Config to disable backup on startup?

xJon opened this issue 5 years ago · 9 comments

The mod works great, but I wish there could be a config option to disable the startup backup, whenever I enter a new world.
Thanks!

I added a config option to disable startup backups in version 1.4.8.

Thank you!
May I ask what is the main purpose of startup backups?

I'm actually not really sure why I added them. I think it was because if you quit the world right before a backup and started the world again it would be awhile before a backup happened again. I might change it in a later update so that backups are based on world time so that the backup timer isn't reset between world saves.

That'd be quite clever. Thank you for the support nonetheless!

Hey, I've updated to the latest version of the mod and set B:backupOnWorldStart=false, yet the backups still happen when I enter a new SSP world?

I think that's a bug, however in the next update the backup timer will be saved with the world so that config option will be removed.

I'm really sorry it took me so long to reply, I got the notification while I was on vacation and then completely forgot when I got back home.

There's a config option called backupInterval that if you set to zero, automatic backups will be disabled. There isn't currently a way to disable only the startup backups and not the timed backups, I might add a config option for that.

I do want the automatic backups, just I thought an option to disable the startup backups would be nice.
Thanks!
