Adding JSON data temporarily.

[Jeremy Cannady]

So I have a JSON file for actors. 

I can currently generate new actors in the game and write them to the JSON file thus having a character generation in game.

Problem is when you start a new game you have all of the database actors plus the new ones from the previous save file.

I would like to have these separate.

Question is do I not write to Actors.json but make a new json specfic for that save file?

And when I load the save game do I just combine the two data files together ?

You could take a look at DoubleX's Dynamic Data plugin: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/48589-doublex-rmmv-dynamic-data/

Looks like he just stores the data in $gameSystem and just overwrites it when you load the game. No JSON at all.

I will try to do something similar. 

Thanks I, big help.

If you want to save to a file look at StorageManager.saveToLocalFile which just use node.js fs to save the file,

if instead you are happy to add your data to the savefile just do something like https://github.com/kentaromiura/RPGMV-Plugins/blob/master/Plugins/Battle/EnemyStats.js#L80-L90,

basically just run the original DataManager.makeSaveContents and append the property you want to save there,

on DataManager.extractSaveContents it will be there so you can use that to add your actors
