📋 About This Mod
Catch yourself F5-ing and F9-ing alot, just out of habit? Miss that in BT?
Well, look no further! No seriously, you still here? You don't want this mod!
This is crazy-ass "Hey let's use a mod that messes with save files in a bug-ridden game and a month-old
modding community, Yeah! Whoop Whoop!"
S. O. L. aims to give BT a rogue-like experience. It will auto-save during the campaign and in combat and disallow
loading. No save-scumming, no "ah let's try to get those reinforcements too", and maybe even "run awaaaay!"
from time to time.
Changelog
- V0. 6. 0
- Disable S. O. L. if vanilla Ironman campaign is played, enable if any other campaign
- Differentiate S. O. L. from Ironman on the savegames screen and disable the load button for S. O. L.
- V0. 5. 0 (Pre-Release)
- Autosaves at the start of each round in combat, deletes saves over 4
- Autosaves in simgame left unchanged, deletes saves over 4
- Saving forced on quit to menu or quit game
- No loading or saving, only continue, existing saves are not shown in-game
Big Fat Disclaimer
I wasn't kidding about BT still having a lot of bugs, and the modding community being fresh and still learning / deciding how
to handle dependencies and conflicts between mods, or decide on best practices for modding.
So maybe it's not a good idea to disable saving and loading, your game can and probably will break at some point and your
saves will be gone! Oh and did I forget to mention this is my first mod, ever, written in C#, a new language to me.
