save a file beffore shutdown.

[Dko]

I was wondering how I where I would save a file if I wanted it done just before I completely quit from a game? Not during the time when the player would save there game. But when they quit the game all together. I specifically want to save $data_actors so a separate file of my choosing.

EDIT: never mind. I got my problem backwards. Im trying to have my game also load up my file at startup but it seams to not get a chance to do so.

Put this code

    file = File.open(0, "wb")
    write_save_data(file)
    file.close

Under the the def command_shutdown in Scene_End

  def command_shutdown
    # Play decision SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
    # Fade out BGM, BGS, and ME
    Audio.bgm_fade(800)
    Audio.bgs_fade(800)
    Audio.me_fade(800)
    # Shutdown
    $scene = nil
  end

You could do an at_exit block. EXAMPLE:

def do_at_exit(str1)
  at_exit { print str1 }
end
at_exit { puts "cruel world" }
do_at_exit("goodbye ")
exit

produces:

goodbye cruel world

I recommend doing this. It seems to be more approripate in rmxp.

Go into Main. Below these lines:

  while $scene != nil
    $scene.main
  end

Add

  unless $game_system.nil?
    dummy = Scene_Save.new
    dummy.on_decision(dummy.make_filename(0))
  end

Sorry to bring this up again, but I too would like to do this. I have tried that way before Seph and it didn't do anything for me. But then again, I'm also trying to call the method AutoSave.save and I want it to execute when the process is exited, which is what Yeyinde is showing how to do, which doesn't work. So like when you close out the RGSS Player in anyway such as ending the process from the windows task manager or simply clicking the X in the top right corner of the window. Just wondering how I would accomplish this.
