I'm updating an old save/load script, and I wanted to know if the 50 save games limit was still around. I searched but I couldn't find an up-to-date answer.

You must be referring to this:
QuoteFillSaveGameList
(Formerly known as ListBoxSaveGameList, which is now obsolete)
ListBox.FillSaveGameList()
...
NOTE: The save game list can only hold 50 save games. If ListBox.ItemCount returns 50 and you are doing a Save dialog box, you may want to make the user replace an existing file rather than saving a new one.
The save/restore/delete functions though I can confirm all work at least up to save slots of 998 (999 is used for ResetGame). A ListBox can only hold up to 200 items. How many save slots are you looking at?
You could do something like this:
void FillSaveSlotCount(this ListBox*, char count)
{
if (count > 200) count = 200;
this.Clear();
int i = 0;
while (i < count)
{
String item = String.Format("%d.", i);
String desc = Game.GetSaveSlotDescription(i);
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(desc)) item = item.Append(desc);
this.AddItem(item);
i++;
}
}Usage:
lstSaves.FillSaveSlotCount(99); // fills lstSaves with 99 save slot descriptions
Yes, that's the bit which had me worried.
I'll try out that script. Thanks for the guidance!
