Little piece of advice. Read the stickies. Most people are going to glance right over this and not do anything about it

Thanks for help, but I used this script before and I changed:

Code Select Expand

SAVE_PATH = '' # Path to store save file, e.g. 'Save/' or '' (for game folder).

&

Code Select Expand

Dir.mkdir(SAVE_PATH) if !FileTest.directory?(SAVE_PATH)

into:

Code Select Expand

SAVE_PATH = ' %USERDATA%/Documents/My Games/Zagubiony Saves/' # Path to store save file, e.g. 'Save/' or '' (for game folder).

&

Code Select Expand

Dir[SAVE_PATH] if !FileTest.directory?(SAVE_PATH)

When I'm pressing Enter to save game It pops up:


I think this script first creates screenshot and ruby doesn't care Windows shortcuts xD It must be something with this %USERDATA%. How I can fix this. Thanks a lot

[DoctorTodd]

Did you download screeshot.dll and put it in your game folder?

[creepercrisis]

Yes I have this in game folder.

You'd want to use the %USERPROFILE% instead, but I suggest that you don't as there can be trouble with certain usernames unless you are using the 8.3 shortname for the path.
You can retrieve it using the .dll Amanda made in her Commercial Game Kit: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35647

*hugs*

What I must do with this DLL xD I don't care this

[Zeriab]

Look at code used to figure out where to put the saves in that project I linked to.

[creepercrisis]

Now I understand xD Thanks a lot! It's working perfectly

[Zeriab]

That's great to hear.
I'm glad I was able to prevent a nasty surprise where some players wouldn't be able to save their games

[creepercrisis]

I added AutoSave. When player will finish the part I of game (like discs in Final Fantasy on PSX ) it will save. This save is required to play part II. But nevermind. You can now close this topic Problem solved.

[Zeriab]

It's nice that your problem is solved :3
I'll keep it open so other trying to do the same thing can ask for help should they have trouble following the information here.

*hugs*

Error again xD My game can't enable load scene in title screen. Maybe it's a problem with SAVE_PATH:

Code Select Expand

class Scene_Title < Scene_Base

  def check_continue
    file_name = Wora_NSS::SAVE_PATH + Wora_NSS::SAVE_FILE_NAME.gsub(/\{ID\}/i) { '*' }
    @continue_enabled = (Dir.glob(file_name).size > 0)
  end

end

Thanks a lot

PS I didn't change anything in this part of script
