Edit Save File Link — Renpy

Use a small Ren’Py script or the Ren’Py console inside the game:

Ren’Py saves are pickled data (Python’s serialization). You cannot open them with Notepad. renpy edit save file link

You need one of these tools:

Example: A cheating screen to edit money: Use a small Ren’Py script or the Ren’Py

screen edit_saves():
    vbox:
        text "Current Money: [money]"
        input value VariableInputValue("money")
        textbutton "Force Save" action FileSave(1)

If you only want this link to appear for you (the developer) and not for players playing the final build, you can wrap the button in a check for config.developer. Example: A cheating screen to edit money: screen

if config.developer:
    textbutton _("Open Save Folder") action OpenDirectory(renpy.config.savedir)

This creates a cleaner UI for your release builds while keeping the tool handy during development.
