One Hive, 2 different maps?

[DJSean00]

HI Guys,

I've done a bit of searching on the forums and wasn't able to find an answer to this question;

Are you able to share the same hive across servers running different maps so you can keep your gear?

In the HiveExt.ini I found a section that mentions what I think I'm asking, so I uncommented IDField and WSField with no luck

;The field name that Player's IDs are stored in (unique per game license)
;Some table layouts have this as PlayerID, and some as PlayerUID, that's why this is configurable
IDField = PlayerUID
;The field name that Player's World Position and rotation is stored in
;Enables you to run multiple different maps (different instances) off the same character table
WSField = Worldspace

If someone knows could they point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
Sean

Setup a separate database for each server. Chose one database that should store the character data (could be a separate or one of the existing).

For example:
- CHAR Database (global character data)
- Database 2 (Object data of server 1)
- Database 3 (Object data of server 2)

In HiveExt.ini configure as following:
Under [Database] configure the "CHAR Database" (where the character data is stored) for each server.
Under [ObjectDB] configure the object data database for the server. (Database 2 for server 1; Database 3 for server 2).

Not tested but should work.
