Alternative activation of the background script

Sometimes I need to save between battles during AI turn (I don't like replaying battles because of CTDs or sometimes I need to go to work). The problem is that when I load game I cannot activate the script until my turn.
This can be easily solved by adding lines below to EB/data/export_descr_advice.txt

Code:

;------------------------------------------ Trigger 2114B_UI_Panel_Game_Options_Help_Trigger WhenToTest ScrollAdviceRequested Condition ScrollAdviceRequested end_game_scroll AdviceThread EBBS_Thread 1

To activate the script you need to press escape, click question mark in menu and then "show me" as usual.

By the way, does anyone know when 1.1 is going to be released?

Even better solution. With lines below you can click question mark in the battle deployment screen to open script activation prompt.
No need to open main menu :laugh4:

I wonder if this could be used to have the AI play through and watch the results... in the past the problem has been that the script doesn't activate.
