Author's Notes

I hope nothing explodes.

Restrictions

Check the header of the script.

GOOD IDEA.

What would be cool is adding in commands that could alter the settings in-game (as an option to the player), and eventually implementing those commands into a menu.

#3 • Jun 22, 2012

Thanks, I'll look into that after I complete the next version.

#4 • Jun 22, 2012

Maybe make it activated by a switch. That way it'd work with Yanfly's System Options

#5 • Jun 22, 2012

I was actually thinking that when I posted the script.

I'll remove the true and false options and use switches instead on my next version.

#6 • Jun 22, 2012

Here's a version that uses switches. I'll upload a new version when I figure out how to change the autosave file to say autosave, I still have to figure out how to do that.
