Single Save File System

[MeowFace]

Made a script that required one save file system in the request board awhile back
and found an urge to make the whole one save file script.
So here it is! Single Save File System!
 

 
Features:
[1] Able to change the default save file name to whatever you want.
[2] Save/Load without the need to enter save/load menu.
[3] Display Saving Message and Icon on save
[4] Hide Load Command in Title Scene when there is no save file
[5] Confirmation on Restarting a new game if save file exist.
[6] Auto delete save file when restarting a new game.
[7] Able to change all text message/command text in the script's Settings.
[8] Opening Save Menu using Eventing will directly save the game.
 
How to Use:
[1] Paste this script in your script editor below Material and above Main.
[2] Set up your preferences in the script's SETTINGS AREA
 
Note:
Event's Open Save Menu will directly save the game. Please use that if you wish to force save the game.
 
Compatibility:
This script overwrites how the save/load is handled in game as well as some of the GUI in Title Scene.
If you have custom script overwriting the methods this script uses, there's a chance of conflict.
 
Terms of Use:
Free for both commercial and non-commercial.

Sorry, i am not planning to support MV nor am i planning to get one in the future, unless they solve the RTP system for MV. Else i don't see the point of using MV over Unity. Unity is more powerful and suits my requirement for now.
