AutoSaver

Automatically backups your character save and Spike's inventory on game load, quit and every 4 minutes.

Up to 15 saves are stored. You can configure both the number of saves stored and the automatic save interval in BepInEx/config/Marioalexsan.AutoSaver.cfg.

To fix save corruptions:

• go to ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver/Characters/{CHARACTER_NAME}, where CHARACTER_NAME is your character's name in ATLYSS
• grab the latest backup, or any previous backup based on the time it was created on
• copy the file to ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections and replace atl_characterProfile_{X} with that file, where X is the slot you want it to go in, from 0 to 5 (atl_characterProfile_0 is the first slot)
• example: ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver/Characters/Chip/_latest -> ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/atl_characterProfile_0 (overwriting previous corrupt file if needed)

To fix item bank corruption:

• go to ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver/ItemBank/
• grab the latest backup, or any previous backup based on the time it was created on
• copy the files from within to ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections
• replace atl_itemBank with itemBank_0, atl_itemBank_01 with itemBank_1, atl_itemBank_02 with itemBank_2, etc.
• example:
  • ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver/ItemBank/_latest/itemBank_0 -> ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/atl_itemBank (overwriting previous corrupt file if needed)
  • ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver/ItemBank/_latest/itemBank_1 -> ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/atl_itemBank_01 (overwriting previous corrupt file if needed)
  • ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver/ItemBank/_latest/itemBank_2 -> ATLYSS_Data/profileCollections/atl_itemBank_02 (overwriting previous corrupt file if needed)

Notes

This mod assumes your character's names are unique.

If they're not, you might run into trouble as playing on one of the characters will overwrite the autosaves of the other.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.4.0] - 2024-Jul-30

Added

• Added a new option to trigger backups whenever the "Save file" option is clicked in the menu
  • This is set to "On" by default; you can toggle it in settings
• Updated support for MoreBankTabsFixed (replacement for MoreBankTabs)
  • The 6 extra bank tab slots will be saved if MoreBankTabsFixed is also present

[1.3.0] - 2024-May-22

Added

• AutoSaver will now also save latest save files for the current game version
  • These save files will not get touched when updating to a newer version, allowing you to restore / return to a previous version's save file if needed

[1.2.0] - 2024-May-05

Added

• Added support for EasySettings version 1.1.6
• Added EnableAutosaving config option that enables or disables the periodic autosave component (default: true)
• Added AppendSlotToSaveName config option that enabled or disables appending the slot index to the backup names (default: true)
  • It's recommended to keep this set to true; setting this to false can be useful when moving saves between save slots, but will cause characters with duplicate names to overwrite each other

Changed

• Migrated the backup save folder from ATLYSS/ATLYSS_Data/_profileCollections/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver to ATLYSS/Marioalexsan_AutoSaver
  • Saves from AutoSaver version 1.1.1 and below will be migrated automatically on first launch
• Updated compatibility for public test branch of ATLYSS (currently v2.0.5d)
  • Note that this is experimental and subject to change until a stable version is released

[1.1.1] - 2024-Dec-17

Changed

• Updated for ATLYSS v1.6.0b

[1.1.0] - 2024-Dec-09

Added

• Support for saving extra Spike slots from MoreBankTabs v0.1.0
• Option to toggle autosaving whenever map instance changes.
• Experimental feature that allows locally saving other player's saves in multiplayer.

Changed

• Autosaves no longer happen whenever map instance changes, you must now toggle an option for this to happen.
• Save backups now reference the slot that has been used. This allows multiple saves with the same character name to be backed up correctly.
