Handy Util

Post by Cromcruaich »

Came across this freebie on the microsoft site. Essentially xcopy with some bells and whistles and a nice interface.

A few tips that its useful for with DAOC.

1) If you have multiple PC's with DAOC on, then at patch time you can download to just one, then synch the rest of your PC's to the updated one, which should decrease the load on the download server and also mean your up and running faster!

2) Have a shared network folder, and synchronise your character ini files to this folder across all your PC's. This ensures that no matter what character you play on what computer you will have your last quickbar config. Note that this is best achieved by calling synchtoy from a batch script, allowing you to add the synchronise to a login script, or simply in your startup folder. I also do this with a central repository for all my character templates and items for Korts and Loki.

Thanks to Tuthmes for the link.
