This script is by Deke. I only added one little feature and changed the title screen to something more normal.

 I asked Deke if I could post his script here, and he said yes, so here goes this old but cool script !

This script allows you to do a new game + as in Chrono Trigger...

Instruction on how to use it will follow. First thing first, create a new script page just above MAIN (call it New_Game+) and paste that code in it (You will have to add another one after that.)

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ¦ Scene_New_Game_Plus (coded by Deke)
#     This purpose of this class is to allow the player to restart the game using saved characters if
#      they have completed the game with that party.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# A new feature (small one) was added by myself (Dubealex) to enable a
# count of the number of times you finished the game.
# Copy the lines between my comments and paste them in your original script,
# or simply use that full one.

class Scene_New_Game_Plus<Scene_Load
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize
 #You need to add the following line:
 @game_completion_count=0
 #ENd of the line to copy.
 $game_temp = Game_Temp.new
 $game_temp.last_file_index = 0
 latest_time = Time.at(0)
 for i in 0..3
   filename = make_filename(i)
   if FileTest.exist?(filename)
     file = File.open(filename, "r")
     if file.mtime > latest_time
       latest_time = file.mtime
       $game_temp.last_file_index = i
     end
     file.close
   end
 end
 @help_text="Which adventure would you like to begin again"
end

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#This method checks to see if the selected game file has completed the game.
#  (A completed game is indicated by turning switch 1 ON.)

def game_completed(filename)
 file = File.open(filename, "rb")
 read_save_data(file)
 file.close
 return($game_switches[1])
end

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#This method is identical to the one of the same name in the Scene_Load class, with the
#the added effect of reseting the maps, switches,...

def on_decision(filename)
 unless FileTest.exist?(filename)
   $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
   return
 end
 $game_system.se_play($data_system.load_se)
 file = File.open(filename, "rb")
 read_save_data(file)
 file.close
if ! game_completed(filename)
  $scene=Scene_New_Game_Plus.new
  return
end

#New code to copy for the "Game Completion Count" feature.
#Begin copying here, and stop at my other comments.
#You also need to copy line #15, shown by a comment also.
@game_completion_count=$game_variables[1]
$game_variables     = Game_Variables.new  
$game_temp          = Game_Temp.new
#$game_system        = Game_System.new
$game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
$game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new
$game_screen        = Game_Screen.new
#$game_actors        = Game_Actors.new
#$game_party         = Game_Party.new
$game_troop         = Game_Troop.new
$game_map           = Game_Map.new
#$game_player        = Game_Player.new
#$game_party.setup_starting_members
$game_map.setup($data_system.start_map_id)
$game_player.moveto($data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y)
$game_player.refresh
$game_map.autoplay
$scene = Scene_Map.new
$game_system.bgm_play($game_system.playing_bgm)
$game_system.bgs_play($game_system.playing_bgs)
$game_map.update
$game_switches[1]=true #Since the switches were all reset, this one need to
                                    #be turned back on to indicate the game was completed.
$game_variables[1]=@game_completion_count
#Stop copying new "Game Completion Count" here.

end

end

Now you need to completely replace your Scene_Title by this new code. If you have modified your scene_title already, back-up your scene, and re-add your modification into this new script. It will be a good scripting practice...

Code to add replacing the old Scene_Title:

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ¦ Scene_Title
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  New Game + EDITION
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Title
def main
if $BTEST
  battle_test
  return

end
end

Okay, to use this, you need to free up the game variable ID#1 and the switch ID#1. If you really cannot free them for the script, you will have to replace the ID# from within the script. To do so, search the following lines in the script:

Code:

$game_switches[1]
$game_variables[1]

And replace the ID# between [ ] by the ID# you wish to be using for the script.

Ok, now, in order to use this, all you need to do is when your game ends, whether during the ending story or after the boss is defeated, you must turn your switch TRUE and add 1 (+1) to your variable. After that, you must ask the player to save the game, it is recommended to open the save menu for him and tell him to save.

Then, after the game was completed, he can use the New Game + option from the title menu and continue a saved game from the beggining with all his items and powers, as in Chrono Trigger.

Have Fun !
