RMMV - Save/Load/Defeat - extra features (Auto Save, etc) (2024)

​

New Version out!​

Version 1 will remain as is, with Version 2 carrying forward a new save style!​

Both versions will still receive fixes and updates to their individual setups.​

​

Reasoning for the split being that there's just too much interconnecting work in the 2.0 style to add optional on/off toggles. The new features may seem few, but the MV save system does not like change! *laughs*​

​

​

This expands on the default aspects of saving, loading, and how gameover is handled in game. Specifically, it adds:​

• Quick save
  • Saves to last used, non-AutoSave slot
  • Auto detects first empty save slot if no manual save exists
  • Optional reserved Quick Save slots
• Auto save - Plugin command or Auto options on:
  • Scene Change (customizable)
  • Map Transfer
  • Battle End
• Reserved auto save slot(s)
• Quick load
  • Loads last used, non-AutoSave slot
• Continue after gameover
• Play Common Event on -
  • Save
  • Load
  • Gameover
• Play Script for above (for writing code chunks)
• Delete save file

Quick save and Delete are tied to keybinds, Auto Save slot and Gameover Continue can be toggled off, and Common Events assigned in the plugin settings.

• Quick save = ` (right beside 1 on the number bar) / keycode - 192 (Not 196. Sorry!)
• Quick load = - (top right corner of numpad) / keycode - 109
• Delete = delete / keycode - 46

Save folder path settings are explained a bit in the plugin description/help section. The default save path - if you toggle the option to use a different path - would put the saves (on Windows) in:
C:/Users/(username)/(folders you set)/(gametitle)/save/(all .rpgsave files)
Pulling up the console in game (F8) will show the current save path on game load.

Plugin Placement:
- Compatible with Yanfly Save Core.
- Conflicts not fully tested, thought it's designed to work outside of menu configurations as much as possible.

Requires:
-

No longer requires Core.

Version 2
Everything Version 1 has!
One hitch currently:
- Yanfly Save Core (YEP_SaveCore) is not currently compatible.
I intend for that the be a temporary problem. Just have to work through the connections again.
Compatible with Yanfly Save Core again! There's a couple 'not quite right' bits in the save/load menu's, but nothing crashes, and I'm working those bits out!

New Features
Auto/Quicksave slots are now linked to the base save slot. So if you create a save in slot 1, create an autosave there, then make a new save in slot 2, you'll only see the autosave from 1 with 1 selected in the File menu.
That means 'every' basic save slot can have it's own auto and quick slots!
If you don't use the reserved slots in your project (meaning you auto/quick save over the base slot itself), then nothing here will change for you - and you're probably better off using the simpler Version 1.
Auto/Quick saves will self delete if you remove the base save they're attached to, but carry over if you save over the same slot with the same playthrough. They don't carry over to a different slot if you save the same playthrough on different slots though - they're attached to the slot that spawned them.

A new file will be found in your save folder - SaveTracker.rpgsave
DO NOT DELETE this file, as it will screw up the linking explained above.
Also, you may need to delete all saves and the global save for this to work properly (Config is fine). If you're deep in testing those saves, they could be manipulated to work - certainly not a lost cause, but it'll be cleaner to start from scratch!

If you're already using Version 1 and want to switch over,

easiest way to save your settings would be to open the plugins.js file and add the _V2 to the end of the existing ZephAM_SaveLoadDefeat name (some fuss now, turns out just changing the file name wasn't enough).

- there's actually not a single new plugin setting from Version 1.

Working on getting some warning windows in regarding the deleting of files and such, but that's a minor development problem, and one likely replaced with the devs own menu system. Same with the highlighting in File selection.

Speaking of - I 'highly' suggest not using the default MV menu system to make use of this. It's functional, and can be improved, but will never be great under the limitations. I didn't mess with any of that largely because custom systems will vary in every way. Modifications will be needed, but I'm here to help with those bits!

Good luck then, and enjoy the plugins!
