/*
    Auto-save script for GZDoom
    by JP LeBreton

    To use:
    - copy this file into your GZDoom directory
    - add the following to your gzdoom.ini file, in the [Global.Autoload] section:
        Path=autosave.zs
    - when you start a game, the script will be active
    - saves to a slot named "autosave"
    - by default, saves every 5 minutes

    To configure:
    - in the GZDoom console (~ key), type e.g.:
        autosave_interval 10
    - this will set the save interval to 10 minutes
    - this setting will be saved to your .ini file
