DB server

[jknilinux]

Hi,

I have two old PCs and am trying to figure out how to connect them to each other so that bots in one sim can teleport to the other sim. I don't want to connect them to the internet or anything, just to each other with a USB cable or something.

Is this possible? How can I do it? Thanks!

You can set up a local LAN, turn on file sharing, map a network drive from one computer to the other and assign a special folder for your bots. Then just use outgoing teleporters in both sims to save bots in there and incoming teleporters to load them back. No need for a server or an internet mode.

It is not neceraly needed to setup a lan.

If you're able to connect the two computers together. Then assign a map on one computer where both computers may write towards.

Use in both sims a in- and a outbound teleporter and select the map where both computers can write towards.

Thanks, but I'm not that familiar with HW.  

I appreciate explaining the concept, but how, exactly, do I do that? What settings do I use, specifically, in DB?

Peter-
So, would any connection (as in USB, firewire, etc...) work, so long as they can both write to the same disk?

Sorry but, what is HW?

And yes any connection will work as far I know(I didn't test everything). Beware for the exeption. Hopefully linux is not an exeption, if you use it for DB.

I would think setting the whole DB-part up would be easy. Choosing a teleporter tells what you need.

Where does it go wrong with you?

HW = HardWare

I'm trying it now, will let you know when something goes wrong.
