It can be done using eventing alone too, but script makes the management easier.
For those interested in the eventing side, please check out that link instead.
Features:
[1] A simple way to create .txt files using preset data in the script settings.
[2] A way to open those .txt file using its default program (eg. notepad/word)
What is it useful for:
Great if you want to prevent the lost of your readme.txt and recreate it when it's missing from the game directory. Or when you want to add additional game infos using .txt when the player reach certain stages in the game. eg. special password hints for new game+
As of the new update, it's now able to check if files exist on a script call, allowing those saved files to act as global save/flags for your game.
Compatibilities:
Using new methods in this script so a conflict is unlikely to happen unless another script uses the exact same new method names in their creation.
Terms of Use:
Feel free to use it in both commercial & non-commercial project
