SaveDForest 1.0 by Capt.SkuLL (NEXTSUS2021)
version 1.0 ( copied from my Sekiro - Shadow's Die Twice SEKIROSAVE )
Created with AUTOIT
Windows x64
STEAM VERSION !!!
PLEASE ENDORSE the mod or POST a comment so i can help you with the mod.
NOTE : THIS MOD will NOT automatically BACKUP your SAVES each time you SAVE in-game as that would be resource intensive and may affect your game.
INSTEAD, THIS MOD will wait for you to press the KEYS for QUICKSAVE or MANUALSAVE before it can copy your save files into a NEW directory.
NOTE : IT WILL backup both your SINGLEPLAYER and MULTIPLAYER folders together in a new folder. so before you LOAD from BACKUP folder be aware it will load both the SINGLEPLAYER and MULTIPLAYER saves from that folder.
AFTER you SAVE your game from within the game, you can press F5 (by default) to backup your changes to a new directory.
HOTKEYS :
F5 - QUICKSAVE ( instantly create a backup of your SAVE using Date and Time as save name
F6 - QUICKLOAD ( LOAD the last copy that you CREATED with QUICKSAVE/CUSTOMSAVE or LOADED.)
F7 - OPEN FOLDER WHERE BACKUP IS STORED
F8 - OPEN SaveDForest MENU ( for CUSTOM SAVE and CUSTOM LOAD )
Description :
This is a simplified SAVE Backup Utility for The Forest.
allowing the player to create backup copies of the game's save files while in-game.
How it works :
Game SAVE folders are basically just folders that you need to copy and paste elsewhere. you can do this manually without mods.
This mod does that for you so you don't have to manually do it.
it copies the SAVE folder into a Folder collection of other SAVES that you created. Each with own TIMESTAMP or a custom name you provided.
How to INSTALL :
- Download the ZIP file in the download section, extract the files and copy the folder "_SaveDForest" into your The Forest Install Directory,
which is usually in your steam folder under steamapps/common/TheForest.
The _SaveDForest folder contains the following ;
_SAVEDGAMES folder where all your BACKUP SAVES will be stored using this mod.
an SFX folder for keypress sounds. you can check the sound files they are just basically Windows chimes you can change them.
a SaveDForest.ini file that contains some configurations that you can change if you know how, like MAX number of SAVES etc.
and this README file.
- After downloading and copying the files to your Game install directory, CHANGE your game's shortcut in the desktop to point to the
SaveDForest.exe in the _SaveDForest folder instead. this way, when you run the game you only have to CLICK one shortcut
and it will do the rest ( run TheForest.exe then run the SaveDForest.exe )
How to USE :
F5 ( QUICK SAVE ) - Pressing the F5 button on your keyboard activates the QUICK SAVE where it will backup a copy
of your SAVE folder using DATE and TIME as the name of the folder. Any SAVE or LOAD you make will be marked as the "Last Folder
Accessed".
F6 ( QUICK LOAD ) - Pressing the F6 button on your keyboard activates the QUICK LOAD where it will LOAD your last
SAVE/last LOAD ( "Last Folder Accessed" ). it will wait for you to EXIT TheForest.exe, LOAD your SAVE,
then RUN TheForest.exe again.
F7 - OPEN FOLDER WHERE BACKUP IS STORED.
F8 ( MENU ) - Pressing the F8 button brings up the MENU.
The MENU provides the following options ;
SAVE- this is a CUSTOM SAVE where you backup your current SAVE folder with a NAME of your choice.
LOAD- this is a CUSTOM LOAD where you can SELECT a specific SAVE folder to LOAD instead of the Last Saved.
LOAD and QUIT - this is similar to LOAD but after it loads it quits everything instead of Launching the GAME again.
OPEN SAVED FOLDERS - a shortcut to the BACKUP location of all your SAVED folders.
NOTES :
- When you LOAD a copy you will HEAR a never ending windows CHIME (sound) in the background, its waiting for you to PROPERLY
exit the GAME by going to the menu and EXIT GAME.
- the MOD no longer terminates the game for you as it is prone to file corruption.
The MAIN mod is created using AUTOIT. AUTOIT files are basically notepad files that are saved with an "au3" extension.
IF you don't feel safe using this MOD but wanted to use it anyway, just give me a PM and i can send you the raw notepad version of the
codes which you can then compile with AUTOIT yourself. this way you can check the codes to see if anything are there that is suspicious.
DO NOT rename _SAVEDGAMES folder and the SaveDForest.exe files. those names are hard coded in the .au3 file.
the _SaveDForest folder must be in the install directory where TheForest.exe is located.
That is all
Thanks !
