Changing default location of save file

[Draco456]

I'm aware that in Pokemon Empyrean, the default location for the save file is in the same folder the game is in, which is something I usually prefer since I have all my Pokemon Fan Games on a flash drive. Is there a way to do the same in Pokemon Reborn, preferably without RPG Maker XP? I don't want to have to start over every time I switch to a new computer, especially since I haven't even gotten past the 3rd gym. I'll never finish the game that way.

 

Please, no alternatives. Thanks!

You can access your save file via C:>Users>(Name)>Saved Games>Reborn
 

There, you can copy the entire folder, and save it on Gogle Drive, or in a USB

Unfortunately most RPGmaker pokemon games are forced saved into the Specific computers Saved games folder, i dont know how Empyrean managed to move its location for it
There is backup software [dropbox] that have autobackup capabilities for you to tell it to copy all contents of Saved Games>Pokemon Reborn to [drop box] every night

Scripts.rxdata

tryyyyyyy this?

i just kinda whipped it up the other day so i don't know how well it'll work, but this should just make the default save location the same as the game directory.

If you want to change the folder where your save files go, then go to Scrip folder / Compiler

 

Then, search for -------> when "Pokemon Reborn" then subfolder = "Reborn/"

 

You can either, change "Reborn/" for other folder name or add a new line like:

 

when "YourGame" then subfolder = "YourGame/" 

NOTE: This option only works if you change the Game.ini game name.

What you're changing is not the save folder, but the folder from which game-specific scripts are loaded.

 

If you want to change the save folder, try this method described by Ame:

Game Folder/scripts/SpriteWindow.rb

Line 337-- ish, maybe my version is slightly different from release?

      savewrapper = ENV['USERPROFILE'] + "/Saved Games/"
      Dir.mkdir(savewrapper) unless (File.exists?(savewrapper))
      savefolder = ENV['USERPROFILE'] + "/Saved Games/#{GAMETITLE}/"

remove the ENV['USERPROFILE'] +  part, and then replace the Saved Games bit with whatever path you need.

@Karvanha

i tried changing that line to a save path in the same folder and instead each time i attempted to load pkmn reborn i get an error message and it wouldn’t let me play until i replaced the original file and fixed the changes, was this the only method for changing save path?

@Gonual Which platform are you using? Cuz the method above only works for Windows
