    Alright I'll find a solution.

    EDIT:

    What menu and save system are you using? Do you know of any scripts that may cause the problem?

    You have a solution?

    Well the menu script isn't the problem, could you make a copy of your project and remove scripts until the it works?

    That almost gave me a virus. :o

    But yes I see what you mean. I put the autosave script above it and it fixed the menu but not the autosave call. I'll try to fix the autosave call in my next version.

    Alright I'll start it tomorrow (It's 1:53 AM where I am and I'm in no mood to script).

    EDIT:

    Sorry Jormarcenter, I've been working on some other stuff. I'll attempt to make them compatible.

    hello i seem to be having a problem with this script.

    the script is supposed to rename a single file 'autosave'.

    Use this version, the main one is outdated. This version allows you to use these commands in a script call. Make sure to credit both me and ArkLennard.

    Hello Casper!


    First I would like to congratulate you for the great work.


    I would like to use this script of yours, but just need a part of it:


    I want the autosave is the ONLY way to save the game. In other words, there is only one save slot, and I'll EVENTS IN call Script (DataManager.csca_autosave :) save)), and the player will be informed that the game was saved.


    Thus, I put false at all the options to automatically save even more for the Title Screen "Load Autosave". I want the conventional option "Load" to load the autosave!


    Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english.
