordingly! (got to add this line in v1.3)

[Blizzard]

4. - I guess I have to accept it. (and can and will you sue me if I DID hack DREAM, modify the method and upload the new files? Now that I think about it, your license allows derivative works with proper attribution...)

Hack DREAM and see what happens. There is a license redefinition in there. WcW found it already. xD

[Fantasist]

I'm not even a beginner at hacking XD
I normally use notepad to open files when I want to look at them. I DID try a hex editor once, but everything was Greek and Latin. I don't think I'll go that far, I can pass without the loading bar. For now, I just used the bar, but it only displays 0 and 100%. 0% when starting to load the data, and 100% when done. It's not really fake, but it'll look better without the bar and only words imo. I'll do that later.

[Blizzard]

You just need to figure out how it gets decoded, nothing more. It's not even REAL hacking. :

[Fantasist]

Will give it a shot then, ty

EDIT: v1.4 is up.

New features:
 - A little remodel (gave more space for the names of actors)
 - Chapter System and location names added
 - Other little things I can't remember right now

[Sase]

Nice, I will use ^^;

I searched the script but it's too messy for me. How to change the "overwrite"-choices default by No, because it may prevent some mishabs if you accidently press Enter.

[Fantasist]

Hm, good point. For the time being, find Scene_File and scroll down to 'def update_list'. Somewhere below that line, you'll find these lines:

Code:

def update_list
    @list_win.update
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Save) && CPSL::Confirm_Overwrite &&
        FileTest.exist?(make_filename(@list_win.index))
        @list_win.active = false
        @confirm_win.index = 0
        @confirm_win.visible = @confirm_win.active = true
        .
        .
        .

Now, change the 0 in "@confirm_win.index = 0" to 1 and you're done.
