Silkroad Online Forums

does anyone know, is it possible to partition your harddrive and install silkroad on easy and have 2 SRO's open at once, one so I can have a stall or do alchemy, and playing with the other?

illegal

yea

or get 2 computers

it is not illegal, it is not using illegal software to modify the game, you are simply splitting 1 harddrive into 2 and running the game from each one, you are not changing anything, there is nothing illegal about it.

im pretty sure Frites is referring to "other ways" meaning SM which is illegal...

what do you mean? still under 1 OS? its illegal still....

You could possibly do it via Virtual OS you wouldnt need to Spilt the Partitions

splitting the partitions wouldnt do any good anyways it still be in the system processes

Edit: No you cant run it on a seperate partition ive tried it on another hard drive

Only possible with a 3rd party program (Doesnt have to be SM). VMware is too much hassle, and must be very laggy, so don't even try that

sro launcher

Argh then wth I see a lot of pk2 edition posts!

There shouldn't be any problem with SM!

Is nothing or nothing... that happens when you allow something... and then you try to be fair... but you already had a fault...

This forum should not promote pk2 edition.

die

pfft I barely buy silk. And I rather preffer to wastem money on silkroad mall than support some system's freakie group. And my point was, that pk2 edition should not be allowed as a legal activity.


PD: *sigh* I tolerate your childish globals everday TheDumbBlade, now I have to tolerate your comments here.

Wat if u have a external harddrive?would it be possible to do it then,like copy all the files on it and run them 2?idk any1 know?

wont work.

I dont think the virtual machine will work. Because the protection C10 error blocked the client which use the IP has already in use (if u connect to the same server).
In another word, none legal method is possible.

How many topics do we have in GD about this? I've seen at least 2 or 3 others besides this one. It's not illegal to run two clients (without modifying either client) at once if you have a way to do it. It's fine as long as both clients are clean installs that are not modified in any way.

Many people suggested VMware. That should work, but would be sluggish unless you have a really good system.

In theory, you might be able to have two separate installations of SRO on your computer, and run each of these as two different users. Might be easier to do that in Linux rather than Windows.

In theory.

If I had more time, I'd do some tests. No client modification, so no more illegal than running each client on a separate computer.



Well not all pk2 editing is bad. Technically it's still modifying the client, so maybe there should be a 'no pk2' rule. However, there is something to be said for giving users a little freedom to experiment, as long as the experimentation isn't harmful or doesn't allow them to cheat.

Hmm Let's say I break my @ss to hit Lv64 and finally hold an 8D weapon, but someone easily did it with pk2 edition at Lv1. Unfair IMO.

rofl but they still lvl 1 your 64.

Somehow, You got a point, but... thing is.. what about pk2 editing uniques like Roc and the new Lv105 from Chi'n tomb's dungeon?

*Atomic Bomb*:arrow: Pk2 edition

Well the weapon/equipment pk2 edits are client side only. It's just the look, so the person doesn't really hold an 8D weapon. I'm sure if you pk2 edit Roc into Jangan, it's just on your system, and no one else would see it.

Correct me if I'm wrong? Would others see you attack it?

I told u none legal method is possible.

Even if u got 2 pc, but run in same LAN, sro will detect 2 clients with same IP connecting to same server and send C10 error.

I know u want 2 clients just for stalling and hunting

Corrected.

My wife and I play SRO together all the time. Both of our XP machines are on the same LAN. So therefore we both have the same external IP... well really our router's IP. Each computer on a LAN has a separate private IP.

even if you'll make it and open 2 sro at the same time i bet it would be lag to hell..

min. 1GB RAM and 2+ MBps internet is sufficient

Also a 128mb+ graphics card is needed, i tried to run another game next to SRO where i was stalling and i got a "not enough video memory" error, 64mb onboard graphics FTL

partition you just devide your harddisk into 2 or 3 whats the new of that that cant run 2 silkroad in one windows..?

Go old school and use 2 comps... like me ._.''

I'm not sure what is so confusing, but you can't run two silkroad.exe's from one operating system. When you launch silkroad.exe, it first checks whether silkroad.exe is already running, if not, it proceeds to the launcher, otherwise, it closes and gives you the message "silkroad.exe is already executed."

I've thought about that. What about running it as two separate user accounts? Is there a way to hide your processes from other users? Or is that check done from a Administrator level?

That's why I was thinking maybe Linux could do it since then SRO is running under Wine. Two separate users running a separate instance of SRO under 2 separate instances of Wine.

I thought maybe in Linux, SRO wouldn't see the other SRO client because it's outside that user's wine environment.

This is assuming you give both users access to the same X server. I'm thinking through xauth or similar.
