Multiple save files 2.2

Mayhap this is the problem? https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=333023

I've notice several spots that were missing ")"s, close quotes, and "|"s. If someone has the complete scripts I'd love them.

Thank you for pointing this out. I'll upload a mirror of the script on pastebin and add the link to the main post. I'll probably start doing that for all my tutorials, since I was not aware of this problem.
 
Change this
Code: 
 commands[cmdContinue=commands.length]=_INTL("Continue") if showContinue
      commands[cmdNewGame=commands.length]=_INTL("New Game")
      commands[cmdChooseSaveTwo=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 2") if safeExists?(savefile2)
      commands[cmdChooseSaveThree=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 3") if safeExists?(savefile3)
      commands[cmdChooseSaveFour=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 4") if safeExists?(savefile4)
      commands[cmdMysteryGift=commands.length]=_INTL("Mystery Gift") if (trainer.mysterygiftaccess rescue false)
      commands[cmdOption=commands.length]=_INTL("Options")
    else
      commands[cmdNewGame=commands.length]=_INTL("New Game")
      commands[cmdOption=commands.length]=_INTL("Options")

to this

Code: 
 commands[cmdContinue=commands.length]=_INTL("Continue") if showContinue
      commands[cmdNewGame=commands.length]=_INTL("New Game")
      commands[cmdChooseSaveTwo=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 2") if safeExists?(savefile2)
      commands[cmdChooseSaveThree=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 3") if safeExists?(savefile3)
      commands[cmdChooseSaveFour=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 4") if safeExists?(savefile4)
      commands[cmdMysteryGift=commands.length]=_INTL("Mystery Gift") if (trainer.mysterygiftaccess rescue false)
      commands[cmdOption=commands.length]=_INTL("Options")
    else
      commands[cmdNewGame=commands.length]=_INTL("New Game")
      commands[cmdChooseSaveTwo=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 2") if safeExists?(savefile2)
      commands[cmdChooseSaveThree=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 3") if safeExists?(savefile3)
      commands[cmdChooseSaveFour=commands.length]=_INTL("Load Save 4") if safeExists?(savefile4)
      commands[cmdOption=commands.length]=_INTL("Options")
 
Just a note, I realized that Mystery Gifts won't work for any past the first file, at least I don't believe. I'll probably fix that at some point.
 
I can't seem to get this working. It will only save to slot 4. Looking at variable 99 it seems to be 4 every time I start a new game although by changing


Code: 
$game_variables[99]=(savenum==1)? 0:(savenum==2)?2:(savenum==3)?3:4



The 4 to a 1 I can get it to save in slot 1 but the other slots still wont work. Also is variable 32 important?
 
Sorry, change this portion, I'm highlighting the additions in red

right under the line
Code: 
elsif cmdNewGame>=0 && command==cmdNewGame

Code: 
savefile=RTP.getSaveFileName("Game.rxdata")
        [COLOR="red"]savenum=1[/COLOR]
        if safeExists?(savefile)
          savefile=RTP.getSaveFileName("Game2.rxdata")
          [COLOR="red"]savenum=2[/COLOR]
          if safeExists?(savefile)
            savefile=RTP.getSaveFileName("Game3.rxdata")
            [COLOR="red"]savenum=3[/COLOR]
          if safeExists?(savefile)
            savefile=RTP.getSaveFileName("Game4.rxdata")
            [COLOR="Red"]savenum=4[/COLOR]
          if safeExists?(savefile)
            if !Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("All current save slots are full.  If you continue you will write over a save slot.  Is this okay?"))
           savefile=RTP.getSaveFileName("Game.rxdata")
          retry

Don't know how I missed that. If you didn't have to choose the slot to replace, savenum didn't get set. So it would always use the "else" option of 4.
 
Thanks It's all good now. Only a slight bug left when saving in slot one for the first time, It will warn you about overriding even if there isn't a save file.

Did everything correctly on a clean version but I'm still getting an Error on line 42 of PokemonSave.

Anyone else?

Super late, but did you install it by copy-pasting the script from here? In several browsers, the formatted view shows up incorrectly. Try clicking Thread Tools, and Show Printable Version from there. That should give you the correct text. I'm also fairly certain this is the problem, seeing as line 42 and even above are from a vanilla v13.
 
Complete revamp of the script. Supports way more save files, autosave files, looks nicer, easy deletion of files, works with Mystery Gifts (haven't actually tested that part out, but by all logic it should).

Check it out
 
Got an error upon updating. Cause?

For reference, this is on Essentials Build 13. I think this has to do with the error being related to something added in Version 14 of Essentials, which I haven't updated to yet (and wont be until after this demo of my game is released), so is there a way I can revertt back to the 13 version of the continue screen without the trainer animation?

Sorry, that was an addition in v14, I forgot about it. Replace that line with
Code: 
@sprites["player"]=IconSprite.new(64,64,@viewport)
      @sprites["player"].setBitmap("Graphics/Characters/"+filename)
and it should work
 
And it does work, thanks! One question - I have a second save file from the previous build, how do I convert it so it works with the newer script, since I'm getting the message that there is no other save file.

What is it named? Save names should be either Game or Game_(with a number 2 or greater), or any of those with _autosave afterwards.
 
It was initially game2.rxdata, I just now renamed it to Game_2.rxdata and it's working now, much appreciated again!
I can also confirm that Mystery Gift seems to be working on the second save as well, so I guess that can be chalked up to compatable
 
Heyo! Absolutely awesome script! It works perfectly in my game, but i seem to be having some problems with the Save screen.

I'm not the best with scripts but i think i know, somewhat, how i could go about fixing it.
In short: When saving, it puts the "Pokédex" text the same row as "Save File:", cutting of the actual save file number and makes the save windows very wide.
I'd post a screenshot but it seems i havent reached the post-requirement for that yet ;)

If you know, and could help me with this, that would be great. I'll admit ill just screw things up if i start fiddling with the code myself.
