[Feature Request] Autosave configurable settings (and try not to save whilst in midair)

Open aoanla opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hello,

This is really a QoL thing but: it would be nice to have some autosave configuration options to tweak when ironwail's autosaves trigger. Nothing big, but even "don't save when: " or "don't save within x seconds of " or whatever for the default triggers it uses.

Also, we've had one person just notice that they can get an autosave happen whilst they're falling [into the void in this case]. Can the autosave be tweaked to avoid saving when the player is falling?

add to the list "don't autosave while player is submerged/standing in lava or slime " ( happens quite a lot on maps with narrow edges or columns surrounded by slime/lava. ( The Brutalist Volumes )

I think config options for autosaves are not really needed, but engine could probably check that player is standing on a surface, and not taking damage.

This might be solved more simply by having more than one autosave as is done in Mark V. Maybe have 3 total, all accessible from the load menu.

32c0729 seems to fix autosave in lava/slime but it may still autosave while wearing a SUIT or INVULNERABILITY. Not sure if this is really a good thing. Probably in general skip autosaves when player has equipped a powerup?
