About this mod

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.

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.

Requirements / Installation

- Install BattleTechModLoader using the instructions here
- Install ModTek using the instructions here
- Download the latest release from the files here or from github
- Unzip into your Mods folder
- Start a new campaign, many of your saves will be deleted on continuing and you will lose saves when you disable S.O.L.

Special thanks
As mentioned, this is my first step into modding, and I want to thank some people for showing me the ropes and supporting me during
the creation of this mod.
- Morphyum, first pro I ran into and very helpful to get me started, thanks for letting me steal many lines of code ;p
- LadyAlekto, seeing the amount of work you (and Morph) put in to [RogueTech](https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/79) was inspiring, and
the encouragement really helped getting into it!
- JF, ah JF, had many a chat about everything and absolutely nothing, good for winding down and rubber-ducking, love ya man!
- And everyone on the BattleTechGame Discord, it's great to be part of the community and I'm excited to see how
far we'll take this!
