New Game Database

[Jeff the Green]

I really feel like I should know how to do this, but I don't.

I'm changing $data_weapons into an alterable database (it works just like Game_Actor(s)) to work with my weapon customizing script. However, I have no idea how to make the game save and load the data when you save and load a game file. Am I missing something really obvious?

I asked this question recently. Not sure that it can be saved or anything like that but you'll need the virtual database script by SephirothSpawn to add or edit weapon entries. And there's the post I made. http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=30136

Hope that helps and good luck! :thumb:

I think I should have been a little clearer. I'm not using $data_weapons at all. I'm writing a new class, which is used in a similar way to Game_Actor(s) (Game_Weapons is an array of several instances of Game_Weapon, and each of the variables of Game_Weapon are alterable in-game), and I want to save it so that you keep the weapons when you load.

Just dump the $game_weapons or whatever array wrapper into the Marshal in Scene_Save load it with Scene_Load

You can use something like this for a template.

class Scene_Title
  alias_method :yourname_scriptname_scnttl_cng, :command_new_game
  def command_new_game
    yourname_scriptname_scnttl_cng
    $your_object # create it here
  end
end

class Scene_Save
  alias_method :yourname_scriptname_scnsv_wsd, :write_save_data
  def write_save_date(file)
    yourname_scriptname_scnsv_wsd(file)
    Marshal.dump($your_object, file)
  end
end

class Scene_Load
  alias_method :yourname_scriptname_scnld_rsd, :read_save_data
  def read_save_data(file)
    yourname_scriptname_scnld_rsd(file)
    $your_object = Marshall.load(file)
  end
end

I knew it was going to be something that simple':|. Thanks!
