You should consider using alias to "hook" those functions instead of overwriting them.

e.g. 
#alias the original function
class <<self; alias load_game_lglobalsave load_game; end
#override the function
def self.load_game
  #call the original function
  load_game_lglobalsave
  #do custom stuff
  LGlobalSave.load if LGlobalSave::LOAD_ON_LOAD
end


The advantage is that if another script also hooks the same functions, it may be possible for the two scripts to co-exist.

Otherwise looks good, I can see a few uses for this script like saving options, achievements etc.

Is it possible to have one file activate a switch, which then in another file it opens a door that was locked before? If so, can I get an explanation on how, I really want to use this if I can.
