== What is SaveKey? ==
SaveKey is a mod which allows you to bind a key to quickly create a normal new save slot (not a quicksave) without having to go into the save menu. Upon pressing this key, the game creates a normal save, exactly as if you had gone into the main menu and clicked "New Save". The reason I created this mod was because of how frustrating and slow I found it to create normal saves through the menu, and I didn't want the corruption issues and the issue of relying on one save found with using QuickSaves.
== How do I use it? ==
Download and install NV Script Extender. Just copy the files into your "fallout new vegas" folder, the same one where the game exe is located.
http://nvse.silverlock.org/
Copy the "SaveKey.esp" file into your \Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas\Data folder. Enable it in the New Vegas Launcher under "Data Files".
When the game launches, the default SaveKey is set as F12. Press this key to create a save when required. You should see "Saving...." in the top left hand corner, and a new save slot will be made.
If you wish to change the key for SaveKey, hold down the current bound key (which is F12 by default). After a few seconds a menu should popup. Follow the instructions on the menu to set your new key.
== Notes ==
This has been tested extensively and I've found no errors. However as NVSE is in beta, this mod should also also be treated as a beta.
Saving using SaveKey is exactly the same as saving through the menu, just quicker. Because of this there is no more risk of a save being corrupted than normal.
