That's what NWNX Vaultster is for. It transfers the character files between servers before you use NWN's ActivatePortal function.

You want to run two instances of the server on one computer?

ok ive been trying to figure what is wrong here but i have no idea ? as u seen in my last post the Vaultster is loading same with server 2 but it is still not transfering the servervualts.. is there a script i need to add also to make this happen that is the only thing else i can think of , and if so, can you post the script for me.

thank you.

Yes, you need to call NWNX!VAULTSTER!SEND. This is the wrapper we use, which I just edited to remove some of the world-specific stuff. Not sure if it still compiles, but perhaps.

It goes at whatever point you need to send the data. But why not use the PortalPC method to send the PCs between servers instead?

Or direct symlinks/hardlinks. That's another possibility.

I could do that, and have thought about that. but my servers are 1800 miles apart and if one is down due power outage. or something of that sort internet troubles, the other server would have an acurate bic in the players servervault. this way if i set it up to where when the player leaves the server, it will send that current bic to the other servers vault. The other way PortalPc if the player doesnt play on server b for a few days and
he logs in, then any thing that player did to improve his toon would not be on server b.

For your situation, the script can be much simpler, since you don't need to guarantee that their bic has transferred before performing another action, though you may want to have a couple retries. But yes, Vaultster makes sense in this case.

@Fireboar, I think this may have been based on the original script before someone wrote PortalPC for release. Either way works. Smile

Realise this is an old topic, but I notice that if you are attempting to transfer bic files from server vaults on the same machine to eachother.

(Im assuming im addressing the right person)

Then surely one of the Vaultsters needs to have a different server port?

You cannot have both of them operating on the same port on the same machine. At least, Thats what I was always lead to believe.

I might be wrong, but maybe having 5101 and 5100 would work?
