[Win] KSP mini tool - automatic backups and more

[redsh]

Maybe someone find this useful...

What it does:

• Backs up existing persistent.sfs or quicksave.sfs before game rewrites them.
• Backs up previous versions of craft files when saving crafts.
• Deletes old backups after reaching specified amount of them (you can specify -1 to prevent deleting).
• Optionally changes screenshot filenames from screenshot###.png to ksp_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.png to keep them always sorted.

How to use:

You need to launch game through this tool. Specify path to KSP.exe and press "Run KSP". All patches will be done in memory, nothing will be changed in game folder (except written backups). Note that tool doesn't depends of game code and so can work with any version of game while file names remains the same. Tool can be also started with /run command line key to skip GUI and start game immediately.

Backed up quicksave or persistent file can be restored simply with Alt-F9.

Previous versions of craft files saved as craftname_timestamp.bak. You should manually rename them to craftname.craft to restore.

Limitations:

• Windows only (tested under Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit).
• 32-bit version of game only.

Great programme!

Bit of a necro there. If you want a modern tool that runs in-game instead of as a separate application, Dated Quick Saves can be set to autosave on an interval and keeps a configurable number of backup saves.
