I have 2 characters on Flurry...


I use one to have the houses, and one to have lots free to place harvesters.


I used the harvester character to place a house, and now i want to /transferstructure to my alt.


My dilemma:


I cant transferstructure to my alt because he needs to be targeted... but i cant log on both at the same time. How do I /transferstructure if I cant log in my alt simultaneously and target him?


Getting a second computer to run a 2nd instance of SWG is NOT an option.


Tell me how to transfer the structure.

either run both accounts at once or transfer the structure to a friend to hold it for a minute while you switch characters.

To use 2 accounts in diffrent windows on one machine you need to do the follwing:-

Create a .txt file and add the follwoing text into it

[SwgClient]
allowMultipleInstances=TRUE

Rename file to user.cfg and place in the SWG program folder. Thats it


Then you can have both your accounts online and transfer the structure. You could get a friend to hold your house betwen transfers too, but I really reccomend you tocreate that text fileso you can have your charachters online at the same time. Make sure is named user.cfg only.

Well you didn't give enough info for me to answer the question in one statement so here are a few options.


1. If you are a Jedi and have another character on the same account (not likely due to your statements) then you need to find someone you trust totransfer the structure to while you log on your other character and have him transfer it back.

Problems: You now have no control over that structure and since you transferred itto him the CSR's won't do anything if he turns out to be a punk and won't give it back.


2. If you have multiple accounts go to thisforum pagehttp://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Techsupport&message.id=127824&highlight=multiple+instances#M127824and follow the instructions and you can have multiple instances of SWG running at the same time.

Problems:This will cause your computer to lag like crazy and CTD if your computer isn't up to the challenge (I run multiple instances on my laptop and do fine for trades and the like so you shouldn't have any problems.)


3. If your computer can't cope with multiple instances refer to #1.

I put the user.cfg file as suggested, and when i log onto the second character, the first one disconnects.

Is this actually working for anyone?

I got this to work by changing "true" to "1".
