Multiple Accounts and DLC

Recommended Posts

So i'm working for a solution to run mutiple accounts with the dlcs.

and i have found a solution that is working or me.

First of all i'm using DayZCommander and only that to run DayZ (!IMPORTANT! since the method is built for using DayZCommander)

Second there is a slight problem, currently the game loads the dlcs two times when starting but until now i haven't had any errors.

Sadly i haven't found a workaround for that.

Next is, i used the method from DocTolly to use multiple accounts

http://dayzmod.com/f...hared-computers

and

the method explained in the 4th post for the dlc on multiple accounts

http://dayzmod.com/f...rs/page__st__40

So the preparatory work is done, now i have two .reg-files (name1.reg/name2.reg) as well as each two dlcs folders (@PMCname1/name2, @BAFname1/name2).

the first thing to do is to copy the two .reg-files into the folder where the settings.xml from DayZCommander is located

(the standard path for Win7 would be "C:\Users\*User*\AppData\Local\DayZCommander")

next we have to write a little vbs-script for each account named replacename1.vbs and replacename2.vbs

open notepad and write


'Variablen initialisieren
DIM Suchen
DIM Ersetzen
DIM NeuerInhalt
DIM Inhalt

'Variablen setzen
Suchen ="name2"
Ersetzen ="name1"

'Datei öffnen und auslesen
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set File = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\*User*\AppData\Local\DayZCommander\settings.xml", 1)
Inhalt = File.ReadAll
File.Close

'String finden und ersetzen
NeuerInhalt = Replace(Inhalt, Suchen , Ersetzen) +vbcr


'In Datei schreiben
Set File = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\*User*\AppData\Local\DayZCommander\settings.xml", 2)
File.Write NeuerInhalt
File.Close

save the written as "replacename1.vbs", switch name1 and name2 and save as "replacename2.vbs.

copy those two also in the same folder as the 2 reg.-files and the settings.xml

now we have two .reg-files, two .vbs-scripts and the settings.xml from DayZcommander in one folder.

finally we don't want to click them each time we want to change the character, so we will create a .bat-file which will automate the process.

open notepad and write


start C:\Users\*User*\AppData\Local\DayZCommander\replacename1.vbs
start C:\Users\*User*\AppData\Local\DayZCommander\name1.reg

save as name1.bat, repeat the same for the name2-files


start C:\Users\*User*\AppData\Local\DayZCommander\replacename2.vbs
start C:\Users\*User*\AppData\Local\DayZCommander\name2.reg

save as name2.bat

now we have 2 .bat-files which can be stored whereever you want

the .bat-file for the respective user will will change the key and the loaded mod folders and prevent errors.

now i have to excuse myself for my bad english since i'm german

and i hope that method helps some of you
