Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Script to auto quicksave and show special objects

I am posting a script that I created in Visual Dialogscript that automatically performs quicksaves and shows specials objects. This beats having to remember to quicksave every so often and I get tired of holding down the Alt key. The quicksave will not work sometimes if you are looking at potions, the big map, in conversations, etc. Obviously you can use this script for other games with minimal modification. You will need a version of Visual Dialogscript to run this script. You can download a free version of Visual Dialogscript at the following website:

http://www.dialogscript.com/vds.html (download Personal Visual DialogScript 4)
If you want to compile it into an .exe program you will need to purchase version 5 of Visual DialogScript.

I have tested the script with Visual Dialogscript 3.51-4.0 only. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong section. Enjoy!



rem Peforms a quick save approx. every 8-10 minutes in Divine Divinity and
rem also presses the alt key every 2.3 seconds to reveal hidden and special
rem objects. F11 key is mapped to quicksaves. Note that the script is an
rem endless loop - you will need to manually stop the script from running
rem when you exit Divine Divinity.
