Softly v0.0.4

A Soft Save System for ChoiceScript

Softly reads the startup.txt file of your game and generates a pluggable boilerplate implementation of a vanilla save system. Control it internally at checkpoints or allow players to save at any time.

A soft save system only works for global variables. Another caveat is that the number of variables your game uses scales with the number of save slots available.

If you run this generator again with the same file, remember to remove the previous generated variables from startup.txt.

You only need to upload the startup.txt file. Softly won't mess your game files 😁.

Upload

Prefix: the word to be affixed to the generated variables. By default it's "savesys". Must follow the same rules as ChoiceScript variable names.
Slots: the number of slots to be generated. Note that total number of variables in your game will grow proportionally to the number of slots.
Variables: you can deselect variables, for example, those which remains constant and do not need to be backed up, such as character name or pronouns. These variables won't be included in the save system.
Filter: you can use the filter to help locate variables. When you filter the table, the variables keep their state, either selected or deselected, even if they are not showing up!

Your soft save system is ready!

Copy the contents of "variables.txt" to your startup.
Drop the file "savesys.txt" into your scenes folder. Do not rename it!
If you run this generator again with the same file, remember to remove the previous generated variables from startup.txt.
That's it! 🥳
