Hi,

as mentioned in another thread, I was searching for a another solution, like a "mount --bind" in linux, so that I've not to copy all files to the server directory.

Windows has a tool called "mklink" that can create symlinks.

MKLINK [/H] | [/J link destination

on my pc:

D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\r3v1l>mklink /D race07ds\Gamedata "d:\Games\Steam\steamapps\r3v1l\race 07\Gamedata"

symbolische Verknüpfung erstellt für race07ds\Gamedata <<===>> d:\Games\Steam\steamapps\r3v1l\race 07\Gamedata

(text in german)

advantages are, that you have no redundant data.
all files are up to date, cause you use the game files, which are updated by the wbb updater

Hi,

1. you've to start the commandline tool. go to start -> run -> "cmd" -> right click, start as root/super user/admin (don't know how it's called in english windows)
2. go to your steam install dir:

d:
cd d:\Games\Steam\steamapps\<put your nick here>\race07ds>

3. make a sym link:
mklink @ MS technet

mklink /D Gamedata "d:\Games\Steam\steamapps\<put your nick here>\race 07\Gamedata"

you can use TAB for autocompletion

that's it. have fun
