AutoHotKey script for quick saving.

How-To: One-Button Saving

All credit goes to Zyablik1989!

What Does It Do?

I wrote a script in AutoHotKey program, to help myself to save games with only One Button instead of 11 key-inputs. It Uses F5-hotkey and First save-slot. You can change it as you want, while script is editable. When you pressed F5 and script started to save game, you shouldn’t touch keyboard or mouse.

Instruction

1. Install AutoHotKey program from official website (it’s free) (AutoHotKey_dot_com).
2. Download script from link (Or create file with .ahk extension and copy a content from end of this guide into it).
3. (Optional step) RMB on downloaded .ahk-file, Press “Edit Script”, and change F5 hotkey with any other key you want.
4. RMB on downloaded file and press “Run Script” (You can see script is running, if capital “H” logo is present in Windows tray).
5. Now while script is running and you are ingame and you see your character on the field, press F5, and script will automatically press 11 keys with delays between them and save your game on the first save slot. When you launch the script, you shouldn’t touch keyboard or mouse.
