Delete savegame option

Curunir · Post by **Curunir** » Tue Nov 04, 2003 6:19 am

I have often mucked in and out of the game to see what savegame i want to delete and have often messed up and deleted my halfway-through saves.

I suppose this has happened to others as well. And I guess that coding the "delete savegame" in zdoom wouldn't be such a great deal of trouble. Not that it's a pressing issue, though. But it'd be lovely to have this in one of the future releases, no?

Simply press 'delete' over a savegame (on the load/save menu) and you'll be able to do just that.

A winner is you, Ultimate DooMer!

And I'm obviously too silly not to think of that before.

And Lexus - I bet the autosaves irritate you because of the long names that they generate in the menu!

But I find them useful anyway, since I have the habit to blast through levels and then suddenly face 2 Arch Viles and die with no save.

Autosaves? How did I miss this one? Are autosaves automagically turned on in newer zdoom versions?

Does it work in co-op? Is there any easy way to find out which file is associated with which saved game (other than guessing from timestamps?

mouse,
who just drank a lot of coffee!

- Added disableautosave cvar to control when autosaves happen. At 0, autosaves
always happen. At 1, they only happen when an autosave special is activated.
At 2, they never happen.

...

One way would be with UNLEASHED
For each savegame session, it will show you the screenshot and the pwadname at the time of the save.
It couldn't be any easier.

Press F1 in the save/load menu.

Press F1 in the save/load menu.

I do not see, how pressing F1 will help in identfying the pwad. The initial display in the ZDoom LOAD menu is:

the day, date and time when the session was saved
the episode name
the time into the level
the identifier for that saved session, as typed in by the player, which is not necessarily the pwadname

Pressing F1 switches the display to where the saved session saveX.zds file is located, but not the actual name of the pwad.

Maybe I am missing something, which would not be unusual

He was asking how to find out which save file on the hard drive (save0.zds, save1.zds, auto0.zds, etc) belonged to which item in the menu. Pressing F1 gives you the name of the file on disk. Save games that require WADs that aren't loaded shouldn't show up in the list anyway.
