Idea for infomon

[crb]

Make a setting for an FTP account. Server address, ftp username, ftp password.

Add a timestamp to infomon sav files, if one doesn't exist already.

When infomon loads have it download a sav file from the ftp site, and from the local folder, and use whichever one is most current.

when infomon exits have it upload sav file to ftp site.

Thus, people who can create an FTP account for themselves anywhere, can then have roaming profiles, with uptodate spell durations no matter which computer they're using to login.

citizendata.lic contains FTP programming, which can be borrowed.

I really dont see why this couldnt be done with the repository and or updater.

you mean having a centralized location to store everyone's information?

That is an option, but maybe Tillmen doesn't want to support that. This way if you bring your own infrastructure, you can do it.

I thought people already had this working with SVNs.

Or just abuse the stormfront playerSettings file. It's trivial to make a "Script" that's really just a bunch of information, and then you can download that script off Simu's servers the same you would any other setting.

Am I missing something? We already have that with ;magic save/load which can be automated in a script
