[XP] Save File System

[shdwlink1993]

Thanks for catching so many of my stupid errors, shadonking. Very nice of you! I got that one, so now the files will display correctly. The problem was exactly the same as the one before it. -_- Oh well. It works a bit better (hopefully bugfree!) now.

[Shadonking]

ok its done, yay. if i get any other problems later on i'll tell you.

powerup

also if you need any scripts testing just pm me the script and i'll test it for you a tell you if it has bugs and problems or if i works perfectly.

[Fantasist]

Well shdw, I got to admire your guts. I wonder how long you've been working on this. Making a system like this is too much for how lazy I am (-_-)' *powers up*

[shdwlink1993]

Thanks, Fantasist! I appreciate the compliment and the powerup, although I wonder where this x-ray camera he's using to see my guts is... 

And I haven't been working on it all that long. I think I started on it... a week before the first release, maybe?

If someone has an idea for the script, then please drop a line here or a PM... preferably here, and unless the idea is out of my league, I'll try and put it in.

[Fantasist]

Hm, how about this, can you emulate the save scene from RM2k where the windows scroll? When I used RPG Advocate's savefile script a long time ago, I tried to do it but I couldn't. Of course, the windows scroll only if there are more than 4 save slots.

Just put this in there and the ARS portion of it is causing some problems.
Whenever you click on Retry or Quit the little box stays stuck on the screen as an image and you can't get it off. If you do something to die again or whatnot then a new one comes up and if you select the other one then you can see that both are there. So its not clearing away that box image after you make your selection to retry or quit.
Also there appears to be an issue with disabling ARS and whatnot as well. When I try setting it to false and then have a character die, each time it says: "Cannot update Temp Save File!\nPlease activate ARS and retry." Not sure if this is supposed to happen if its disabled but seems more like an error of some form.

[shdwlink1993]

Version 1.12b is out. This will hopefully fix the bugs that TheHackMan spotted. Thanks.

The first one was because I forgot to dispose of that window... Now I know what happens if you forget to do that xD. And the second one... is that when ALL the characters die or when just one dies? If it's the former, then that's hopefully been fixed. Otherwise, I have no clue. Tell me if the problem still happens.

[TheHackMan]

Just put in the new version and ran it through the paces that got the old bugs and tested it out in battle as well and all appears to be working now
Great job with the script, its going to come in handy at several points in the game

Sorry for the long wait. This would just need a very small change to the Visual Equipment Script:

Change this line:

  def initialize(file_index, filename)

to this:

  def initialize(file_index, filename, position)

[Shadonking]

ok i'll try it tomorow, thanks for your help

[KRoP]

Check yer PM box. ^_^

[rgangsta]

In SFS, I get an error on line 301. I need halp with this.

HELP?! 

[Red XIII]

Hi Shdw, i know this topics like a year old but I really need your help. 
I've been looking for a script like this for ages, one that uses a temp save thats loaded on gameover.

I put the script in just above main, and because I've used a map as my title screen, I got rid of the command window from the scene_title in your script and defined update as command_new_game. That all works fine (i'm not usin NG+ at the mo) until I enter 'SL93.update_temp_save' into an event. As soon as it reaches this point when playing, I get the error: 'Unable to find file Section106:311:in 'initialize'temp.save.' Thats problem number 1 

Also, (im using the chaos project save layout and stormtronics CMS btw) whenever a script has to display the location name, like in the chaos save screen or the CMS, I get this message: 'NoMethodError occurred undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass'. I had a look at the error in the script and it was definatly this line causing it: 'self.contents.draw_text(0, y, 502, 32, 'Location: ' + $map_names[@game_map.map_id])'. But when I remove your script this error doesnt happen. I was thinking it might be because of my changes to the title script, but I couldn't find anythin wrong.

I've tried sortin it myself but I'm an epic phailure when it comes to RGSS. Please help!

Shdw is currently inactive.
Maybe your problem can be solved by changing the order of the scripts. Try that.

[Red XIII]

Yay! That sorted the location display problem. I feel like an idiot lol. It still came up with the 'Unable to find file Section106:311:in 'initialize'temp.save' error though. hmm... I've also tried using the original script without any modifications too, but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help btw 

[Blizzard]

Try deleting your old savefiles. Something seems to be messed up.

[Red XIII]

  Still came up after deleting them. I really don't know what to do. It would be amazing if it worked- being able to respawn at a checkpoint when it's gameover. By the way, replacing the Tons of Addons script solved the BlizzABS HUD lag but the events still keep executing when they walk in to the character. Thanks again Blizzard

[shdwlink1993]

Thanks for reminding me. I've been meaning to redo that entire system for a while. That message always comes up. Never have figured out why, but I suspect something's hardcoded into the hidden classes to do that. I'll get a newer version up pretty soon.

[Red XIII]

Oh, thank god. Cheers shdw! Can't wait for the latest version
