Summary Update:
-Added global hotkeys to enable/disable portions of the script from running
-F10 key now halts and exits execution of the script
The instructions and code downloads have been updated as of 05/09/2004. The new instructions include the ability to manually disable the auto quicksave and the alt key presses from occuring - this may be preferable for some battles you encounter where an auto quicksave during the battle would be undesirable and also to disable the alt key presses so you can pause and unpause during battles easier.
Note: Before you read any further - these new scripts were created in Visual Dialogscript version 5.x. You must have version 5 to run these scripts. Keep in mind that version 5 is not free (30-day trial) after which you have to register which is usually around $99.00. This is probably not worth it unless you want to create your own scripts, etc. I am leaving the old code and instructions available (see the earlier posts), in case you want to use it with the free downloadable version of Visual Dialogscript 4.
Instructions for vds5.dsc scripts only: You will need to map the quicksave key in the Beyond Divinity game to F5. Do not map the ScrLk (Scroll Lock) to anything in the game or the F10 key. Start the game with the Scroll Lock key enabled.
So,
Scroll Lock Key is on = Auto quicksave is enabled and alt key gets pressed every 2.3 seconds.
Scroll Lock Key is off = Auto quicksave is disabled and the alt key presses are disabled (basically disables the script from running until you press the Scroll Lock key again).
Download version 5 of dialogscript at:
http://www.dialogscript.com/vds.html Notes regarding the code: Note that the script is an endless loop - you will need to press the F10 key to exit the script. You obviously will need to change directory references in the code to where you installed the game to and the quicksave locations.
For example lets say I installed the game to the directory D:\Games\Beyond Divinity, so I would change the following lines (download the example.dsc code from the address below).
Note that the directory change entry is the directory where the game starts from and you can find this by using the secondary mouse button (normally this is the right mouse button) on the shortcut icon for Beyond Divinty and select Properties and then look in the Start in: input field.
You can easily change how often the alt key is pressed and how often quicksaves occur (dowload the example2.dsc code from the address below).
Download the code at (adjust the variables to your preference of course):
