Author | Topic: New free add-on program. Autosave Eradicator
CroftsGate Member Posts: 152 From: Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 04-22-2002 03:14 PM Just to let you know that I've put together a new little program called Autosave Eradicator. When you get down to using the Level Editor and you output your project to a wad file, Room Edit will automatically create a backup of your work saved to a file called "autosave.prj". When you start Room Edit it first checks to see if this file exists and if it does a message box will appear asking you whether or not you want to load it. You must press either the "OKAY" or "CANCEL" button before you can continue to use Room Edit or it will freeze up. Sometimes the message box may not be visible, such as after moving the Room Edit window around on the desktop before acting on the message prompt. In short you can't use Room Edit. Autosave Eradicator when run deletes the offending file allowing you start up Room Edit normally without any dialogs appearing. Easy as that. Of course you could delete the file manually but I found that too tedious which is why I wrote this program. NOTE: The program must be installed to the same folder as Room Edit (i.e. your Level Editor installation) for it to function properly.

CroftsGate Member Posts: 152 From: Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 04-22-2002 03:57 PM Thanks, I never thought of using ESC. Anyway I've been using this method of getting rid of the file whenever I start up and find the dialog too annoying. May come in use for others who want a quick way of removing the file without using explorer.

TREEBLE Member Posts: 303 From: Wolves lair Registered: May 2001 | posted 04-22-2002 04:02 PM Well, I think that the autosave funcion is not reliable at all. I've lost a lot of work with crashes, and there never was a file called autosave.prj on my TRLE folder. But, thanks anyway. Your program seems to be very handy to TRLE users IP: Logged
