the only one i can find in RTB addon search and here in the forums, is one that makes a save as your closing the game or something.

is there an addon that auto saves every 30 minutes and keeps like the last 50 backups or however you want?
need something decent for my dedi

I remember there was one for clients to use when you're in a server but I haven't seen one that does dedicated auto saving. I assume you don't plan on being in the server permanently?

he has a contest every month giving out a free blockland key to whoever builds the best build.

I would like this too.

I needed this too a while back, ended up losing progress on a big build :C

An idea for this is that it saves them into a special save folder so you don't have to find them through all your other saves.

Hmm, I saw that McTwist had one in his RPG a while ago. It was like: Friday, [insert day number here] Autosaving....
Im not sure tough.

I can throw something together in a little bit for a dedicated.

EDIT:
Haha, turns out I already had one. Let me just test it to make sure everything still works.
(It uses Randy's dediSave support function, so major credit to him for that.)

You set the following prefs in the server.cs file (not good to change while its running):
1) Save interval - In minutes, and this should be self-explanitory.
2) Number of backups - It will save up to x files before deleting the first one it saved.
3) Save base name - The save file name, before it is suffixed with the save's ID.

EDIT2:
All set. http://www.willhostforfood.com/users/T/Truce/Script_AutoSaver.zip

Default savings for the preferences described in the last edit:
1) Save interval - 30*
2) Number of backups - 50*
3) Save base name - AutoSave_

*Since Bisjac requested the script, I used the settings he expected.

I had one too, but it looks like Truce beat me to it.

Bisjac · September 30, 2009, 12:48:15 PM

win :D

Apparently 30 mins is too high for a delay - of course - so you'll have to lower it or it'll spam saves (resets to 0...?)
