About this mod

Runescape: Dragon Wilds does not include a dedicated server and thus the only reliable way right now to share a persistent world with your players group is to share around the map data file. This utility aims to automate this process when used in conjunction with a cloud sharing service of your choice.

Permissions and credits
1: Create a shared directory in onedrive or google drive etc.
2: Place the exe file in the shared directory.
3: Open the exe file and it should create an ini file.
4: Click on the 'Open Save Directory' button and copy the world file you want to share (it will be named xxxxxxxxxxx.SAV) to the shared directory.
5: Close the RtMWorldShare application.
6: Open Server.ini which should be in the same directory.
7: Set the value for target save to the full name (including the extention) of the save file you want to share and then save and close the ini file.
8: Share the directory with other players and have them sync it so it appears as a folder on their computer.

If you are hosting:
1: Launch RtMWorldShare and use the 'check out' button.
2: Launch the game and start the server. This application should automatically detect the ServerName and Password by reading the save file, if you change the password the detected one wont be correct.
3: When other users launch RSDWWorldShare it should tell them the world save is checked out by your user and will display the ServerName and password instead.

Note1 : RSDWWorldShare uploads a copy of the current save back to the shared directory every 2 minutes.
Note2 : If you close RSDWWorldShare it will terminate your game forcibly and check the file back in.
Note3 : To gracefully stop hosting the data file, exit your game normally and it should detect the game has closed and check the file back in. If it doesn't use the 'X' and acknowledge the prompt.

*** BIG NOTE ***
I have not tested this on this game yet, this tool was built by repurposing a similar tool I made for Return to Moria as it uses the same engine and appears to function much the same.
ALSO, I have only tested it with the steam version of the game. RTM had separate directories for saves, this one doesn't appear to. If it doesn't detect the game please let me know what version you are using and the exact file path for the saves so that I can add a version for you.
*******************************************************************************

Other notes:
1: A time stamp is taken and refreshed every 5 minutes, if this doesn't happen while the file is checked out it will be deemed stale and another user can then check the file out.
2: I have not tested this application across timezones but it should work.
3: By default RSDWWorldShare will leave the map file on the hosts computer after the file has been checked back in, you can set it to be deleted in the server.ini file.
4: You can reposition the application simply by holding down left mouse and dragging it to where you want it.
5: Clients are not required to leave the application running, it is just to check if the file is checked out already.
6: Any file duplications in the cloud service that might potentially occur are outside the scope of this application.

IMPORTANT: Use at your own risk, I am not responsible for any data loss.
