Just finished writing a save manager for Oblivion, and would appreciate feedback on it :) I developed it mainly because I didn't like the existing save managers out there and wanted something with more features.

It creates subdirectories for each of your characters and their saves, and lets you set an active character, which will change the directory that Oblivion saves into, allowing you to keep all your characters' saves separate (no more overwriting your other character's quicksave). It also allows you to set certain settings for oblivion on a per-character basis, such as difficulty, when autosaves are made, etc. (working on more functionality here).

Make sure you back your saves up if you try it out, though; it may well still have bugs in it ;)

Note that it needs the .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed in order to run.

The source is available here, as well, if anyone's interested (written in C#):

This is my first community-released program, so be kind :p

edit: fixed a couple of small bugs

Nice one, already a few of these out there but this one looks pretty neat. Shame I can't get my Oblivion to run for longer than 2 mins to be able to get anywhere past character creation to try it out. :(

Yeah, it was partly because I wanted a program to write, and partly because I wanted one that worked exactly how I wanted it to. Hopefully it'll be useful to others as well :)

Do remember, though, that's I've only just finished hacking it all together. If anything funny happens, post it here and I'll try and fix it. If it crashes outright, then it'll dump some info in a file called ocm_crashdump.txt in the Oblivion install directory, so just post that here/email it to me if it happens :)

I don't use multiple characters in Oblivion so it's not really for me, but I must say it looks like you've done a great job, it looks professional and user-friendly. :) Good effort!
