Gothic 2 and Gothic 2 NotR) introduces auto saving.\n\nThis is a modular modification (a.k.a. patch or add-on) that can be installed and uninstalled at any time and is virtually compatible with any modification.\nIt supports \u003ckbd\u003eGothic 1\u003c/kbd\u003e, \u003ckbd\u003eGothic Sequel\u003c/kbd\u003e, \u003ckbd\u003eGothic II (Classic)\u003c/kbd\u003e and \u003ckbd\u003eGothic II: NotR\u003c/kbd\u003e.\n\n\u003csup\u003eGenerated from [szapp/patch-template](https://github.com/szapp/patch-template).\u003c/sup\u003e\n\n## About\n\nSaving occurs in fixed, adjustable intervals and only when possible.\nSaving is suspended during fights or when in threat.\nCertain events can additionally trigger auto saving, i.e chapter transitions or completing a quest.\nOne or multiple saving slots are reserved in the Gothic.ini, which are alternated for saving.\nThis allows to maintain the last X game saves, to prevent against accidental bad decisions or game save corruptions.\nIn order to always find the latest saved game, the auto saves are labeled incrementally, i.e. - Auto Save 42 -.\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e The default settings reserve the bottom three save slots\\*.\n\u003e These should be backed up or re-saved to other slots before using this patch.\n\u003e Alternatively the reserved save slots can be adjusted in the Gothic.ini before first use (see below).\n\u003e Please carefully read the section \"Notes\" below.\n\n\\* Gothic 1: savegame13, savegame14, savegame15 — Gothic 2: savegame18, savegame19, savegame20\n\n## INI settings\n\nSaving frequency, the reserved save slots and event-based saving can be adjusted in the Gothic.ini in the section `[AUTOSAVE]`.\nThis section is created after first launch.\n\n1. The interval of automatic saving can be set as integer with the setting `minutes`.\n2. The range of reserved saving slots is adjustable with `slotMin` and `slotMax`.\nIn order to only use one save slot, set both to the same value.\nSave slots are numbered from 1 to 15 (Gothic 1), and 1 to 20 (Gothic 2).\nThe number 0 represents the quick save slot.\n\u003e Example: A setting of 18 and 20 (or 13 and 15 in Gothic 1), reserves the bottom three save slots (18, 19 and 20 / 13, 14 and 15).\n3. Event-based saving can be enabled with `events=1` and disabled with `events=0`.\n\n## Notes\n\n- When reserving all save slots and setting the interval small enough, manual saving may become obsolete.\n\n- Extensive testing of different settings of the save slot reservation was difficult and **backing up the entire save game directory is highly recommended before usage of the patch!**\n\n- If another mod already implements auto saves, this patch does not take any action.\nIf it does anyway, please report it [here](https://github.com/szapp/Autosave/issues) and I will adjust the patch.\n\n- In order to show on-screen debug information, add `debug=1` to the section `[AUTOSAVE]` in the Gothic.ini.\nAside from showing the time until next saving, the reason for suspending the save is displayed.\n\n- If saving is not possible at a specific time, the save is performed as soon as possible. And afterwards again at the normal interval of X minutes after the latest save. The interval is always in relation to the most recent save. That means even when manually saving, the next automatic save will be X minutes afterwards. This avoids too frequent saves.\n\n- The default settings look like this: Save every 5 minutes and alternate over the bottom three slots.\n\n  Gothic 1\n  ```ini\n  [AUTOSAVE]\n  minutes=5\n  slotMin=13\n  slotMax=15\n  events=0\n  ```\n\n  Gothic 2\n  ```ini\n  [AUTOSAVE]\n  minutes=5\n  slotMin=18\n  slotMax=20\n  events=0\n  ```\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Download the latest release of `Autosave.vdf` from the [releases page](https://github.com/szapp/Autosave/releases/latest).\n\n2. Copy the file `Autosave.vdf` to `[Gothic]\\Data\\`. To uninstall, remove the file again.\n\nThe patch is also available on\n- [World of Gothic](https://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_637.htm) | [Forum thread](https://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1560461)\n- [Spine Mod-Manager](https://clockwork-origins.com/spine/)\n- [Steam Workshop Gothic 1](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2787012251)\n- [Steam Workshop Gothic 2](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786999914)\n\n### Requirements\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eGothic\u003c/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eGothic Sequel\u003c/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eGothic II (Classic)\u003c/th\u003e\u003cth\u003eGothic II: NotR\u003c/th\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_34.htm\"\u003eVersion 1.08k_mod\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVersion 1.12f\u003c/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_278.htm\"\u003eReport version 1.30.0.0\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_278.htm\"\u003eReport version 2.6.0.0\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"4\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/szapp/Ninja/wiki#wiki-content\"\u003eNinja 4\u003c/a\u003e or higher\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"4\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/szapp/Toolkit\"\u003eToolkit 16\u003c/a\u003e or higher\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/table\u003e\n\n\u003c!--\n\nIf you are interested in writing your own patch, please do not copy this patch!\nInstead refer to the PATCH TEMPLATE to build a foundation that is customized to your needs!\nThe patch template can found at https://github.com/szapp/patch-template.\n\n--\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fszapp%2Fautosave","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fszapp%2Fautosave","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fszapp%2Fautosave/lists"}
