Simple windows shortcuts don’t suffice here, thus the symlink. PS: Why to do all this? in order to share this file and at the same time keep a link to it that terraria can follow to find it. If the context menu entries aren’t shown directly after installing link shell extension, you’ll have to reboot. Go back to your save folder, right click it and select Drop as → Symbolic Link (shown above, too, but you’ll want to pick “Symbolic” instead of “Hard” Link).Pick the moved World file as link source as shown here.Share this folder with your friend, which has to do everything like you, except moving the file and creating the folder (it will appear on his computer once shared) Sharing should be easy, with dropbox, it’s in the context menu, too, I think.
Mokubai's suggestion on the Super User chat.īen Blank explained in the comments that this is completely automatable. I'd do it via dropbox, share the folder, and then hardlink to where you need it to be, that way DB only syncs actual changes to the file as well lock file and check for it to ensure you don't play simultaneously.Īlternatively, you could try to use Dropbox and skip the version control system altogether. The batch will automatically pause till Terraria is closed. Line that tells your BVCS to upload changes It would look something like this: line that tells your BVCS to download changes What you need is a binary version control system, try looking into Boar or come up with something like RDiff-Backup which might be easier to automate over the command line. I wouldn't suggest uploading the whole map as that could be around 100 MB, while I belief that when playing only a small part of the 100 MB is really affected. Hosts your server or starts your Terraria client. Simply, you would create a batch file that TL DR: Simply use Dropbox, or get your hands dirty with batch files and Boar.
