Bind for quicksave via key? (Also crash issue)

[Armaetus]

Is there a quick way to make a bind for Skulltag/Zandronum so I can save the game silently (and just "Game saved." in upper left) while recording without having to hit F6?

[Krispy]

I think F6 is the closest you're going to get. One you select which game you're saving to, it'll ask you if that's the one you want to save to again. So after the first time you'd have to press 'F6' and then 'Y' for 'yes'.

bind q "save test" (doesn't ask if you want to overwrite)
bind e "load test"

[Armaetus]

Thanks Memfis, that will do.

Another possibility:

bind q "special autosave"

This will give you a quicksave key that makes autosaves. The interest being that if you make a quicksave that you actually regret doing because you get a rocket to the face immediately after or something, then you can still go back to an older autosave.

[Armaetus]

I don't do quicksaves in the heat of battle, especially when being fired upon. I usually do such before new areas and before picking up keys.

Bumping this because with Zandronum I am coming across a problem with this at times when dying and then reloading causing it to crash sometimes (Access Violation) and attempting to reload that last save makes it crash no matter what I try to do to load it.

Anyone wonder why it would bomb? I am also using Brutal Doom and not sure if it's the culprit or not.

If anyone can figure out why this happens, any input would be appreciated since I cannot load the custom save point without it crashing the game immediately and leaving me to start the level via autosave from the start.
