WOTC Save Games Delete All Option

Description
The original Pre-WoTC version of this mod can be found at:
http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=704059463

This mod saves you from the very tedious activity of deleting all existing save games
individually when starting a new campaign.

Description

This adds a new "Delete All" button in the first list item in the Save and Load screens.

The user is presented with a confirmation dialog, and if the user confirms the
action, all save games from the list are deleted.

Based on INI settings, the final save game can be left untouched.

Configuration

In XcomSaveGamesDeleteOption.ini are two configuration items.

[SaveGamesDeleteAllOption.UIScreenListener_SaveGamesDeleteAllOption]
LEAVE_LAST_ONE=Y

[SaveGamesDeleteAllOption.UIScreenListener_SaveGamesDeleteAllOptionOnSave]
LEAVE_LAST_ONE=Y

If LEAVE_LAST_ONE is left with a value of Y, then your last save game will be left
untouched. If this is changed to N, then ALL save games will be deleted.

Default value is Y.


If you find this mod to be useful, a Thumbs Up rating would be very much
appreciated.

If any issues are found, please let me know.

Compatibility
No class overrides.

just came here to say holy shit this is a life-changing QOL mod that everyone needs immediately. if you've sunk as many hours into xcom 2 as i have, you don't even know how much save bloat is slowing you down until you use this mod. just subscribe & thank me (and more importantly, @krj12) later

A very useful thing. :steamthumbsup: But after use it is better to turn it off so as not to accidentally click on it against your will.) :xcom2grenadier:

@浅夜_阿根廷 看描述中的Configuration部分,如果我没看错,该模组的默认ini中,具有不删除最后一次存档的功能。

Please add a feature that automatically saves a current game's save after deleting all saves.

I misspoke on the string variables, quotes are recommended but not strictly required. Still, it is probably specific to my setup, but =Y deleted all my saves and ="Y" deleted all but the most recent (only the most recent of the most recent campaign, an older campaign was wiped clean).

The takeaway is still to backup anything you'd rather not lose, before doing a mass delete anywhere, including from this mod.

I've never had any problem with the config option Y not being read correctly, at least not in my runs.
EvilBob22 29 Dec, 2022 @ 1:23pm 
Ha! I figured out the cause. The config variables are strings, so they need to be enclosed in quotes (name type variables don't need quotes, but strings do).

Change both lines from this:
LEAVE_LAST_ONE=Y

to this:
LEAVE_LAST_ONE="Y"

and it will keep one save (assuming there are no other problems, I haven't tested it).

It deleted all saves for me even with the setting to keep one from each campaign still at the default 'Y'. I didn't really care about the old ones, so I'm fine with it, but be sure to back them up if you want to keep them, it might delete everything.

This is the mod I never knew I needed, but I love it. So much time saved not having to manually delete all my saves constantly.
