Zerkish AutoSave (For OpenMW)

Zerkish AutoSave

Please remember to endorse the mod if you enjoy it!

Zerkish AutoSave is currently in "beta", which means that most of the core functionality is in place but it is not well tested yet.

This means use at your own risk, and save frequently.

Bug reports are encouraged!

Information

Zerkish AutoSave is a simple autosave mod for OpenMW.

The goal is to provide a mod that guarantees saves are made close to the timespan provided by the player.

!Important! Do not label your manual saves 'ZSave###' or they will be overwritten/deleted by the mod.

Due to the critical nature of a save mod, I suggest making manual saves, and backups.

• []Maintain a configurable number of save slots (Default 5)

  []Optional AutoSave on a time interval, tracked by real-time. This means time spent in menus does count toward the autosave timer. (Default 15 minutes)

  []Optional AutoSave on entering a new area/cell, with a delay configurable in settings. Going from exterior->exterior is not considered a new area. (Default 30 seconds)

  []AutoSave Verification: After saving, the mod will keep checking to ensure the save was actually made, and if not retry again asap.
