Hi all,

With this plugin, you can have more control over autosaving. This includes turning on/off map and battle autosave functionality individually, whereas the built in autosave either is ON or OFF in every situation.

Autosave Window

This plugin allows you to show a brief Autosaving... window on the screen while the game autosaves. See below gif for how it can look, though you can completely customize this window to your liking.


Autosave File

This plugin allows you to have control which save file the autosave will save over, including the player's current save file. These options take into account things like a new game where there is not yet a current save file.

Control During Gameplay

This plugin comes with some new plugin commands to force an autosave, which can optionally ignore if autosaving in that situation is turned On or Off. Another plugin command is to turn either transfer of battle autosaves on/off mid-game. This might be useful if you want autosaves to occur in towns and other safe areas, but not in dungeons and other dangerous areas, for example.

Integrations

This plugin has special functionality when used with other [CGMZ] plugins:

[CGMZ] Quest System - Autosave after quest complete / failure

[CGMZ] Professions - Autosave after profession level up

[CGMZ] Window Backgrounds - Show a background image in the autosaving window, including an animated scrolling parallax

does this allow for games with autosaves to the save file the game was made in? sorta like stardew valley. like a single save file for every run.

Hi, not currently but I can add it to my to do list for the future. Just to be clear, you want it to autosave but to the save slot the player is currently playing?

Just curious if this was added?

Hi, it has not been added.

Hi, just wanted to update you on this, I updated the plugin today to allow autosave to save over the current save file along with a few more options.
