Add support for running multiple characters #40

Closed nando248 closed 6 years ago

Would it be possible to add support for running multiple characters at the same time?

Dartellum commented 6 years ago

I run multiple instances of Frostbite to run multiple characters. Yes, I needed to make a new folder for each one. I have 8 running presently, Frostbite-1 through Frostbite-8. I know Warlock you could run multiple characters in tabs.

Thank you Dartellum! A new folder for each instance gets the job done.

Yes, it's a hard limitation with native scripting and data API. And even if that was removed everything else is created with that in mind .. logging, profiles etc.

Only way is to have multiple copies and every instance runs a separate api server (registered in api.ini).

I mean, it didn't have to be that way but when i first started there was no F2P option and i only had one character. I didn't put much thought into it. Now it's too late to change. It would take way too much effort to rewrite everything and would make things more complicated to maintain.
