Post [TUTORIAL] Adding a "Load" button to your menu
RPG Maker Tutorial

Topic: Adding a Load button to the in-game menu
Creator: Melchior M. Philips
Version: VX/XP
RGSS(Scripting): Yes
Difficuty: Beginner

This tutorial will tell you step-by-step how to add the abilty to load a game whilst in one.
Regularly, making a new Menu item would take up alot of time and effort coding the menu boundaries and actual contents.
But fear not, for a Load button There's a Lazy Man's way.

NOTE: For in-depth info of what you're doing, click the spoilers.

Open the Script editor, and locate "Scene_Menu".
scroll down to where it says
Quote:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Create Command Window
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Underneath the line "s5 = Vocab::save" add the line "s7 = "Load" ".

Afterwards, change " @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])"
to " @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s7, s6])"

This will add another menu item(s7(load)) underneath s5(the save option). "Load" is the tile of the item which will be displayed.
Vocab::save indicates that it looks for the string "save" which is defined in the "Vocab" section of the script editor.
Window_Command.new(blablabla) contains the menu item order, so if you wish to change that, changes can be made there.


Scroll down further in Scene_Menu untill you find
Quote:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Update Command Selection
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Change
Quote:
when 4 # Save
$scene = Scene_File.new(true, false, false)
when 5 # End Game
$scene = Scene_End.new

to
Quote:
when 4 # Save
$scene = Scene_File.new(true, false, false)
when 5 #Load
$scene = Scene_File.new(false, false, false)
when 6 # End Game
$scene = Scene_End.new

or when using XP:
Quote:
when 5 #Load
$scene = Scene_Load.new

This will tell the script that when the 5th menu item(Load) is selected, it will display a new File Scene, which already exsists for your convinience. False, False, False is used to indicate the strings defined in File_Scene(the first checks if it's saving, the second if it's from the main menu, the third if it's triggered by an event).


aaaaaaand you're done. it's THAT easy.

Known Bugs:
- When using XP and putting "Scene_Load.new", when in the load menu and you press b(back/cancel), you will be at the main menu.


I hope you found it useful to put a Load button in your menu.

Cheers,
Melchior M. "File Slot" Philips
