Save game function

Post by sparr »

I want to be able to trigger a game save in singleplayer mode, from a mod.

Relatedly, I'd like to know the name the current game is most recently saved with.

Agreed :)

Including:
Setting Save game name on save
Reading list of saved games
Loading a named save game

There are several things that have to happen during saving to ensure the save file is valid to be loaded meaning saving can't happen during the middle of a game tick.

It hasn't happened yet because I haven't gotten around to adding a system to do post-tick saving.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
