Alternative activation of the background script

[iamphet]

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

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

Sure, the normal way works as usual.

yeah nothing was deleted, just another option was added.

Nice! Could the EB team add this to 1.1?

I defintely agree, but in the meantime someone could also add it to the optional fixes here- https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=93820

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

When it is finished.
Sorry, I haven't gotten to say that in so long.

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

Huray! It's the little things that make the love....
Nice one!

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.
