[enablesave]

[disablesave]

[autosave] - save point in game progress

Goes with no parameter, update the auto save file in document directory. this script would work when the game is unsaveable.

The script [load] goes with one parameter, the path of a save file. After a load operation, the game will jump the point which stored in the save file. You will not be prompted after this script, it is different from use a load button in the main menu.

In this version ,you can use only two save file in one game.

[load Filename]

Example: make a load menu

in init.xml

<imgsave  img="ui/btsave.png" x="65" y="15" file="save.xml"/>

<imgload  img="ui/btload.png" x="165" y="15" file="autosave.xml" txt="Do you  want to go &#xA; to the last checkpoint"/>

in a scenario file

[ask the save file|300|100|labelA|imgask3.png]

[ask the autosave file|300|200|labelB|imgask3.png]

[dialog bunny| Which file do you want?]

[label labelA]

[load save.xml]

[label labelB]

[load autosave.xml]

[initsavefile]-initialize all the save files and setting

This operation is dangerous that it will remove all your collection and setting in the game. The files in setting directory will copy to document directory and recover the cg.xml, staticvar.xml and the two save files. If the player want play a game at the very beginning, use [initsavefile].

You will not be prompted after this script, so write a confirm menu in the game before your players come to this script.

this script will read the next line of script, but not go to the first scenario  automatically.

Example: make a confirm menu before initialize

[label menu]

[ask New Game!|300|100|labelA|imgask3.png]

[ask Load|300|200|labelB|imgask3.png]

[ask Initialize|300|300|labelC|imgask3.png]

[waitclick]

[label labelC]

[ask Yes!|300|100|labelD|imgask3.png]

[ask I change my mind|300|200|menu|imgask3.png]

[dialog bunny| Do you really want to clean all your collection?]

[label labelD]

[initsavefile]

[dialog bunny| Now there is no picture in your gallery. ]
