- Added functionality to skip admin requirement via commandline argument
--noadminfor users that have saved their game file outside of protected directories - Added functionality to allow users to add a commandline parameter to specify custom save location via
--savedatafolder "folderpath"
To run rimlink as a non-admin, you should start via command line as follows:
rimlink.exe --noadmin # allows running rimlink as not an admin
To run rimlink from a custom saved location, you should start via command line as follows:
rimlink.exe --noadmin --savedatafolder "your path here wrapped in doublequotes"
The purpose of this utility is to sync rimworld mods, updates, and config folders between a host and multiple users. This will help with reduce the frequency of desyncs when using the multiplayer mod. It only works for Windows as I do not have access to a Mac.
In order to use:
- Port forward on port 5002 OR Make use of Hamachi (if making use of Hamachi, use Hamachi's IP and not your own)
- Put rimlink.exe in your Rimworld directory and run as admin
- If you generally host the Rimworld server, make sure you say (y)es when asked so
- After host has the rimlink tool running, then your friends can run the rimlink tool in the same way, but saying (n)o when asked if they host rimworld servers
- Rimlink will make sure your friend's files and folders are 100% exactly the same as yours. It will download and remove files as needed for that to happen
