RPG Maker Forums

Hey, so I hope this is the right forum, although the weird issue I'm running into might be RMMV's core behavior, I honestly have no idea.

Anyway, I'm a little--okay, maybe more than a little--OCD. I really like having everything neat and tidy and organized just so, and that includes my save files in the game project. I had a dozen saves spread pretty randomly over 24 save slots, so I took a moment to organize and consolidate them, like "hmm, I don't really need Save 4, let's delete that and rename Save 5 to Save 4", stuff like that. Generally this has worked...except when it hasn't...and I am really baffled. Using this technique--or moving save files out of the save folder, renaming them and porting them back in, which should be the same thing--I've been able to get all of my saves where I want them, except for File3, and File9. For no particular reason that I can figure out, when I load up test play, even though I have quadruple-checked and File3 and File9 are definitely IN the save folder and there's nothing as far as I can tell that's wrong with them or different about them, they appear as empty slots on the save/load screen. Like I said, I can't tell how they're different from any of the other save files, all of which I was able to rename/move like this without issue.

It is really baffling me. Like, if none of the files were working that'd send a clear message that RMMV does not like when you mess around with the savegame directory like this, but the fact ti's just those two files is...effing mystifying. I wonder what role if any do global.rpgsave and config.rpgsave play? I'm pretty sure that config.rpgsave has no bearing on this, and it seems like removing global.rpgsave made the program think that I had no save files at all to load (all slots empty), but beyond that I'm not at all sure.

In case it helps, I attached the two save files and also a save file I was able to rename/move and load without any problem WAIT, nevermind that, .rpgsave is not an allowed extension on these forums. : "(

Anyhow, plz halp! While I'm grateful it's not keeping me from working on my game, this is a real head scratcher. Thx.

EDIT: Oh, none of my other plugins impact the save scene at all.
