Overview

This mod lets you choose between having 1 to 4 different quick save slots in BGEE, SoD, BG2EE, IWDEE and PSTEE.


Compatibility

This mod is designed to work on the series of Enhanced Editions published by Beamdog, which at present includes:

  • Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition (BGEE).
  • Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (BG2EE).
  • Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition (IWDEE).
  • Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition (PSTEE).

The BGEE Siege of Dragonspear expansion (SoD) is supported as well. All of the Enhanced Edition games include the original expansion packs, e.g. IWDEE includes Heart of Winter (HoW) and Trials of the Luremaster (TotLM).


Installation

Notes

If you've previously installed the mod, remove it before extracting the new version. To do this, run setup-k9quicksave.exe, un-install all previously installed main component and delete the 📁 k9quicksave folder.

When installing or un-installing, do not close the DOS window by clicking on the X button! Instead, press the Enter key whenever instructed to do so.

Disable any antivirus or other memory-resident software before installing this or any other mod. Some (particularly avast and Norton!) have a tendency to report false positives with mod activity, resulting in failed installs.

You can extract files from the archive using 7zip, WinRAR, ZipGenius or another file compression utility that handles .zip files.

Special Note for Siege of Dragonspear from Steam/GOG

Good Old Games (GOG) and Steam both package the additional content for Siege of Dragonspear in a method that WeiDU, the tool used to install this mod, cannot access. You must run a program called DLC Merger on your SoD installation before you can install this or any other WeiDU-based mod.

Enhanced Editions Note

The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. It is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages.

Windows

The Quick Save Slots Tweaks mod for Windows is distributed as an extractable compressed archive and includes a WeiDU installer.

Extract the contents of the mod archive into the folder of the game you wish to modify (the folder which contains the "CHITIN.KEY" file). On successful extraction, there should be a 📁 k9quicksave folder and a setup-k9quicksave.exe file in your game folder. To install, simply double-click setup-k9quicksave.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

Run setup-k9quicksave.exe in your game folder to reinstall, un-install or otherwise change components.

Mac OS X

The Quick Save Slots Tweaks mod for Mac OS X is distributed in the same compressed archive and includes a WeiDU installer.

First, extract the files from the archive into your game directory. On successful extraction, there should be a 📁 k9quicksave folder, setup-k9quicksave and setup-k9quicksave.command files in your game folder. To install, double-click setup-k9quicksave.command and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run setup-k9quicksave.command in your game folder to reinstall, un-install or otherwise the components settings.

Linux

The Quick Save Slots Tweaks mod for Linux is distributed in the same compressed archive and does not include a WeiDU installer.

Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify.

Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU and copy weidu and weinstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal, cd to your game installation directory, run tolower and answer 'Y' to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lowercased file names. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet.

To install, run weinstall setup-k9quicksave in your game folder. Then run wine bgmain.exe (or wine baldur.exe for EE games), and start playing.

Note for Complete Un-installation

In addition to the methods above for removing individual components, you can completely un-install the mod using setup-k9quicksave --uninstall at the command line to remove all components without wading through prompts.


Components

The installer groups numbers of Quick Save slots to be installed by games, letting the players decide how many slots they want to install.
Be sure you are installing the right component of the mod for your version of the game. If you do not have Siege of Dragonspear installed, then do not install the "SoD" component. Similarly, if you have Siege of Dragonspear installed then be sure to not install anything in this mod that has to do with the non-SoD components.

The installer includes the following components. The number of each is the component DESIGNATED number which gives it a fixed install position, lets other components detect it and allows automated installers to specify component choices.

  • [11] Install 1 Quick Save Slot
