[0.23.5][Obsolete] Multiple Saves DA v018

[PrivateFlip]

This mod is obsolete since 23.5

(Alt-F5 and Alt-F9 or linux equivalent now provide same functionality.)

This mod allows you to use multiple savegames.

Savegames can be managed from a simple menu which allows you to name, save, load and delete savegames.

Menu can be minimized.

How is this different from the stock save game thing?

You can have more than one, and you can name them something other than "quicksave.sfs".

Multiple quicksaves, essentially.

OH!!!!

You might want to edit the first post/name of mod..

Until you explained you were talking about quicksave I thought you meant multiple saves.

The game already supports multiple saves so I didn't see why to use your mod. But multiple quicksaves, that would be super handy. If I remember to quicksave.

I thought this meant like being able to load multiple persistents at the same time (which would also be awesome).

Well, the game doesn't really support multiple saves. The only way to get a new "save" is to start a new game, and each game only has one save. I guess technically you can call that "multiple saves", but it's kinda odd to call it that imho... that's multiple games...

This was my understanding when picking the name. To me a save is one savegame instant. A quicksave to me is just such a save which you can do quickly, by the press of a button. This is how it works in other games where you have quicksaves, autosaves and the regular saves. So calling it 'multiple quicksaves' would be a misnomer to me because you do have to open a menu to access the option.

This plugin is compatible with .22

multiple quicksaves

....should be the name of this mod.

[JumpsterG]

I just became aware of this mod from following this thread in the suggestions subforum:

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55258-A-real-save-feature!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks excellent and fills a niche some (many?) players are looking to fill.

[drtedastro]

Looks great, and i need it now. Perfect timing. Downloading and installing... Many thanks.

[DeafFrog]

Oh my god YES!!! this is what iv'e always needed! Downloading now.

[drtedastro]

This works great. Has saved my bacon several times already.... great mod. again, thanks.

[PrivateFlip]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

[Roxette]

This is very nice and useful, but ideally the button position should be user-configurable rather than hard coded. I really should get back into programming for current stuff for KSP, but the last time I did any serious high-level programming was in the days of my Fidonet BBS I'm sure with the relevant tools it's a fairly simple addition, especially since there are so many other plugins that have that functionality to rip the code from?

I was more WWIVnet and DragCit.

[PrivateFlip]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about

Except for the fact you want the ability to relocate the button, which I'm glad to report is an already completed feature for the next update.

[Roxette]

...an already completed feature for the next update

Brilliant, thanks \o/

[PrivateFlip]

UPDATE: This plugin makes use of blizzy78′s Toolbar plugin. It provides a toolbar on which other mods can place their buttons, is looks better and reduces screen clutter.

Could you possibly make it a toggle if you can quicksave in flight? I'd love to use that to practice, say, landings with aircraft.

Sorry, the previous version did allow that and I would have left it that way, but in the new version of KSP (.23) loading an inflight vessel leads to some mayor issues, like the vessel being deleted.

Well that's a bummer! Thanks anyway for the awesome mod!
