CXL Platinum Disable Autosave

I currently save every 2 hours. It has kept crashes away but you have to remember to make manual saves every now and then when you have done a lot of work on an area.

You need to modify the file called mapsavemgr.lua which can only be found if you have CiteisXL unpacked using the tool Cities XL PakUnpak v1.3.0. It can be found in data\design\unprotectedscript
Look for line 1280 (if you open in Notepad++) or search for if (diff_time < 600) then
Change 600 to what ever you want.

Examples:

1 hour
if (diff_time < 3600) then

2 hours
if (diff_time < 7200) then

When you have finished put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\Data\design\unprotectedscript
It should override the one in the unpacked CitiesXL files.

There's a patch that has the mapsavemgr.lua set at 1 hour by a member (not sure of his name) with initials KH called KH_Modify_save_time.patch
Its floating around on simcity.cn somewhere

You can always create your own patch file by replicating the folders in the path data\design\unprotectedscript and use Cities XL PakUnpak to compress and create the patch file.
