[Spy]

Hello and thank you for your script

I get this error when I open the menu:



Thank you for your help.

 

[Todd]

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?

 

[Spy]

EDIT : I found, the script "Khas Awesome Light Effects" is the problem.

You have a solution?

 

[Todd]

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

 

[Spy]

Lol I just edited the above.

The problem is the script Khas Awesome Light Effects

 

[Todd]

Alright I'll see if I can fix it.

EDIT:

Weird I can't recreate the error...

 

[Spy]

I make you a demo

Project1.rar

 

[Todd]

That almost gave me a virus.

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.

 

[Spy]

Ok Thank you

 

[Jomarcenter]

can you please find a way to make this script compatible with this script...

http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/menu-scripts/ace-save-engine/

thank in advance...

 

[Todd]

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.

 

[Todd]

I apologize for the double post...

Jormarcenter here are the scripts combined and compatible.

Autosave + Yanfly Save.txt

thank for the script.

 

[gameguy199]

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

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

and yet as i look through my files i cannot find the one labled "autosave".

any ideas why?

 

[Todd]

Use this version, the main one is outdated.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.

Autosave.callAutosave.load

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.

 

[Todd]

If I have some free time I will. No need to apologize for your English it's actually very good but my name is Todd. 

 

[Ozuma]

Hey Todd!

I do not want you to think I'm rushing you or anything, I just gosaria wonder if you can do something about what I had asked, and if you have any idea when to get ready.

 

Sorry to call you "Casper" the first time kkk

And thanks again.
