RMMZ ARPG plug-in set - I am having troubles with saving the game

[Arwo]

Hello!

So let me start by saying that I am completely new to the RPG Maker engine and I am trying to learn everything on my own. I am trying to "study" the project which is available in the "ARPG plug-in set". I was able to resolve some issues by myself but now I am stuck with one thing.

The ARPG plugin which I am referencing is available on Steam, just so you know what I am talking about -

So when you launch the game, you will start in the very first room. In that room after pressing the escape button, you can save the game without any problem as you can see below.


However when I enter the second room in the tutorial in which there are enemies, the save button is grayed out and the game cannot be saved. Even after defeating all of the monsters in that room it is still not possible to save the game as seen below. I even tried to setting up simple events where you press the action button on a specific tile and the game would bring up the save menu - it works and the save menu shows up however when I press the button to save, nothing happens.


Another thing is that in the options menu "autosave" is turned on and to my understanding, game should be saved every single time after player switches a location - when you move from one room to another but that is also not working.


I was trying to inspect all of the events etc. but I can't figure out why the save game is disabled and how can I change it? I must be missing something and that's why I came here for help.

All I want to do is to enable the save game option and autosave option as it seems to be not working currently.

Thank you for help!

I've moved this thread to Plugin Support. Thank you.

In general I can think of two possibilities that have nothing to do with any plugin:

1) wrong folderpath
if the path to your project breaks the networking rules, any browser may have problems accessing it for stored files.

2) event command "disable save"
If you have an event somewhere that disables save, it will remain disabled until the counter command is given.

Hey, thank you for a reply.

I have double checked all of the events codes and I did not see the "disable save" command so I don't think that's the issue.

Can you elaborate more on the wrong folderpath? How can I check this and fix it?

Is there maybe anyone else who has also downloaded the ARPG project and checked it - do you know why the save button does not work?

How can I check this and fix it?

In the editor, click game - open folder
then right-click the index.html and select properties.

One of the first properties listed in the next window should be named location or so (depends on windows language), please copy that text line and paste it here for us to check for you.

there are too many different things that could make that path invalid for a browser, I can't list them all.

Fixing it would be moving the entire project folder to a new location, unless it is the project folder itself. then it would have to be renamed.

I did not see the "disable save" command

unfortunately too many people failed to look everywhere, so simply not seeing is not enough to test.
Have the player transfer to a new, empty map after the problem appears. that new map should have only a single action button event where you turn on the savescreen again.

if it now works, you'll know that you missed one command in your search.
If it still doesn't work, make sure that the common events set to parallel does not have that command either.
