Disable Save / Load and Right Click

[DaFool]

I tried looking for this in the threads, but felt the need for a fresh topic.

I want something like what was implemented in the SFK games, where the whole Save/Load routine (and right-click access to them) is totally disabled.

I feel bad because a while back JQuartz helped me implement a Quicksave function. I will still give him special thanks, but I have managed to manage the progress of my game through autosaving on persistent variables (of course that also means that you can't clear your 'progress' except by extracting a fresh copy of the game).

The game is just so open-ended and interactive, that there really isn't any point in saving at all, ever since I decided to cut back on the linear narratives to make scenes more like vignettes.

Thanks.

Try something like:

Code: Select all

init python:
    _game_menu_screen = '_prefs_screen'
    config.game_menu = [ i for i in config.main_menu if i not in ("Load Game", "Save Game") ]

Try something like:

Code: Select all

init python:
    _game_menu_screen = '_prefs_screen'
    config.game_menu = [ i for i in config.main_menu if i not in ("Load Game", "Save Game") ]

That didn't seem to get all of it out for me on 6.6 - I still had the list of saves showing up on esc/rightclick. What I wound up using was:

Code: Select all

... beginning of options.rpy ...
init -1:
    python hide:
        layout.provides('load_save')
    ... rest of options.rpy ...

        def save_load_func():
            layout.navigation('preferences')
            renpy.jump('preferences_screen')

label save_screen:
label load_screen:
    $ save_load_func()
... end of file ...

Of course, this is only good if you want to totally kill save/load. (Which is fine for Tentacularity - for other games one would want a hook to check to see if you could save and fall back to the appropriate real save screen.)
