~[More savefiles]~, The amount of the savefiles can be set Options

[ERZENGEL]

1. Intro
   In the RPG Maker 2000 had 15 saveslots. When the RPGXP appeared only 4 slots. But with a script by KGC could expand this. Since the default RPGVX only has 4 saveslots, I thought why I don't make myself such a script as KGC has done? So here is my conclusion:
   
2. Features
   • Set the value of saveslots
3. Screenshots
   
   
4. Guide
   Create empty Script above Main and paste the script into it.
   To change the value of saveslots, simply set the constant MAXSAVEFILES to positive numerical value. For example:
   CODE
   MAXSAVEFILES = 64
   Now the amount of savefiles is 64.
   
5. Script
   [Show/Hide] 1.00

6. Outro
   I tested it till 999 savefiles, so it should work to this amount without problems. Unfortunately, I have not the time or the necessary script had to test the compatibility. So if you have any suggestions or problems post them here.

[Apocalypto]

good job man! very useful script!

[pikachu 2127]

Nice! Just what I'm looking for.

[Kingston]

thanks a ton, btw, i lost my save fil :^(

[BIitz]

I can honestly say this is one of the most useful scripts I have ever used, Well one of the only ones because I can't get most to work >.>... Very easy, Plug, change value, and play!

[Groudon128]

I used this, its awesome!

One thing to point out is that having 999 slots (the supposed maximum) seems to overload and lag the game. I used 99 however and it works fine, 99 is all someone should need, right?

[KD648]

Quick question, how would you feel about this being used in a commercial game? I can't afford to pay you for it, but I would of course credit you. Feel free to say yes or no, no hard feelings either way.

[Resource Dragon]

Epic Necropost. Please don't do this in the future. And if he wanted it not used in commercial games, he probably would have said so. So go ahead and use it.

[Finncarls1]

Nice script man seems really usefull
