Setting up F@H on multiple computers...

Post by Athlon Powers » Thu May 15, 2003 10:31 am

Can I do this and just set the client on both computers to my same Username and Team? Will that work? I am using the graphical client, thanks!

PS. They are not on a network, they are physically disconnected by about 1.5mi and use differnet ISPs. :D

EDIT: I see there is some configuration in the Client.CFG file but im not sure what to change. I think it might have something to do with MachineID, am I right? And what does the "local" command mean?

I've looked at the FAQ online and it dosent seem like I have to do anything.
[settings]
username=AtomicDude512
team=31574
asknet=no
machineid=1
local=1

[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
usereg=no
proxy_name=
proxy_passwd=

[graphics]
drawgap=7500
drawtitle=1
drawlogos=0
drawmode=0

[core]
priority=0
cpuusage=100
disableassembly=no
ignoredeadlines=no

[clienttype]
type=1

You can definitely use the same username and team number. How else would people set up these farms and get all the credit? :)

I wouldn't copy the same .cfg file from PC to PC however. Just run the install and follow the prompts, it will generate the .cfg for you.

Like miker says (he should know :D )

The machineID is meant if you have dual (or more) CPUs on 1 system. But if you gave the same username & teamID when you installed the clients you are fine, dont do anything else.
