SaveSlots for White Knuckle

Note: This mod is 100% created and coded by AI (LLM pair-programming assistant).

Adds customizable save slots and automatic safety backups to White Knuckle, allowing you to manage multiple runs in parallel without ever risking accidental loss of progress!

Features

• Customizable Save Slots (2 to 10): Choose how many slots you need via ModMenu slider or config (default is 5).
• Slot Renaming: Give your slots personalized names ('Main Run', 'No-Hit Challenge', 'Speedrun') directly in the F8 manager window or through ModMenu!
• Automatic Safety Backups: Never lose a run again! The mod automatically creates timestamped backups in Sessions/Backups/ before deleting, overwriting, or copying slots, plus rolling autosaves.
• Backup Viewer & One-Click Restore: Open the F8 window and click 'Backups' to view all historical backups for the current slot and restore any of them instantly.
• ModMenu Integration: Fully integrates into White Knuckle's pause & settings menu via ModMenu — adjust total slots, slot names, auto-backup settings, and manager hotkey in-game.
• Main Menu Bar: Sleek top-panel inside the game mode selector displaying each slot's custom name, status, and sector location.
• Safe by Default: Starting a new game or deleting a run only affects the active slot. All other slots are completely untouched.
• Legacy Save Migration: Your existing single save is automatically migrated to Slot 1 on first launch.
• In-Game Slot Indicator: Dynamic HUD widget showing your active save slot and custom label (SLOT #1: Main Run).
• Slot Manager & Duplication (F8): Press F8 (configurable) anywhere to switch slots, rename, duplicate runs, or browse and restore backups.

Configuration & ModMenu

All settings can be tweaked in-game via Settings -> Mod Menu -> SaveSlots, or in BepInEx/config/com.sondar.saveslots.cfg:

• TotalSlots (2..10): Number of available slots.
• CurrentSlot (1..10): Currently active slot.
• ShowHUD (true/false): Toggle the in-game slot indicator.
• ManagerKey (default F8): Hotkey to open the Save Slots Manager window.
• EnableAutoBackups (true/false): Toggle automatic safety backups.
• MaxBackupsPerSlot (1..10): Number of rolling backups retained per slot.
• Slot1Name .. Slot10Name: Custom labels for each slot.
