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.
