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?
