Auto create multiple copies of auto save file to allow game reload after crash / flip
Hey
Our GH board accidentally got flipped a few days ago and we lost the scenario 3 hours in. I went to the auto save to retrieve and found it had overwritten itself literally seconds after the flip, typical! IMO real dumb way to have an auto save working.

So i went looking for a way to create backups of the autosave that wont get overwritten and now i have a history of 20 saves 10 minutes apart.

Got it running from a script i found here,
https://www.billiam.org/2018/05/19/tabletop-simulator-keep-multiple-autosaves

using the info in this write up to enable powershell to run scripts
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-and-run-your-first-powershell-script-file-windows-10

and then I wrote a batch file to run the script every X seconds. This is the batch file content:
:Loop
TIMEOUT /T 600 /NOBREAK
PowerShell.exe -Command "& 'D:\backup\TTS\TS_AutoSaveBackUp.ps1'"
Goto :loop

Hope this can help some others out there.
Stay safe and keep gaming :)

Did you know you can lock out table flipping from the options ---> permissions (I think) menu?

I did yes, thank you.
Unfortunately it seems it only locks it out for the players and it was me, the host, that hit the flip button accidentally when going for the Menu button lol doh!
Oh well, not the steadiest hands some times :)

but i already disliked the overwriting auto save feature and was thinking of doing something about it and this just pushed me over the edge.
