Custom Save/Load screen with text instead of thumbnails [SOLVED]

[TellerFarsight]

Alrighty, so I want to make a custom file_slots screen such that it doesn't use images and thumbnails and all that. I changed it a bit so there are only 3 file slots total, and that's what you can see in the picture. What I want is for the save files to be textbuttons. In the picture I included some mock-up text for what I'm looking for. Ideally, the file will state a piece of information about where in the story they are (Scene X) which is supplied by a variable value like [current_scene] or something, and I can slightly change the way the time is written. Empty slots will also be in there labelled "empty slot." How can I do this?

Code: Select all

screen file_slots(title):
    add "gui/playbill_page2.png"
    textbutton "Return to the Show" xalign 0.7 yalign 0.9 action Return()
        
    vbox:
        style_prefix "slot"
        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5
        spacing gui.slot_spacing
        for i in range(3):
            $ slot = i + 1
            button:
                action FileAction(slot)
                text FileTime(slot, format=_("{#file_time}%A, %B %d %Y, %H:%M"), empty=_("empty slot")):
                    style "slot_time_text"
                text FileSaveName(slot):
                    style "slot_name_text"
                key "save_delete" action FileDelete(slot)

The default save screen has most of what you need. All you require is to modify the styling and remove the thumbnail.

To add a save description, use $ save_name = "Something here." Somewhere in your script.

Ended up being pretty simple. Mostly it was the old style settings getting in the way.

Code: Select all

vbox:
        style_prefix "slot"
        for i in range(3):
            $ slot = i + 1
            textbutton FileTime(slot, format=_(current_scene + " (%b %d, '%y, %I:%M%p)"), empty=_("empty")) action FileAction(slot)
