Making the Continue button load last save

[Nicckonator]

Hoping someone has a piece of code that makes my main menu's continue button auto-load the last known save file, would be much appreciated.

hotspot (452,946,146,49) action ShowMenu('continue')

Doesn't work obviously xD

already fixed it in my own way since there is no proper coding for 'continue', but thankyou

Care to share your results? I'm sure a lot of readers would appreciate it.

What i did in my case though is remove the continue button entirely,

i made a custom overlay and added hotspots for those then removed the standard ren'py default buttons on the left-hand side, so i'm using an overlay with hotspots as my main menu keys.

Originally i had: continue, load, new game, settings, credits, quit

There was/is? no proper code for a continue button on the main menu and i had the "start" command assigned to my 'new game' button, which is ofcourse, what it does, it starts a new game, since i couldnt get it working though i removed the continue button and made this:

start, load, settings, credits, quit

added the start command to start button, so if you want to continue you have to go to load and click ur save file, i've seen it in multiple games/VN's and it's not a dealbreaker for me

I know you no longer need it, but the link I posted does have the code for continue, and perhaps someone else might benefit from it.
It checks whether a save file is present and loads it if so.

Code: Select all

$lastsave=renpy.newest_slot(r"\d+")
if lastsave is not None:
    $ name, page = lastsave.split("-")
    textbutton _("Continue") action FileLoad(name, page)
