stigzler Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 DriveMappy (https://sites.google.com/view/magoarcade/software/drivemappy) A small app that can help any of you running GameEx off Network storage setups. I found Windows Drive Mapping via Explorer to be a bit of a faff (having idiosyncrasies around user + admin accounts etc). Also, wanted something that would enable me to edit assets/setups whilst offline/away from my LAN. So made this. I have any apps (GameEx, CPWizBIz, GEmvoy) setup using mapped network drives for gamefiles and assets (e.g. drives Y: and Z:). My setup involves having all my assets on my home server. I have installed BitTorretn Sync (https://www.getsync.com/) on my server which essentially allows me to run it as a cloud service (no more capacity limits through corporate ones). Then I've set up cloud-sync folders on my laptop - nice thing about BTSync is you can select download files on demand, rather than autosync all files (saving disk space). On my laptop, I have it to try mapping the Y + Z drives to my server first. On fail - then maps these to the sync folder (which matches the server folder). Thus, I can essentially access a copy of the server when LAN connected - essentially through the interweb. Secondly, the versatility of BTSync can help with disk-size management. All automagically done on startup. (Caveat: to get full features of BTSync - you need to fork out £30 - but there's a lot of functionality through the free version too). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
