2 Servers

Does any-one know how to have 2 servers running on one computer. I can start two, but...I want them to be modded with different mods. I'm running the server operator mod with the IFSO and want the same for the other, but with a mod I designed. So how do I start two servers with two different mods, without causeing problems?

IF and that is a very big if it is at all possible it is going to involve getting each flserver to run through a different NIC or Modem.

Generally I dont think this is possible and even if it was each copy would run very slow with lots of LAG as they fought each other for system resources.

Most pc's can barely run one server let alone two. Adding the factor of using Mods and that makes it all the more harder for the pc to run just one server. Becasue the mods add more systems // ships // factions // Loot dropping all of which Add to the server load. So stick to running a single server on one pc.

Niwo did it but it was a real song and dance through multiple installs, directory shuffling, Registry edits and multiple network setups. It's not for the faint of heart and I wouldn't suggest it for any but the most experienced of 'puter geeks.

Buy another server (I did) or suffer with one server.
