Default Re: How to enable auto-save.

The best answers depend on what windows you are using so for the following, Im considering it to be Windows XP.

The easiest windows friendly save is
open dominions3/savedgames
Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C
Ctrl-V

You can create a shortcut to that directory so that you have an icon to click on to get there.
----------------------------------------
The next easiest might be to make a save.bat in the dominions3 directory that has this line
xcopy /yes savedgames oldsaves /i

that will also copy all of the games to a backup
--------------------------------------------

Of course adding --preexec save.bat to your Dom3 icon will tell Dom3 to do the save thing every time it hosts any game.
