So once you load your game it gets deleted? What is the purpose of this script? Why would you want your save file deleted? Maybe I misunderstood...

 

[Jason]

Wow, thats wierd, who would want that to happen ?

 

[Sketch]

The only thing I could think of that this could have ANY merit for, is a game on an exceptionally hard difficulty level (Like Diablo 2 Hell Difficulty, or that one XBox Mech game where you died, your save game was deleted...the one with the bigass controller :P) where if you died, you lose your game, period.

I never cared for games that did that, as it was more of an annoyance, than a challenge.

If you could have this as well as the normal system you could have a neat system where there's two types of save - one that is permanent and one that is temporary. Permanent only at save points, temporary anywhere for when people have to leave but are no-where near a save point. Or like in breath of fire: dragon quarter, where the total amount of 'permanent' saves was detracted from your score.

As is, I can't really see this being sucessfully used.

I can see it's use in puzzle games that don't have a story, so if you have to leave in the middle of a puzzle you can save your record. Also, if someone edited this to only work with certain savefiles (Like Wumpi said), it would be good.

 

[Chaosg1]

It's a nice script but as they said a bit Weird, try adding the features WUmpi Said...

 

[purplecyty]

well this is a lot better than diablo hc since a non action rpg with hc mode is a lot less dangerous since I mean i can understand lag killing you in hc and stuff, but in a rpg its a lot slower paced and makes you consider your moves more carefully ^^;;. so I applaud this, of course i'm not using it since most people wouldnt enjoy this >>

If you could merge this with a autosave script that would be good.

 

[fuso]

Personally I think this is a bit too dangerous. Rather you should perhaps keep the save and instead overwrite at important points (saving goes quick so autosaving at important parts every few seconds is rather okay). For it to quite safe, you would not want the saves to be files on their own as it is now since someone could just make a copy of the save. You could keep it like this if you also have a record of what save identifiers are legal. A better way to go about this is to store them together in an encrypted file with identifiers hidden away in the registry for instance. Still hackable. The only really safe way is to communicate with an external server but each step diables a large portion of the remaining players.

Geeezzz, who wants to delete the save file after load the game? If someone screw up by presing  

 

[Brewmeister]

Ok, the only time a necropost (posting in a very old topic) is acceptable is if you have something really pertinent to say.

e.g. I would like to use this, could you please fix the first post (bad tags)? OR
I tried this script out, and I get this error: (blah, blah, blah).

And even then, it's better to open a new thread, and post a link to the old thread.

Criticism, rationalization, compliment doesn't count!

Please check the date on the previous post before posting.

like the suspend files in castlevania on the ds? yeah that is actually a pretty good idea
