Quicksave limit

[USCMC]

Hy all... As the title says, would it be possible (via FOSE) to limit the quicksaves and menu saves at... say 3 per day? I think this would add a great deal of tactical immersion to Fallout.

 

If this has been discussed before I appologise.

 

Thank you and have fun!

Yes, this would be entirely possible. You'd want to use a script like this:

float fTimeOfDay
short sIsQuicksavePressed
short sQuicksaveCount

Begin GameMode
if GameHour < fTimeOfDay ; When the day ends, reset everything
	EnableControl 25
	set sQuicksaveCount to 0
endif
if sIsQuicksavePressed != IsControlPressed 25 ; If the quicksave key is pressed
	set sIsQuicksavePressed to sIsQuicksavePressed == 0
	if sIsQuicksavePressed
		set sQuicksaveCount to sQuicksaveCount + 1
	endif
endif
if sQuicksaveCount >= 3 != IsControlDisabled 25
	; If more than 3 quicksaves have been made this day
	DisableControl 25
endif
set fTimeOfDay to GameHour
End

Begin MenuMode
EnableControl 25 ; Prevent quicksave from being disabled in regular saves
End

Of course, something like this will be incompatible with any other Mod that enables or disables the quicksave control, such as CASM. It will also have some problems with uninstallation, as the quicksave control may be disabled if an autosave or a save made via script is loaded after uninstalling the Mod.
