Choices in Scene_Save

[Tassadar]

Here's the problem: I can't think of a way to show choices in Scene_Save. It should be like this:
Do you wish to save?
Yes/no
if Yes
save
else
$scene = Scene_Menu.new(2)

Here's the Scene_Save I'm using (only a few small edits done by me, but it's different from the regular Scene_Save so I figured it would be best to post it)

#==============================================================================

    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

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

    # Make character data for drawing save file

    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)

Well the script don't work for me, secondly how do you save? through the menu or through save points?

 

[Tassadar]

It's not a script for use, it's just showing which script I'm using, so people know that. All that needs to be done is add a message which displays 2 choices, yes and no. As soon as that's finished, the script will be done, which means it'll get posted in the submitted scripts. The script works with Scene_File, so it will instantly save as soon as the save button is pressed.

Sorry just thought with you posting it, I thought it was needed for the problem.

 

[Tassadar]

It might be, but it's highly-unlikely (or that's what I think)

I updated the first post with Scene_File anyway, so you can see if it's going to cause any problems.

Is ok I have the choices and window, just making it pop up in the file save window and adding what happens when clicked.

bare in mind I am doing this while eating my tea

 

[Tassadar]

Haha ok, can you teach me how to eat tea too? I usually drink it. Sorry :P

 

[Hevendor]

What are you going to use the choices for though? Doesn't the game already give you a huge menu with the save slot list and so on?

 

[Tassadar]

It'll be just like in Pokemon and some other games, where you will only have 1 slot available for saves. Having multiple slots is unnecessary for my game, so that's why I figured having only 1 slot would be best.

Sorry it's taking longer than I thought it should have been a simple
s1 =
s2 =
window blah blah

it will be done I just hope you have a bit more patients.

 

[Tassadar]

Sure, take your time.

 

[Anonymous]

Thanks, I get worried when doing stuff for people I feel it has to be done within the next 5 minutes

[EDIT]

I can't get the window to be selectable! I have asked Raziel if he can help, so hopefully he can.

 

[Anonymous]

Right it is like 90% done, I just have a slight bug if I press the C key after I choose No it errors (disposed window) however If I press the X key instead it all works fine, so it shouldn't be long now.

Sorry for double posting but I need Tassadar to know there is a new post.

 

[Tassadar]

Ok, glad to see you've nearly finished it.

It doesn't seem to work for me. It gives a few errors for wrong number of arguments, but I might have found a way to do this myself. Just testing though, so you can continue to work on it if you wish. Thanks.

Try it in a blank project, and don't forget to replace the current scene_save.

it works fine for me, although I haven't checked for compatibility with other scripts

 

[Tassadar]

Well in a blank project it does work, just not the way I wanted it to work :D

Anyway, I decided to make a whole new scene for this, using a picture of how Scene_Menu looks like. This is because having an entirely black screen with a choice looks silly, and this gives you the impression it's the same screen. The downside to this? It will only work in my own project. I'm currently looking at a way to make this work in a blank project.

*Edit* Ok, I fixed everything and posted the script at the Submitted RGSS Scripts. Thanks for your help anyway
