Mac Boxer - Problem with setting up how I log into multiple clients at once

[kintamago]

Hey,

Been really busy and haven't had the time to sit down with the game like I had hoped I would over the holidays, but family obligations can be fun as well. So, now onto our news for the day.

...success. I got it to work perfectly today. Thanks to all of your help. I really really appreciate everything. I am a bit on the slow side but we did it. Thanks again everyone.

Oh and this stickied could probably save a few mac-boxers a headache or two.

I am trying the hybrid approach because of Cata. I have a WoW on a seperate Volume.

derFlaask-Hard drive its 2 striped drives
Negohm-Main WoW folder and App name
WoW1- second folder and app name

I tried,
In -s /Volumes/derFlaask/NegOhm/Data//Volumes/derFlaask/WoW1/Data
ln -s /derFlaask/NegOhm/Data//derFlaask/WoW1/Data
the Terminal says "In ./Data: File exits" but nothing happen

I tried the scripts from wowpedia and wowwiki,
#!/bin/sh
p1="/Volumes/derFlaask/NegOhm"
p2=$p1/Volumes/derFlaask/WoW1
mkdir "$p2"
ln -s "$p1/Data" "$p2/Data"

Nothing happen. I clicked on the app and it started copying the data.

I really want to keep lower graphic setting for my slaves. /console farclip setting gives a light blue blank screen. /console gxWindow does nothing. Maybe wowwiki.com hasn't updated the commands for Cata.

How do I break the things i did from wowpedia.org? I got the symlink for Data and Interface. Opening the app still cause it to try and copy the data.

Just trash the folders with the small "alias" arrows in the bottom left corner of the icon. That will remove the links.

Negohm-Main WoW folder and App name
WoW1- second folder and app name

i am a little confused why your Main WoW folder is called Negohm. Is this a localizations thing?

Since the 4.0 patch i have had trouble when there is not a WoW installation at the default path of /Applications/World of Warcraft/

That could be part of the problem

I tried,
In -s /Volumes/derFlaask/NegOhm/Data//Volumes/derFlaask/WoW1/Data
ln -s /derFlaask/NegOhm/Data//derFlaask/WoW1/Data
the Terminal says "In ./Data: File exits" but nothing happen

This looks like you are missing spaces in the commands. did you type them like this or with a space like this... may just be the forum formatting

In -s /Volumes/derFlaask/NegOhm/Data/ /Volumes/derFlaask/WoW1/Data
ln -s /derFlaask/NegOhm/Data/ /derFlaask/WoW1/Data

if all else fails i would suggest just making a copy of your entire wow installation on the second drive and manage it completely separate from the default installation. This would allow you to have different video and sound options for the slaves vs master.

I tried,
In -s /Volumes/derFlaask/NegOhm/Data//Volumes/derFlaask/WoW1/Data
ln -s /derFlaask/NegOhm/Data//derFlaask/WoW1/Data
the Terminal says "In ./Data: File exits" but nothing happen

oh yeah, your second command should be linking the WTF folders not the data folders, you may want to re-read my previous post earlier in this thread.

let me drag out my mac and see what the limitations are

i got the syntex(?) right. I didnt put the S in Volumes. The commands put the Data and Interface links in, but it seems to be treated as regular alias. Is it suppose to ask me to fix the aliases when i click on them. Opening WoW gives me a error. At least it doesn't auto copy files anymore.

So the links are not really linking.

Its a old handle from a different forum.

Yikes! I have a small partition just for the the OS.

The linked alias is not like the ones in Shadewalker's pic on the last page. Its a blank page alias, with a curl on the top right.
