About this mod Author’s original text
SaveMaster
Host-side save manager for R.E.P.O.
Press F7 in-game to open SaveMaster. The manager lets the host create a new save from the current checkpoint, load saves, restore the newest or oldest backup before loading, clone saves, rename saves, and delete saves with confirmation.
Press F9 to quick-load the current save.
BepInEx Requirement
Current R.E.P.O. builds can destroy visible BepInEx plugin components during startup. Set HideManagerGameObject = true in BepInEx/config/BepInEx.cfg if hotkeys or menus do not run.
Features
- Blocks vanilla save deletion by default, including the normal delete-after-loss flow.
- Automatically reloads the current checkpoint when everyone dies.
- Creates a new save slot from the current checkpoint at any point in a run.
- Loads the latest save state, the newest backup checkpoint, or the oldest backup checkpoint.
- Keeps a SAVEMASTER safety copy before replacing a save with a backup restore point.
- Renames save display names without changing the save folder ID.
- Allows unlimited new-game creation through the vanilla save menu.
- Works in singleplayer or for the multiplayer host. Clients do not need it.
Controls
- F7: Open or close SaveMaster.
- F9: Quick-load the current save.
- ESC: Close dialogs or the manager.
Config
Config is generated at BepInEx/config/MechGaming.REPO.SaveMaster.cfg.
- ManagerKey: Save manager hotkey. Default: F7.
- QuickLoadKey: Quick-load hotkey. Default: F9.
- EnableQuickLoad: Enable or disable quick load.
- AutoLoadCheckpointOnDeath: Reload the current checkpoint when everyone dies. Default: true.
- PreventGameDeletes: Block vanilla save deletion. Default: true.
- AllowManagerDeletes: Allow confirmed deletes from SaveMaster. Default: true.
Notes
Backup restore buttons overwrite the save's main.es3 with the selected backup before loading. SaveMaster first copies the previous main file to a hidden SAVEMASTER safety file in that save folder.
SaveMaster is currently checkpoint-only. A future plan is to explore true player-state saving beyond the latest checkpoint, but this release does not preserve exact player position or live level state.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
