how can i create new game textbutton in main menu and delete all saves game

Code: Select all

init python:
  def fileDeleteAll():
    for s in renpy.list_saved_games():
      renpy.unlink_save(s[0])
  
  def FileDeleteAll(confirm=True, message=_("Do you really wish to delete all your saved games?")):
    action = Function(fileDeleteAll)
    
    if confirm:
      action = Confirm(message, action)
      
    return action
    
screen your_screen():
  textbutton "Delete All Saved Games":
    action FileDeleteAll()

all the persistent data in the game ?

Code: Select all

screen your_screen():
  textbutton "Clear Persistent":
    action Function(persistent._clear, True)

create new game in main menu that delete all save game and persistent data

combining the two, you could come up with this.

Code: Select all

init python:
  def fileDeleteAll():
    for s in renpy.list_saved_games():
      renpy.unlink_save(s[0])

  def newGame(*args, **kwargs):
    persistent._clear(True)
    fileDeleteAll()
    renpy.run(Start(*args, **kwargs))

  def NewGame(*args, **kwargs): return Function(newGame, *args, **kwargs)

screen your_screen():
  textbutton "New Game":
    action NewGame() # once clicked it should go to the label `start`, of your script

Are you trying to do something like the otome game Nameless? There, when playing the second hidden route, the game "deletes" all your data, but gives it back once you clear that route. In case you want to do something like that, I'd be much more careful with actually deleting stuff, rather just hide it.

oh it works ! salamat po para sa thesis

on load game, the quick save up to the other page together with the persistent data are all deleted, it all works thanks to that.

but except in the automatic save's part is not deleted, do you know about that?

um its not like that, all i want is when the user create new game its like the game will restart from the beginning and all the save game and persistent data will lost or deleted. even the automatic saves

I assume you will inform the player before they do so, otherwise I can sense a lot of hatred and harassment may be directed at you from your players. People don't take well to save file deletions, especially unexpected ones.

[cheonbyeol]

I second what Imperf3kt says.
I suggest you warn them when they start the first game already, so they know when to make the saves so they can explore branches without restarting.
When you delete persistent data, also the data of which lines have been seen is lost, so they can't even "skip read text".
Plus, if they unlocked CGs and stuff...
Well, that's all unless the point is exactly to mess with the player...? But the game should probably disclaim that.

I tried the code seems to work for all saved games. The thing is renpy automatically creates the autosave slots once you try to exit the game. You can confirm that by checking the saves folder after trying to press the x button on the window, also autosave occurs at a certain point in time, maybe every 10 mins, I forgot the exact time, but I know its documented somewhere (try searching for renpy config variables). So maybe that's why you thought that it does not do its job after you closed the game.
If you want to disable autosave you can try putting in your code `define config.has_autosave = False`.

Good luck as thesis nyo ^^. Nasa plano ko rin na gamitin Ren'Py samin e haha.
