I am posting scripts that I created in Visual Dialogscript that automatically performs quicksaves and shows special objects (alt). I am making the assumption that the full game will not have an auto quicksave feature. I am posting this early as I will not be purchasing the game when it first comes out (I will be waiting for some patches first). Anyway, this beats having to remember to quicksave every so often and having to hold down the alt key manually. The quicksave will not work sometimes if you are in menus, in conversation dialogs, etc. However the quicksave game file is parsed, so it will retry approx. every 8 seconds to quicksave (the script runs as low priority, so you shouldn't notice any slowdowns in the game). 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 (note I am not affiliated with the company that makes DialogScript in any way, just posting this because I find the scripts quite helpful).

Notes regarding the code: F5 key is mapped to quicksaves. Note that the script is an endless loop - you will need to manually stop the script from running when you exit BD. You obviously will need to change directory references in the code to where you installed the game to and the quicksave locations.

Download the code at (adjust the variables to your preference of course):

To save the code: From your file menu in your Internet browser select save as... add .dsc to the end of the filename and for the Save as type pull down select Text file (.txt). The formatting should look correct when you load it now in the IDE.
