A player customizable save/load screens with file page bookmarks for Ren'Py.

Features

  Created bookmarks automatically display their name for file pages that are in the range listed in the bookmark.

• Select file page button with player input for fast navigation. Also, additional buttons for quick navigation through file pages by 10-100 pages and by bookmarks.

• Changeable number of save slots per file page (at the cost of slot size) and font size (customizable by the player)

• It can also be used as a mod for finished games (at your own risk) if they use fileslot screen in similar way.

Adding the module to the Ren'Py project

• Just put customizable_save_load.rpy in game directory
• (Optional) Delete save, load and fileslot screens in screens.rpy

Screenshots

NOTE

Since the number of save slots per file page is changeable, the save screenshots (thumbnails) and slot button images (slot_idle_background.png and slot_hover_background.png) needs to be resized. Thus, two things should be considered:

• Save screenshots may drop in quality when resizing. It is recommended that the player set the preferred cols and rows number of save slots before playing to avoid future resizing.
• Resizing is implemented based on default Ren'Py screen aspect ratio and default size ratios of the save screenshot and slot button and their relative position

Recommended size for slot_idle_background.png and slot_hover_background.png and positioning of the blank screenshot image

Resolution aspect ratio (16:9). For example: 1024x576, 1280x720, 1920x1080

Option 1 - Default size:

This size equals to the size for 2 rows and 3 cols settings. In this case, the largest image (1 row x 1 col) is doubled and the smallest (4 rows x 5 cols) is halved.

• Width of save screenshots = screen_width * 0.2
• Height of save screenshots = screen_height * 0.2
• Width of file slot (width of slot_idle_background.png) = screen_width * (0.2 + 1/64)
• Height of file slot (height of slot_idle_background.png) = screen_height * (0.2 + 62/720)
• Save screenshot offset (x and y) = screen_width * (1/128)

Examples:

• Resolution 1024x576
  • Screenshot_width = 205
  • Screenshot_height = 116
  • file_slot_width = 221
  • file_slot_height = 165
  • Offset = 8
• Resolution 1280x720
  • Screenshot_width = 256
  • Screenshot_height = 144
  • file_slot_width = 276
  • file_slot_height = 206
  • Offset = 10
• Resolution 1920x1080
  • Screenshot_width = 384
  • Screenshot_height = 216
  • file_slot_width = 414
  • file_slot_height = 309
  • Offset = 15

Option 2 - Large size:

This size equals to the size for 1 rows and 1 cols settings. In this case, the medium image (2 row x 3 col) is halved and the smallest (4 rows x 5 cols) is quartered.

All default sizes are doubled

Examples:

• Resolution 1024x576
  • Screenshot_width = 410
  • Screenshot_height = 232
  • file_slot_width = 442
  • file_slot_height = 330
  • Offset = 16
• Resolution 1280x720
  • Screenshot_width = 512
  • Screenshot_height = 288
  • file_slot_width = 552
  • file_slot_height = 412
  • Offset = 20
• Resolution 1920x1080
  • Screenshot_width = 768
  • Screenshot_height = 432
  • file_slot_width = 828
  • file_slot_height = 618
  • Offset = 30
