It's open source. My general rule of thumb is "Don't be an ass". If you use it for your own, just let people know who you got it from. Don't charge money for it ever.

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.
