Guide to easily quicksave and restore your progress anytime.
Introduction
Some of you might also be annoyed by loosing all the progress due to a bug or dumb siituation, so I decided to create a batch file to create quicksaves and share it with you.
Preparations
In order to make quicksaves possible, we have to turn off cloud savegames in steam first.
-
Download your current Savegames from cloud
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=1226510
Ensure to download at least the session you want AND the Game.TSS
-
Disable steam cloud for TrigonRightclick the game in your library, select properties
Uncheck the option to keep the savegames in Steam cloud
-
Rename the downloaded filesGet rid of the long prefix in the filenames
-
Copy the contents in the corresponding foldersUsually, its:
– for the Game.TSS
%AppData%\LocalLow\Sernur_Tech\Trigon_ Space Story
– for the [email protected]
%AppData%\LocalLow\Sernur_Tech\Trigon_ Space Story\Sessions
Create the Quicksave.cmd
Create the following Quicksave.cmd in any folder you can reach easily to double click:
@ECHO OFF
:: Small batch to create quicksaves for Trigon: Space Story
:: Be sure to turn off cloud saves @Steam first
:: Author: Ghash
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
:: Configuration
SET MAX_QS_FILES=5
SET SESSIONS_DIR=%Appdata%\..\LocalLow\Sernur_Tech\Trigon_ Space Story\Sessions
Set QUICKSAVES_DIR=%SESSIONS_DIR%\QuickSaves
SET SAVEGAME_PATTERN="Session@.*[-].*[-].*[-].*[-][^QS]*\.TSS"
SET QUICKSAVEGAME_PATTERN="Session@.*[-].*[-].*[-].*[-].*_QS_[0-9]*\.BAK"
:: Get filename of latest savegame
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%a IN ('DIR /B /A-D /O-D /TW "%SESSIONS_DIR%\Session*.TSS" ^| FINDSTR /E /R %SAVEGAME_PATTERN% ') DO (
SET SAVEGAME=%%a
ECHO Found Savegame: %SAVEGAME%
GOTO CreateQSFolder
)
GOTO NoSaveGameFound
:: Create folder for new quicksave
:CreateQSFolder
SET QSFOLDER_NAME=%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
SET TARGET_FOLDER=%QUICKSAVES_DIR%\%QSFOLDER_NAME%
ECHO Create QuickSave %TARGET_FOLDER%
mkdir "%TARGET_FOLDER%"
:: Copy contents
copy "%SESSIONS_DIR%\%SAVEGAME%" "%TARGET_FOLDER%"
copy "%SESSIONS_DIR%\..\Game.TSS" "%TARGET_FOLDER%"
ECHO done
:: Cleanup quicksaves
:CleanupQSFolder
SET DEL_COUNTER=0
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%a IN ('DIR /B /AD /O-N /TW "%QUICKSAVES_DIR%"') DO (
SET /A DEL_COUNTER+=1
IF [!DEL_COUNTER!] GTR [%MAX_QS_FILES%] (
ECHO Old savegame will be deleted: %%a
RMDIR /S /Q "%QUICKSAVES_DIR%\%%a"
ECHO done
)
)
:: Success, end script
GOTO :END
:NoSaveGameFound
ECHO "Quicksave failed: No Savegame was found :/"
pause
:END
endlocal
To Create a Quicksavem simple double click on the batch file
What it does?
- It tries to find the newest session under %SESSIONS_DIR%
- copy it in a new subfolder %QUICKSAVES_DIR%\[DATE]
- copy also the game settings under %SESSIONS_DIR%\..\Game.TSS to that dir
- delete the oldest Quicksaves in the %QUICKSAVES_DIR% up to %MAX_QS_FILES% folders
Restore Savegame
Follow these steps to restore a savegame
- Close the game
- Goto your Quicksave folder which you want to restore
usually: %Appdata%\..\LocalLow\Sernur_Tech\Trigon_ Space Story\Sessions\Quicksave\ - Copy the [email protected] to your Sessions folder, overwrite it!
usually: %Appdata%\..\LocalLow\Sernur_Tech\Trigon_ Space Story\Sessions\ - Copy the Game.TSS to your Trigon folder, overwrite it!
usually: %Appdata%\..\LocalLow\Sernur_Tech\Trigon_ Space Story\ - Start the game, continue 🙂
