Hello all I'm Deltafall, and I'm gonna teach you a little scripting, The following tutorial is an original by me and unfortuanately " for some people" this has nothing to do with modding games.
Anyway...
Lets get started
Open RPG Maker XP and create/load a project.
Click on tools and then access the script editor.
Once it opens you'll find a very confusing looking amount of words and sentences.
Just go down do "scene_menu" and click on it.(DUH!!!)
You'll find in there alot of wording like this:
#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Menu
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This class performs menu screen processing.
#==============================================================================
class Scene_Menu
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Object Initialization
# menu_index : command cursor's initial position
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize(menu_index = 0)
@menu_index = menu_index
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Main Processing
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main
# Make command window
s1 = $data_system.words.item
s2 = $data_system.words.skill
s3 = $data_system.words.equip
s4 = "Status"
s5 = "Save"
s6 = "End Game"
@command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
@command_window.index = @menu_index
# If number of party members is 0
if $game_party.actors.size == 0
# Disable items, skills, equipment, and status
@command_window.disable_item(0)
@command_window.disable_item(1)
@command_window.disable_item(2)
@command_window.disable_item(3)
end
# If save is forbidden
if $game_system.save_disabled
# Disable save
@command_window.disable_item(4)
end
# Make play time window
@playtime_window = Window_PlayTime.new
@playtime_window.x = 0
@playtime_window.y = 224
# Make steps window
@steps_window = Window_Steps.new
@steps_window.x = 0
@steps_window.y = 320
# Make gold window
@gold_window = Window_Gold.new
@gold_window.x = 0
@gold_window.y = 416
# Make status window
@status_window = Window_MenuStatus.new
@status_window.x = 160
@status_window.y = 0
# Execute transition
Graphics.transition
# Main loop
loop do
# Update game screen
Graphics.update
# Update input information
Input.update
# Frame update
update
# Abort loop if screen is changed
if $scene != self
break
end
end
# Prepare for transition
Graphics.freeze
# Dispose of windows

@playtime_window.dispose

@gold_window.dispose

end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Frame Update

# Update windows

@playtime_window.update
@steps_window.update

# If command window is active: call update_command
if @command_window.active

return
end
# If status window is active: call update_status
if @status_window.active
update_status
return
end
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Frame Update (when command window is active)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update_command
# If B button was pressed
if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
# Play cancel SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
# Switch to map screen
$scene = Scene_Map.new
return
end
# If C button was pressed
if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
# If command other than save or end game, and party members = 0
if $game_party.actors.size == 0 and @command_window.index < 4
# Play buzzer SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
return
end
# Branch by command window cursor position

end
return
end
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Frame Update (when status window is active)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update_status
# If B button was pressed

return
end
# If C button was pressed

# Branch by command window cursor position
case @command_window.index
when 1 # skill
# If this actor's action limit is 2 or more
if $game_party.actors[@status_window.index].restriction >= 2
# Play buzzer SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
return
end
# Play decision SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# Switch to skill screen
$scene = Scene_Skill.new(@status_window.index)
when 2 # equipment
# Play decision SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# Switch to equipment screen
$scene = Scene_Equip.new(@status_window.index)
when 3 # status
# Play decision SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# Switch to status screen
$scene = Scene_Status.new(@status_window.index)
end
return
end
end
end
Here the magic begins
Ok scroll down to the following:
s5 = "Save"
and delete that line, then replace
s6 = "Eng Game"
with
s5 = "End Game"
and delete the "s6" from
@command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
after that is done, scroll down to and delete:
when 4 # save
# If saving is forbidden
if $game_system.save_disabled
# Play buzzer SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
return
end
# Play decision SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# Switch to save screen
$scene = Scene_Save.new
Then replace the
When 5 # End Game
with
When 4 # End Game
Now the script should look something like this"Sorry another long one":

And there we go, all done, just save it and test your game.
The save button should have disappeared.
Enjoy and hope you use it well in the future.
I'm not sure if anyone else has done the save removal because I did this one myself.
LOL Forgot to say but contact me if it deosn't work, and please pm me the script so I can see what's wrong. Thanks
Finally a good tutorial! Thanks for making the tutorial ;D
