BG3_autosaver - A Python autosave script for Baldur's Gate 3

This is a Python tool that autosaves at regular intervals when `Baldur's Gate 3` is in focus.

How to use this tool

Installing the requirements:

Install Python 3 if it's not already installed

Install `pip`

In a console window, navigate to the folder that has `requirements.txt` in it

Run 'pip install -r requirements.txt`

Running the tool:

Open a console window

navigate to the folder where you saved `BG3_autosaver.py`

Run `python3 BG3_autosaver.py`

The tool will begin to countdown to the next save. The default interval is 5 minutes (300 seconds)

To change the interval at which it saves, use the argument `--i` and the number in seconds that you'd like to regularly save For example: to save every 30 seconds, run `python3 BG3_autosaver.py --i 30`

To stop the script press `ctrl+c` in the console window where it is running

This tool searches for the running process `bg3.exe` and checks if it is in focus before pressing `f5` to quicksave. This way the tool won't accidentally refresh your browser pages while the game isn't focused.
