I've always been a avid fan of putting gambling and mini games in RPGs, and i have done so in my last two games. However, the games are really easy to cheat, since all you need to do is save beforehand and load if you lose. It basically converts the game from "gambling" to "money farming."
Obviously, this can easily be remedied by putting in an autosave feature whenever you gamble. I would like to have the game force a manual save when entering the casino (I know how to do this) then auto-save into the previously saved slot whenever they play a game. (I don't know how to do this) Is this possible?
Full Version: autosave in last saved slot
This should work...
Just call a script in an event like this:
and it should overwrite last file loaded...
Tell me if it is what you were looking for...

The saving feature definitely works, but I'm having some issues. It autosaves to whichever file you loaded at startup. If you load a different file from the menu screen, it will still autosave to whichever file you originally loaded. In order to prevent this, you must exit to title screen and load from the title screen. (For example, if you load slot one from the title screen, then load slot 2 from the menu screen, it will autosave in slot 1, overwriting the slot 1 file with slot 2's data.)
Also, if you decide to save in a different slot, it will still autosave the original slot. (For example, if you load slot 1, then save in slot 2, it will autosave in slot 1 still.)
I think I need it to overwrite the last saved file, not the last loaded. I would like it that if you load slot 1, then save in slot 2, it will autosave in slot 2. But if you haven't saved since you loaded the file, it needs to save to the last loaded file.
I realize that's very complicated. I'm going to look at the script myself and see if I can understand why it doesn't do that. But I don't know if I'll be successful.
Thank you for your help so far.

Uhm... I'll check it in my (little) spare time, then...
If I'll succeed in doing something, I'll reply here...
Tell me if you are using a different Scene_Load / Scene_Save, before.
I designed it on the standard one, so there could be compatibility issues...
EDIT:
replace Scene_Save section in my script with this:
this will work with standard Scene_Save / Scene_Load system.
If you have a custom one, just PM me the script folder and I'll fix it.

I'm still having the same problem. I'm using Sandgolem's animated save file script (which I can VERY EASILY part with if need be)
and StormTronics Custom Menu System by Blizzard Version: 4.4b - Nemesis Edition which I cannot part with, I have already modified it to include the Blizzard Stat Distribution system I'm using . I think this script is the problem, because it modifies Scene Save and Scene Load. I'm sorry that I didn't mention it before, I didn't realize.
Here's the Scene Save and Scene Load from that script:
CODE
begin
SDK.log('SG Animated SaveFile', 'sandgolem', 1, '7.08.06')
if SDK.state('SG Animated SaveFile') != true
@sg_animsavefile_disabled = true
end
rescue
end
if !@sg_animsavefile_disabled
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Window_SaveFile < Window_Base
alias sg_animatedsave_winsf_ref refresh
def refresh
if @sg_animstage != nil
@sg_animstage += 1
if @sg_animstage == 4
@sg_animstage = 0
end
else
@sg_animstage = 0
end
sg_animatedsave_winsf_ref
end
end
class Scene_File
alias sg_animatedsave_file_upd update
def update

@sg_active += 1

@sg_active = 1

Okay, paste this below your script, without erasing the previous one I've sent you.
Just paste the scripts this way:
StormTronics Custom Menu System by Blizzard Version: 4.4b - Nemesis Edition
Jens of Zanicuud autosave v 1.0
Jens of Zanicuud autosave patch v 1.0 (i.e. this script)
...

I'm almost sure it will work (I hope so).

You're welcome
I'm only a spare-time-scripter who has a three years experience, though.
Let's say I'm just a curious freelance who is constantly looking for new challenges.
