Prevent Auto-/Exitsave

[niston]

Is there a way to stop the game (by script toggle) from creating Auto- and Exit Saves?

I'm not sure about Exit Saves but for auto save I think you can use SetIniBool(): https://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=SetINIBool_-_Utility, and SetIniFloat(): https://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=SetINIFloat_-_Utility, to change these ini settings like so:

Utility.SetINIBool("bSaveOnPause:MAIN", 0)

Utility.SetINIBool("bSaveOnTravel:MAIN", 0)

Utility.SetINIBool("bSaveOnWait:MAIN", 0)

Utility.SetINIBool("bSaveOnRest:MAIN", 0)

Utility.SetINIFloat("fAutosaveEveryXMins:SaveGame", 10000.0) ;change back to 10 when wanting to save again.

That looks like a step forward, thank you.

Now if there only were GetINI* functions, so that I might restore those settings to their original values when re-enabling saves.

[dylbill]

Yeah the GetIni functions would be nice. SKSE added them for Skyrim but it doesn't look like F4SE added them for fallout.

That, plus it must work without F4SE (console targets).

In that case you won't be able to use SetINI* either, as they are debugOnly flagged functions, and I don't believe there is a way to get those to be used for consoles.

Yep. =|
