[RMMV] SAVE FILE DESCRIPTION

author=Marrend
The sub-thought in my head is that you could do something like...

DataManager.makeSavefileInfo = function() {
    var info = {};
    info.globalId   = this._globalId;
    info.title      = $dataSystem.gameTitle;
    info.characters = $gameParty.charactersForSavefile();
    info.faces      = $gameParty.facesForSavefile();
    info.playtime   = $gameSystem.playtimeText();
    info.timestamp  = Date.now();
    info.switches   = $gameSwitches;
    return info;
};

Window_SavefileList.prototype.drawItem = function(index) {
    var id = index + 1;
    var valid = DataManager.isThisGameFile(id);
    var info = DataManager.loadSavefileInfo(id);
    var rect = this.itemRectForText(index);
    this.resetTextColor();
    if (this._mode === 'load') {
        this.changePaintOpacity(valid);
    }
    this.drawFileId(id, rect.x, rect.y);
    if (info) {
        this.changePaintOpacity(valid);
        this.drawContents(info, rect, valid);
        this.changePaintOpacity(true);
    }

    if ($gameSwitches.value(36)) {
        "Anzu"
        } else {
        "Anzu"
        }
};

Well, if I want to be honest, I'd suggest making a new JS file, and add the resulting file into the project with the plug-in manager. That way, the default programming still exists. In the worst-case scenario where you'd end up removing the snippet, you'd still have that original programming in case something goes amiss.

And to be fair, it's not a complete code, so a copy-paste shouldn't necessarily work to begin with, even if you did write it into rpg_windows.js.

Like, how to make a plugin at all? You can use NotePad, WordPad, or like software. I've seen plugins that just plow right into the code, and no fluff. I've also seen plugins with headers (out of lack of a better term to use) that look something like...

/*
* @plugindesc Save File Description
* @author Marrend
* @help
* Makes save files relay more information when selected.
*/

...this. Writing a header might be useful to identify the plugin in your project's plugin manager, but, it might also depend on how many other plugins you have as well. If you do have a header, the code would be after it. If not, well, you just... write the code?
