Upping the Number of AutoSaves

[Wraith11B]

I recall there being a mention of someone doing this recently, I was wondering where that particular detail was so that rather than the current limit of 3 previous autosaves, there would be more.

Also, if there's some way to pull the naming convention (or if I'm limited to how the game currently names them) that would be appreciated.

Damn are you lucky! Was just browsing the HOI3 wiki when I saw this.

• There is a new setting available that will be useful sometimes. if you change debug_saves in settings.txt to a number (1 for every month. 0 means off) it will automatically create saves that don't get overwritten by newer ones like regular autosaves. useful if you want a record of a long game, although it uses quite a lot of disk space with all those saves so mostly useful for AAR writers and modders.

Can you show me with a link where you found that? I'd be super appreciative! (Not saying you're making it up, just want to use it as a jump off for other checks)

They hid it under “User Interface Tips and Tricks” on the FTM wiki page, I can’t post the link to it directly as I think my account is too new.

Found it. Thanks! I'll have to dig into this some more!
