Location of save file in rpgm

[1entanglement1]

In the rpgmaker games i downloaded, i nearly always use the index.html to play since im not using windows. there is also a folder called "save" in the "www" folder, and I thought thats where the save file are located. However, even if i completely remove the folder "save" the save files still exist and i can still load within game. Did I do something wrong? cuz now i cant load any full save i download cuz i dont know where to replace them.


Im using mac if thats any help/

TLDR: Where the saves for rpgm games actual locate?

Usually they are inside /www but some devs change the default location, so your best bet is to ask directly in the game thread of the game you are talking about.

maybe its because im using index.html to play? would that change anything? because all the game that i play directly have their save files in folder save. only the games that i play using index.html have their save file nothing related to the save folder. i don't think its an individual thing because in the index.html load screen for any game, all saves are stored together. for example you can see game A save file taking slot 1 while you are loading from game B. and you have to overwrite to save in slot 1. even if i delete the game A entirely and i open another game B using index.html, the save file for the deleted game A is still there when i try to load Game B .

Possibly, don't index.html runs the game directly with your browser? That might explain why saves of different games are overwriting eachother.

Anyways, if you are on mac right after saving a game try opening a terminal and type:
find . -mmin -10
This command should show all files that have been modified in the last 10 minutes assuming you saved your game less than 10 minutes ago the save location should show up there.

It do, through nw.js

Well, a browser is a weapon pointed right to you heart. Imagine if it could access whatever he want on your hard drive, either in reading ("is it a password file ? Hmm, I'll send it to me"), or in writing ("do you want my virus ? Yes, you want my virus"). Even while using an HTML page initially located in your own computer, it can perfectly works "online" since the said page can be full of links pointing to the web.

Modern browser can store data, it's how Twine works by example, but it need a file name for those saves to be unique. I guess that by default RPG Maker, or directly nw.js, use a generic file name and that few, if not none, creators change it.
