[Resolved] Should be pretty simple to do... (Skipping title)

[StarPhantom]

I have already acquired a script that skips the title screen and goes to the first map of the game. This where I will create my own custom title screen using events. Now, I need to know what code I would need to place in a call script command to load the first save slot.

That is all I basically need, but this is kind of an extra that would be sweet. If there could also be a call script that saved to only the first slot.

If anyone can help me out with this, many thanks

Go with SephirothSpawn's solution.

Good luck with it StarPhantom! :thumb:

thanks alot dude...works like a charm, who do I credit for this though :P. Did you make this script? Sorry bout this btw, I know how to use almost everything in RMXP except scripts <.<
but yeah, jw who I credit.

thanks alot again

I made it but it took less than a minute, just copy and pasted existing code within the default stuff, so there's no need to credit anyone.

I wouldn't suggest making a new module to save data. If any script creates new $game data, using that will not include it in the savefile, and it won't load correctly. Eventually, you'll end in disaster.

I suggest using:

class Scene_Save
  @@dummy_self = Scene_Save.new
  def self.quick_save(index = 0)
    file = File.open(@@dummy_self.make_filename(index), "wb")
    @@dummy_self.write_save_data(file)
    file.close
  end
end

class Scene_Load
  @@dummy_self = Scene_Save.new
  def self.quick_load(index = 0)
    filename = @@dummy_self.make_filename(index)
    return unless FileTest.exist?(filename)
    file = File.open(filename, "rb")
    @@dummy_self.read_save_data(file)
    file.close
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.playing_bgm)
      $game_system.bgs_play($game_system.playing_bgs)
      $game_map.update
    end
  end
end

Now to save or load, just use:

Scene_Save.quick_save(index)
Scene_Load.quick_load(index)

Just replace either index with your desired index.

where do I put this script...? slightly confused on yours sephiroth, like i said, I'm not good with scripts...I tried replacing both scene save and load with the scripts you provided and it doesn't work? I also put it in one separate script and that doesn't seem to work either -_-...if you could explain further where I install the scripts so I can get this to work that would be great. thanks alot

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Below Scene_Debug, add that longer code I gave you.


Then in call script box or whatever, just call

Scene_Save.quick_save(index)
or
Scene_Load.quick_load(index)


Either replace index with a number 0 - 3, or leave erase it to look like Scene_Save.quick_save or Scene_Load.quick_load. If you don't define a number 0 - 3, it will default to 0.

gaaah I feel really stupid...I did put this script above main under Scene_Debug. I named the script 'Quick_Save'

I go to save and I think it works, but then when I go to load I get this message:

?????'Quick_Save' ? 16 ??? NoMethodError ????????
undefined method 'read_save_data' for #<Scene_save:0x48b26c0 @help_text="Save to which file?">

I have 'Scene_Load.quick_load(0)' written in a call script command for the loading and I have 'Scene_Save.quick_save' for the save (because you said if I erase it, it automatically creates it for 0 )

now what am I doin wrong I'm starting to feel retarded and I hate it cuz I'm usually good with RMXP >.<

 

[SephirothSpawn]

It was my mistake. Replace the code with this:

class Scene_Save
  @@dummy_self = Scene_Save.new
  def self.quick_save(index = 0)
    file = File.open(@@dummy_self.make_filename(index), "wb")
    @@dummy_self.write_save_data(file)
    file.close
  end
end

class Scene_Load
  @@dummy_self = Scene_Load.new
  def self.quick_load(index = 0)
    filename = @@dummy_self.make_filename(index)
    return unless FileTest.exist?(filename)
    file = File.open(filename, "rb")
    @@dummy_self.read_save_data(file)
    file.close
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.playing_bgm)
      $game_system.bgs_play($game_system.playing_bgs)
      $game_map.update
      $scene = Scene_Map.new
    end
  end
end

Sorry about the confusion.

works like a charm now, thanks a lot dude, sorry for all the trouble.

do you need credit :P?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Just add this above the script I gave you:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ** Quick Save/Load System
  #   SephirothSpawn
  #   Version 0.9
  #   July 8th, 2008: 3:44pm GMTL-6:00
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little credit wouldn't hurt, but it's a pretty simple snippet.
