[SOLVED] How do I hide load game button?

[BigHa]

I try to hide "load game" button by using persistent but it's not work.
I use image map like this.

If hide load game

-New Game
-Settings
-Quit

If not hide load game

-New Game
-Continue
-Settings
-Quit

I put $ persistent.save_unlocked = True in Screen Save (and disabled quick save in quick menu)
It look like work.But when I try to delete save file,The problem come.
It's still have continue button.

Can I hide load game button when no save file in save directories? How to do it?
And last question Can I make single save game slot? How to do it?

Edit: Single Game slot mean you can have one slot to save (and it select automatic when click save/load button)

Thanks & Sorry for my bad English.

Hiding the load button might be a little harder using image maps, because you'd need to switch your image map and definitions depending on a variable. Not using image maps, I could easily tell you how to do this.

If you only want one slot, THIS might be easier to do with an image map, because you'd only put one slot on your image map for the load and save screens. Normally, I'd say to abandon regular load/save entirely and just use quick load and quick save since you want it to automatically be chosen... but I notice that even that has 10 slots for some odd reason, and I haven't really used quick saving at all to understand how it works. Maybe something to look into though if you can get a quick save that only works on the same one slot.

I know you can also do manual saving from renpy.save: http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... renpy.save so another option is to re-code your save button to use this and your load button to use the load equivalent, giving you more control over how saves/loads are done.

Thanks! Crazy Li
But I still have some troubles.
Save and Load is work but I can't use renpy.can_load (filename): to check if save file exist. If file exist it'll show load game button.
When I use renpy.can_load (filename): it return false all the time.

The quick save always uses one slot, as far as I can tell after looking at the Ren'Py code.
Try this code to see if the quick-save exists or not:

Code: Select all

python:
    # Get the timestamp of the quick-save. If you can, the file exists.

    def save_exists():
        timestamp = FileTime(1,page="quick")
        if (timestamp == ""):
            return False
        else:
            return True

renpy.can_load("quick-1")

is probably the best way to test for a quickload file.

Thanks you everyone. Finally, I use save and load like this.

init python:
def datasave():
renpy.save("quick-1")
ui.text('Quicksave successful!')

def dataload():
if renpy.can_load("quick-1"):
renpy.load("quick-1")
else:
ui.text('Quickload Fails!')

in image map menu

hotspot (568, 549, 627, 571) action datasave
hotspot (654, 549, 716, 571) action dataload

main menu check conidition

if renpy.can_load("quick-1"):

in script.rpy
when start game (new game)

$ _game_menu_screen = None # To stop player from access old save/load menu
$ renpy.unlink_save("quick-1") # To remove old save data if player select new game
