Force Save Before Anything

[Noob Saibot 39]

Retrieved the following script from the RMXPU.net archive:

 

Requested by Alcaeus.

 

Create a new script, call it Scene_ForceSave2 and paste this script in there.

 

When saving, you cannot cancel out. You must save.

 

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_ForceSave2
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs save screen processing and there's no cancelling out.
#==============================================================================

class Scene_ForceSave2 < Scene_File
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Object Initialization
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize
super("Which file would you like to save to?")
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Decision Processing
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def on_decision(filename)
# Play save SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.save_se)
# Write save data
file = File.open(filename, "wb")
write_save_data(file)
file.close
# If called from event
if $game_temp.save_calling
# Clear save call flag
$game_temp.save_calling = false
# Switch to map screen
$scene = Scene_Map.new
return
end
# Switch to map screen
$scene = Scene_Map.new
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Cancel Processing
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def on_cancel
# Play cancel SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
# If called from event
if $game_temp.save_calling
# Clear save call flag
$game_temp.save_calling = false
# Will not go to menu. It will redirect to this scene until the player has saved.
$scene = Scene_ForceSave2.new
return
end
# Will not go to menu.
$scene = Scene_ForceSave2.new
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Write Save Data
#   file : write file object (opened)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def write_save_data(file)
# Make character data for drawing save file
characters = []
for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
actor = $game_party.actors[i]
characters.push([actor.character_name, actor.character_hue])
end
# Write character data for drawing save file
Marshal.dump(characters, file)
# Wrire frame count for measuring play time
Marshal.dump(Graphics.frame_count, file)
# Increase save count by 1
$game_system.save_count += 1
# Save magic number
# (A random value will be written each time saving with editor)
$game_system.magic_number = $data_system.magic_number
# Write each type of game object
Marshal.dump($game_system, file)
Marshal.dump($game_switches, file)
Marshal.dump($game_variables, file)
Marshal.dump($game_self_switches, file)
Marshal.dump($game_screen, file)
Marshal.dump($game_actors, file)
Marshal.dump($game_party, file)
Marshal.dump($game_troop, file)
Marshal.dump($game_map, file)
Marshal.dump($game_player, file)
end
end

 

Now when doing an event, use the call script event command and call this.

$scene = Scene_ForceSave2

 

Then after that command, use the wait frames command before anything else after using the call script command to call this script.

 

It's a good idea.

I do however see no reason for using '$scene = Scene_ForceSave2.new' in the on_cancel method.

If you just wanted the cancel sound you should change the on_cancel method to something like this: (Note: I haven't tested)

 

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Cancel Processing
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def on_cancel
  # Play cancel SE
  $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
end

 

Bingo Zeriab.

 

And theres no reason for a new scene either. This would work just fine:

class Game_System
attr_accessor :force_save
end

class Scene_Save
alias forcesave_oncancel on_cancel
def on_cancel
  if $game_system.force_save
     Play cancel SE
     $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
     return
  end
  forcesave_oncancel
end
end

 

Then, all you have to use is

 

$game_system.force_save = true or false
