When the game SAVES your progress you can then either QUICKSAVE or CUSTOM SAVE from the MOD to create a backup copy of that GAME SAVE.
POINTS WHERE THE GAME SAVES :
- Whenever you see the in-game notification on the upper right corner of your screen it means the GAME is saving your progress.
so use the mod's QUICKSAVE and CUSTOM SAVE options to create a backup copy of your progress.
- you can trigger the game to SAVE your progress by going to the SETTINGS menu and just change some values ON and OFF like subtitles.
- When quitting the game to the Main menu, the game SAVES your PROGRESS.
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 SOD2SAVE MENU ( for CUSTOM SAVE and CUSTOM LOAD )
WARNING !
PLEASE only CREATE a backup copy of your SAVE after you see that your game progress is SAVED by the game ( spinning cog notification in screen)
Description :
This is a simplified SAVE Backup Utility for State of Decay 2.
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 "_SOD2SAVE" folder into your State of Decay 2 Install Directory.
The _SOD2SAVE 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 SOD2SAVE.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 from pointing to
StateOfDecay2.exe to pointing to the SOD2SAVE.exe in the _SOD2SAVE folder instead. this way, when you run the game you
only have to CLICK one shortcut and it will do the rest ( run StateOfDecay2.exe then run the Sod2save.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 StateOfDecay2.exe, LOAD your SAVE,
then RUN StateOfDecay2.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 _SOD2SAVE folder and the Sod2save.exe files. those names are hard coded in the .au3 file.
the _SOD2SAVE folder must be in the install directory where StateOfDecay2.exe is situated.
That is all
