Custom Save System Needed

[Polraudio 122]

I been thinking about how the save system sucks and i need a new one to reflect the style of my game. Its kind of a simple system.

 

Here is what it looks like.

 

Each save is a different window and beind the windows i will have a picture. Each window should have an oppacity setting so you can see the picture a little.

 

Graphic: I have a 3 person menu system so all i need is it to display the 3 characters sprites facing down.

Date/Time: Should display the date/time of the save with PM and AM after(will also settle for military time)

Chapter: Will display a variable i set in game that is used to show the chapter your on.

The rest you should know.

 

I need the same type of layout for loading.

 

Before you load/save it will ask you if you are sure you want to save/load and for saving if theres a file there it asks if you want to overwrite.

 

Some of the items may be hard to fit but try your best and if you need any more info feel free to ask.

If you think the order of the items are not good feel free to change it.

Thanks in advance :)

Lemme See About This I Probably Can Do This So Ill See The Default Save And Work With That...

Also I Dont Think I Can Make it Exactly The Way You Will Want It But I'll Try My Best...

Peace!!!

 

EDIT: I Tried My Best But I Cant Get The Windows Aligned Like Yours Though I Got The Date/Time , Month/Day/Year , Playtime Good But I Wasnt Able To Do It All

Im Sorry :(

Pol, I <3 you. You gave a beautiful description and examples, so it was really easy to make :)

 

Here is the script:

(note: All you need to configure is the constant in Window_SaveFile: set CHAPTER_VAR to the ingame variable ID of whatever the chapter variable is, and the constant in Scene_File: set SAVE_BG to the filename in the pictures folder :3)

@viraniz: feel free to look at my code if you wanna see how i did it :3
