Introduction

The Save Core plugin adds upon the existing functionality of how savesoperate in RPG Maker MZ and how the Save Menu appears in-game. Control overautosaves is also provided by this plugin as well as the ability to makeGlobal Switches and Variables accessible across all game saves (includingnew games).

Features include all (but not limited to) the following:

• Save file technicalities including how filenames are made and or how forage keys are labeled to distinguish games from one another.
• Save types (standard, slot-locked, or single) to change saving to be suited for each game type.
• Save confirmation window added to relay information to player on whether or not a save has been made successfully.
• Global Switches and Variables that span across all saves and new games.
• Control over how autosaves handle (their own file, save over existing files, and/or both).
• Plugin Commands that enable/disable autosaves and forcefully activate them or request them.
• Change up how the Save Menu appears with various save styles.
• Add descriptions and pictures to the save files.

Requirements

This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterationsof RPG Maker.

Tier 1

This plugin is a Tier 1 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library.

Global Switches and Global Variables

Global Switches and Global Variables are now added into the game engine viathis plugin. Global Switches and Global Variables exist in the same stateacross all save files. This means if Switch 40 is declared to be a GlobalSwitch and is turned ON, then whether you start up a new game or open adifferent save file, Switch 40 will be in the ON state. Similar will occurwith Global Variables.

---

To declare Global Switches and/or Global Variables, insert <Global> intothe Switch/Variable's name. That's all there is to it. Whatever value youchange the Global Switch/Variable to after declaring it will be changedacross all saves.

---

NOTE: Tagged Switches/Variables are mutually exclusive from one another.You cannot tag them with <Global>, <JS>, or <Self> simultaneously.
