New save template

    The idea is this: you have a save called something like autotemplate in the folder of TPT where the executable is. If TPT finds this file there, it uses it as a template for new saves. This would make it easier to manage cases where you want to say have a logo on every save, or a sign that says free copy, etc.

    That would be nice.

    Not very useful, as you can just make a stamp of the template and put it over your whole save. Or just have stamps of the logos as you can move them around.

     Yes, but then you have to look through all your stamps to find it.

    This sounds like a good Lua autoload script idea.

    You could just make a save that you'll use as template, save it on your HDD or on the server and load it every time you want to make a new save...?

    @boxmein.  I have 3 saves just for that.

    I made a script which does this, you can get it here: http://starcatcher.us/scripts/#67

    Ctrl+click the clear sim button and it will load a template save from template.cps. If you don't have a template save, you can click this and it will create one for you.

    Works in tpt, my mod, and the next version of my mod with the new button placement.
