Thor Patcher with Multiple Client

[Bisuke]

We are planning to have 2 Servers, 1 Lowrate and 1 Midrate.

How do we code the config file of the Thor Patcher?

Currently I'm using the custom button function that runs the .exe, however, when you click the button, the client will run, but the Patcher remains open. If I use the normal start button, I can only add 1 client.

Yes, but also no.

You can run another program while the patcher is open, which will give you the two clients capabilities, but the patcher will stay open until you close it.. which you've already tried.

Why do you need a separate client? Add an extra set of connection info's to the clientinfo.xml file, or join both char servers to the same login server and then you don't need two separate clients with two separate lots of data files.

just add extra connection on the clientinfo.xml

add multiple server selection at sclientinfo.xml or clientinfo.xml IF both servers are using same clients.

At first, we planned it just like that, one login with different server connection. However, due to difference in customization of both server, we decided to split the servers client. So, is there a way for a Thor Patcher to have an option of 2 clients?

 

Thank you for your response!

Again! Thank you for the answers. It seems that It is possible to have a 2 client in Thor but with limitation.
