Deleting a save data

[Keinart]

This should be pretty easy but for some reason I can't find a way

1. I can't delete a save data, I've read that pressing delete over a save slot should be enough for that but it doesn't seem to work for me. I can't really figure how to do it. It also happens for the "toggle music" when pressing "m". It doesn't work at all.

2. I would like to know how to add into my save menu a small delete save slot button. I've already read about the renpy.unlink_save(filename) function but I don't really know how to implement that into a imagemap.

I know it's not really neccesary to delete saves since you can just overwrite, but it should help if you wanna keep it tidy.

Thank you

following this post because I'd like to know too

1. To make pressing "delete" on the keyboard delete a save file, put this under screen load_save_slot in your screens.rpy:

Code: Select all

key "save_delete" action FileDelete(number)

I'm not sure about the music part, but you'll probably have to make a keymap to have m toggle the music

2. If you wanted to have a button on the save slots delete a file using imagemaps, maybe

Code: Select all

hotspot (#,#,#,#) clicked FileDelete(number)

would work, if you put this for each save slot, replacing "#" with your hotspot coordinates and "number" with the save slot numbers. Haven't tested this out, though.

It works perfectly. I really really really really thank you Haze, it couldn't work better.

The only thing I'm still missing is the key to toggle the music, I tried I couple of things but nothing yet, although I think I may be close to something. It's not a priority for me right now so I'll leave it for later.

Thank you again.

Is your Ren'py the latest version? It's possible that the toggle key didn't exist in older versions. I know 'm' does nothing in my version (6.13). Though oddly enough, the delete key still worked fine without any need for additional code.

Yes, it is the latest (6.14). Maybe something was changed from there to now and that's why it needs the extra code

6.14 is NOT the latest.
