I apprciate your efforts Moniq, but kinda like directions to install a windows program when I'm running Linux ... the instructions do not apply. The old system worked for me ... these options do not.
Yes, the virtual links is a perfect solution for a single PC and a single music location. But, as i thought was made clear, that's not my situation. ... In addition, if yave your music separated by genres, artists or who owns it ... in different folders, a perma-link doesn't allow to you to listen in accordance with your particular mood of the day ...
Monday I might want to listen to V:\Media\Music\Grateful Dead
Tuesday I might want to listen to V:\Media\Music\New Wave
Wednsday I might want to listen to V:\Media\Music\Southern Rock
Thursday I might want to listen to V:\Media\Music\40s Swing
Friday I might want to listen to V:\Media\Music\Classical
One option requires that ya copy Gigabytes of music from one location to another wasting loads of space
The other solution assumes that there is one location where these files are stored. Must be recognized that this this is not the case. I have two permanent installs on this account. The installation is "self contained" in a single folder and travels with me on a Thumb Drive. I update the two permanent installs, by taking the Thumb Drive from the most recently used box to the other, and copy / pasting the entire folder over the older one.
So wherever me and that thumb drive are .... whether in a different room or a different city, that music source is in a different location because all I took with me is that Thumb Drive w/ Ryzom folder and I am using a different PC. Links to music files on other PCs are not of any use.
Example ... This weekend I am dog / house sitting for Son No. 2 I will listen to his music. I will arrive, copy / paste the game folder from thumb drive to his PC ... what use will those links be to a PC miles away ?
I know where his files are since I built it, so with the ole MP3 player, I would just select the proper folder. I understand why the functionality of using a virtual link could be useful, but I do not understand why the original functionality needed to be removed.
Too me, it's the same as having which weapon Im using or which armor I'm using in my config file.... Want to be able to change the source whenever the mood strikes w/o having to create "lists" .
Oh ... and back on topic:
5 crashes yesterday .... 2 on Charcter selection and 3 on TPs
I did find is that if i just say 'screw it' ... and don't try and log on / wait 20 minuted while making dinner or something, dont get that 2nd crash when it tells me "Im still on line"
