Hey, wondering where you've been.
Screen doctored to show the ability to greatly customize.
Had a little fun today... I decided... make the save game files include a screenshot of the field map the party is in.
Impossible? Clearly not. Granted, the "Marshall Load" system is designed for text-based content and actively REFUSES to save bitmap files. So... this may sound weird... but I converted the bitmap data into text files so they can get slipped into the saves. I used a trick I figured out when I made Kichi's Kashed Audio which lets you compress your game audio with the rest of the rgsaad file.
Of course, I set up the save-system with a configuration page, so you could adjust the placement of a ton of stuff.
Now I have some things to work out. When you want to load a game from a long list of saves, the cursor should look and highlight the last save you made. It isn't. It's going to the first in the list... daaaang. And currently, it is set up only for two save-files visible in the screen at a time. There's no way to allow for the screen captures to be visible in a four-save display. But I will see about option for a three-save option.
