How can I make sure autosave fires off every turn?

[linktochaos]

I can't find it in the ingame options, maybe there is a file I can edit?

Thanks ahead of time. I'm doing this to debug the OOS issue in the WTP mod.

Find CivilizationIV.ini in your documents (or maybe your mod overrides it) and set AutoSaveInterval to 1.

1. Go to your Civ4Col installation folder. (Not the mod, the base game.)
2. In there you will find a "File Short Cut": _Civ4Config (click it)
3. The file CivilizationIV.ini should open, which is the file that stores player preferences. (It allows many interesting things for a modder.)
4. Find AutoSaveInterval and set the value to 1

; Specify the number of turns between autoSaves. 0 means no autosave.
AutoSaveInterval = 1

Nice other ones for a player.

; Allow Camera Flying
AllowFlying = 1

; Specify a Mod folder (Mods\Mesopotamia), '0' for none
Mod = RaysPrivateWTP

------

Other really interesting things you could do in there as a modder:
(They are usually default for any modder that works on graphics or code.)

; Set to 1 for no python exception popups
HidePythonExceptions = 0

; Disable caching of file system (may slow initialization)
DisableFileCaching = 1


This here is placed above [DEBUG]
It gives access to many powerful console functions for testing your changes.

; Move along
CheatCode = chipotle


There are more, but those are the most important ones.

------

Everything else that comes below [GAME] are the preferences Civ4Col stored from your last game.
Usually you do not touch them unless you have problems starting Civ4Col or a mod.

@linktochaos
So you are a programmer as well?
Area you also interested to become a Civ4Col modder?

If yes, please consider joining our WTP modding chat in Slack.
Or are you maybe on discord, which I have however not visited regularly yet but probably should?
