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.
-
Thanks, I'll look into that after I complete the next version.
-
Maybe make it activated by a switch. That way it'd work with Yanfly's System Options
-
I was actually thinking that when I posted the script. :lol:
I'll remove the true and false options and use switches instead on my next version.
-
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.
