At least I think that's it.

Yep, well im not completely out of it, and i checked on the Wiki

disableautosave

1. On
2. Only when required (some PWADs like to autosave in the middle, ZDCMP 1 had this)
3. Never

I set it to 3 and im fine, i save frequently enough anyways.

Why does deleting a saved game screw up ZDoom?

by **TheDarkArchon** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 12:58 pm

The opposite can be true: 4 slots can be too much for some people.

I think you answered it yourself:

There are only 4 slots for them

I'd really like to have more. The number should be made a CVAR.

So he wants to disable autosaves because there isn't enough of them? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Hmm.... I should set it to 1 then.

That would help with the wierd thing that happens to me where ZDoom has to be reinstalled every time I accidentally do that. Maybe that problem is just me. Also, fix that bug when you delete the saved game that ZDoom freezes

What's wrong with autosaves? There are only 4 slots for them and they are always on the top!

Will do, thanks for the info.

Really changed the focus of this thread, my bad.

It's in the INI file - the command, I believe, is Autosave (which must be set to False) - check the Wiki under Console Commands.

its there.

So disable it.

Don't know how many times i have to say im in the dark when it comes to these things

. Mind telling me how to disable the autosave feature then? I checked the options a while back and didn't see that option available.

Theres only one problem with this suggestion: some games need two or more WADs.
Anyone can move the thread?
