linuxgurugamer Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Originally written by @jefftimlin, original thread here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/162619-14-17-betterloadsavegame-24/ An addon for Kerbal Space Program designed to improve the user interface for loading save games. I was always frustrated with the in-game GUI for loading saved games, as it lists them in alphabetical order making it really hard to find the save you want when there's lots in the list. It also gets really slow to open once you have a lot of saves. This mod attempts to fix that by: Listing the saves by creation time (descending) Including thumbnail screenshots Looks like this: Dependencies Click Through Blocker ToolbarController SpaceTuxLibrary Availability Source: https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/BetterLoadSaveGame/ Download: https://spacedock.info/mod/2326/Better Load Save Game Renewed License: MIT Installation Available for install via CKAN. Alternatively, download the latest release and extract the contents of the GameData folder into the GameData folder inside your KSP install. Usage Note for best screenshot quality, ensure "Texture Quality" is set to "Full Res" in your game options (under "Graphics"). Settings are available in the stock Settings pages. The following options are available: In the General column: Replace stock Load Game dialog on F9 This replaces the Load Game dialog, if disabled, then F7 opens the window Don't show the persistent.sfs file Use alternate skin A more compact skin which a number of mods use In the Deletion/Archive column: Archive old saves Archive and Delete are exclusive, only one can be active. Delete old saves Both can be disabled to disable this functionality Unit: Hours Hours and Days are mutually exclusive Unit: Days File age in specified units The number of Hours/Days a save has to be to be either archived or deleted The BLSG window has a number of toggles and buttons: At the top are: Use Archives A toggle which has the mod show all the archived saves Sort One of three different ways to sort the saves in the list At the bottom are the following buttons: Delete Delete selected save Archive Move the selected save into the Archive directory Cancel Close the dialog Load Load the selected save Recommended mods Highly recommend also using a mod like Dated Quick Saves or Kerbal Improved Save System to address my other favourite problem in the game of only having one quicksave slot when you press F5. Current state Currently has basic features including screenshots, summary info, sorting and filtering.

He fixes mods on his Monday night stream, maybe he'll pick this up for tonight. It'd be great to have this functioning, so many saves to scroll through when loading.

linuxgurugamer Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 A problem has arisen on MacOS with this mod, it fails badly. It's being worked on, but for now, I suggest you not use it. The issue is a huge impact on frame rate and finding too many save files. I have been able to replicate both, am optimistic that I will find the problem in the next few days.

linuxgurugamer Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 New release, 2.5.1.1 Fixed 2nd F9, meant to close window, doing a reload of the quicksave Added code to not do screenshot save if less than 15 seconds since the previous one. This needed because the OnSave on OSX was generating large number of OnSave events for a single save The problem on OSX manifested itself with a massive framerate drop, but worked perfectly on Windows. I don't know if this was also an issue on Linux, but I suspect it might have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxgurugamer Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 New release, 2.5.1.2 Fixed the other OnSave reference, with the same solution as the previous fix. Again, only seemed to affect OSX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astatine85 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) @linuxgurugamer Found an interesting bug, sometimes if you load the game using this mod it will mess up your level of bulding ( VAB, SPH, astronaut complex.....) such that it makes you unable to eva even though it's a sandbox save, SPH/VABs are acting as if they were lvl 1 also pressing cancle seems to reload the game Edited March 19, 2020 by Astatine85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxgurugamer Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'll look, but this sounds like something is messing up the save. BLSG doesnt touch the save file, it just loads the specified save What other mods are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
