While looking for ways to add my own data to the save file, I noticed, that there is a character limit to save files:
After some web searching I only found a few topics on this, one mentioned that this 200000 limit is because of parser issues when files get longer than that. One topic also mentioned reaching this limit on a 101x100 or so map with 100 events.
I don't plan to have that many events on a map, but it made me a bit nervous about just putting my own save data into the regular file.
What I do might have are files that look like this in json:
They store the minimum amount of information I need if I want to recreate the Townbuilding I have in VXAce in MV.
So a single building is about {"x":100,"y":100,"waiting":12000,"busy":120} which is length 44. Lets be a bit generous and assume 20 buildings for each town and 10 towns each in 7 regions, we are already at ~ 62000 charcters not counting , and [].
From what I have read in the past 2 Threads there are probably 2 ways to save, one for desktop and one for all deployment.
So should I try and create my own save files in addition to the default ones to store that data and edit the DataManager functions based on the existing DataManager functions, or is there again a better way, thats just wasn't picked because it didn't exist in the old version of JS that was used when MV was created?
Code:
DataManager.saveGameWithoutRescue = function(savefileId) {
var json = JsonEx.stringify(this.makeSaveContents());
if (json.length >= 200000) {
console.warn('Save data too big!');
}
StorageManager.save(savefileId, json);
this._lastAccessedId = savefileId;
var globalInfo = this.loadGlobalInfo() || [];
globalInfo[savefileId] = this.makeSavefileInfo();
this.saveGlobalInfo(globalInfo);
return true;
};I don't plan to have that many events on a map, but it made me a bit nervous about just putting my own save data into the regular file.

Code:
[
[ {"x":100,"y":100,"waiting":12000,"busy":120}, {"x":120,"y":120,"waiting":7000,"busy":110} ],
[ {"x":12,"y":200,"waiting":14000,"busy":170} ]

Tonbi's MZ material factory
That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
