Neo Save System-like for ace v2

じ☆ve冰风

Hi everyone,

Remember the Neo Save System from rpg maker vx that greatly improved the save menu interface? I did not find anything looking like this for VX ace, so I decided to code it.
Using Yanfly Save Manager to have a better interface and Zeus81 Bitmap Export, it adds a picture of the map that is displayed in the save/load menu.
For space reasons, I removed some data from Yanfly Save Manager and kept only the gold, the time, the name of the location and the characters like this:





(text here is in french but all the vocab is defined by your system or Yanfly Save Manager)

How to use
This script is not a standalone, it requires both:
-Yanfly Ace Save Engine
-Zeus81 Bitmap Export

Put the script after the two required scripts and before main.
You may change the constant in module NeoSave to change the height of the screenshot displayed or the color or the size of the border around it.

Spoiler: Latest version of the script

Spoiler: Older version: v1.2

This previous version saved the screenshot as a .png file, this behavior is no longer present in subsequent versions.

The script should work but feel free to report any bug or if there is already a better implementation please tell me!

EDIT: updated to version 1.1, it does not change anything except that the 'screenshot' may now be called from oustide of the Scene_Map class
EDIT 09/05/2025: updated to version 1.2 to have a black border around the map
EDIT 10/05/2025: fixed the script in the post (forgot the code environment ~)
EDIT 11/09/2025: updated to v2 to integrate the picture into the savefile
