Can this be done?

**GT_Rince** · 12-01-04, 15:59

Was talking to someone ingame and they said they were running 2 versions of NC on the same machine - I thought this wasn't possible - or am I wrong ? Can port changes in the .ini files allow this?

Its possible all be it very painful to use.

Basically made two physical copies of the game, then change the ports for each game. Run them in windowed mode.

I've done it, but for the amount of hassle trying to log in or actually do anything (you will be lagged) its not worth it.

You dont even need to make two neocron installs. Just add the
line LOCALPORT="xxxxxx" into your neocron.ini file. (xxxxx is a
number of your choice, just avoid any other important ports) and
then when before you start up neocron the second time just
change the number. Presto.

You could just have two different neocron.ini files with different
ports and make a batch file that swaps em and launches
neocron. Simple and effective.

I don't know what you mean

Edit------

@Rade..
So, start NC the normal way, then I could ALT-TAB back to Wondows, edit the .ini (adding in the localport) file and run again ?

Oh I tried it using the same install and same acount just on diff servers......didn't work.....but I got an extra comp atm and I can log on a diff server with the same acount....

But I can be on the Test server and Pluto at the same time...GO SMP GO....doesn't lag at all.

Thanks Rade - got it working last night

It was laggy with 2 clients running on the same machine, but is ideal when you need to transfer money / items to an alt

Also means I can do my Epic run while lomming my tank

One account can be logged on two separate servers at the same time.

**Filth** · 13-01-04, 14:15

Hmm, my NC keeps neocron.ini open sop I cannot save it while NC running. I just have to have 2 copies. (moving terrain.pak to root dir saves 650MB)

BTW it is sometimes possible to log twice on same server - on same char :-p
