Resource Soft Reset Without Going to Main Menu/Title 1.0

artzoyd submitted a new resource:

Soft Reset Without Going to Main Menu/Title - useful for going back to most recent save point quickly

I made some code that makes it so you can run an in game event command that has basically the same functionality as "Continue Game" in the main title menu. When run in game it loads your most recent save data automatically and seamlessly. I did this to create a faster soft reset and be able to call it from an ingame event.

Code works for Essentials v21.1, unclear if this would work for older versions of essentials given the ways in which scene code has changed.

Please...

Great idea to bypass the loading screen to save time.
I mainly see the use case for players who like to shiny hunt specific encounters like legendaries.
I mapped your script to F7 to soft reset by button press, it works well on the overworld but sadly doesn't work in battles.
That would be a big benefit for the script.
I understand if you dont want to invest time to do this, but I thought you'd like some feedback :)

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate this note.

So I tried to do this and the problem I'm running into right now (and maybe a better ruby programmer would know how to handle this) is that unlike F12 which just resets the game entirely (which is an RPGMXP thing not an essentials thing so its not even in the code), an F7 command that does this would need to handle each scene individually. I even tried making it only be triggerable in the command scene (when you can choose to fight, bag, pokemon, or run) as just another option in that scene and that didnt even seem to work, not to mention that there could be plugins messing with things in those scenes.

If anyone reads this and has an idea of how to solve it, I'll make the changes and credit them on the page.

artzoyd updated Soft Reset Without Going to Main Menu/Title with a new update entry:

adding F7 hotkey compatibility and removing visual bugs when using ENLS's Fancy Camera

EDIT: Added F7 hotkey compatibility for when the overworld (currently cannot figure out how to use the hotkey in other scenes like the battle scene or bag scene)
EDIT: Added compatibility for ENLS's Fancy Camera which in the previous version was creating graphical artifacts for a couple seconds when reloading previous save data
