Summary

Override Save Location v1.0 ShazIntroduction This script creates a folder with the same name as your game in the player’s AppData/Roaming folder, and subsequently puts save files in that location. This means multiple players can use the same PC, under their own profile, and keep their save files private (and safe from accidental overwriting). Players can also uninstall, reinstall or overwrite your game with a new version, and their save files will be unaffected.

Override Save Location v1.0
Shaz

Introduction
This script creates a folder with the same name as your game in the player’s AppData/Roaming folder, and subsequently puts save files in that location.

This means multiple players can use the same PC, under their own profile, and keep their save files private (and safe from accidental overwriting). Players can also uninstall, reinstall or overwrite your game with a new version, and their save files will be unaffected.

How to Use
Paste into a new script slot below Materials. That's it.

Compatibility
This script overrides the save_file_exists? and make_filename methods of DataManager. If you have scripts that alias those methods, this script should go above them. If you have scripts that overwrite those methods, you will have to compare the two and make changes to the lowest script to incorporate both lots of modifications.
