Zomboid Auto Save - "ZAS"

This is a script that runs along side project zomboid and saves/backup your game as you play. you can change variables in the script_config.py file to change the save location "BACKUP_SAVE_PATH" and interval "SAVE_INTERVAL_SEC"

• BACKUP_SAVE_PATH == defaults the saves to -- "C:\Users\<CURRENT_USER>\Zomboid\zas_backup_saves"
• SAVE_INTERVAL_SEC == defaults to 300sec/5mins before it will save.
• COMPRESS_FOLDERS == defaults to 0, to .ZIP the saves to save on space.

NOTE - The script will auto create the backup folders if they are not present

Usage:

$ py zomboid_auto_save.py
All saves are in: 'C:\Users\aaron\Zomboid\zas_backup_saves'
08/10/22 01:05:30 -- Archiving 'fire_man_save', into: 'C:\Users\aaron\Zomboid\zas_backup_saves\Survivor\1660118730_fire_man_save'
08/10/22 01:05:35 -- Archiving 'fire_man_save', into: 'C:\Users\aaron\Zomboid\zas_backup_saves\Survivor\1660118741_fire_man_save'
