Hello everyone,

I have been downloading the TWO files, and even with wiping my system clean I have filled it. So I've just picked up an external harddrive, and I'm hoping that 250 gigs will do it smile.gif

Is there any special trick to transferring the c:/twodrive files to the drive, without screwing up the svn and having to start downloading all over? I don't want to screw anything up (or to stay up until six am trying to make sure that everuthing is working again!!!).

Thanks for all your help and advice!

Best regards,

Kelly

I believe Noel said before that you can just drag and drop it in to a new location via Windows. As long as you have every part of the folder. But I'd get confirmation on it before you do anything. There may be some info on it on the TWO Wiki page.

Thanks Ken! I'll take a look on that page, and see if there is any info... if not, I'll hold off, just in case. Can't be too careful when it took so long to download smile.gif

Yup, you can just move the folder as the svn data is saved in the .svn folders. If you want to be safe, make sure you move the top level folder of the project.

the Shared holder which has all the models of characters and set which you will need is currently 5.72 GB which means you are only downloading 1/2 seeing SVN creats backups of each file so you download almost 3 GB but this will take up almost 6 GB of disc space. Then you need to download you assigned holders which are small .chr and .prj files to work on. If you decide to download all of SVN better have 19.5 GB of free space on your drive blink.gif and better check if you have a download limit on your ISP acount wink.gif

Thanks Mark, thats well within my limits....the 250 gig mentioned above scared me for a sec.
