[SOLVED] How can I delete saved games?

#1 Post by Rafa »

I can delete all persistent data, but can't delete the saved games.

and when I build it carries with it the saved games used as test when developing.

Um... where are your save games located? If you have config.savedir set properly, they shouldn't be anywhere near the game data. (Save files have names like 1-LT1.save)

Ok, how can this be configured properly?

Code: Select all

python early:
    config.save_directory = "savegames"
This should create a folder called savegames and store the saves in there, right? Or I'm making a mistake in here?

Anyways, can't see the saves/folder or .save files inside the Ren'Py folder.

Sorry to post in [SOLVED] tread, but...

Can I specify some OTHER place for savegames, not the OS-specific directory used by default?

    config.save_directory = "savegames"
I put that code in my script
But I can't find where to delete the saves at
Is there a way to delete the saves from the load game menu?

No idea, I'm trying to figure that myself. Where the game stores the saves.

Even though it's said to be solved, I don't see real answer here, so I'll give out what I know.
In the code of options.rpy, there is this part:

Code: Select all

python early:
    config.save_directory = "Your game's name-1372125722"
Delete it, then there will be a "saves" folder in your game directory and all the saves are there, of course. If you're curious as to what this code does, see this: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/config.ht ... _directory.

As for the saves you already made, check here: C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\RenPy. Delete the files there then you're done.
I think the directory for other platforms are: Mac OS X: ~/Library/RenPy/save_directory
Linux/Other: ~/.renpy/save_directory

Another way to delete save is to hover you mouse on it and hit delete.

The path you specified for the location of Renpy saves will not work for all Windows users. A good alternative, which I believe should work for all Windows users would be: %appdata%\renpy
