Terrarian
Hi all!
I've been playing Terraria on my Macbook Pro using a Windows partition. I share a world file with a friend over Dropbox so we can both play singly and in multiplayer and the world will stay current. I used this method to set up the link on my Windows partition and on my second PC.
I wanted to add my OS X partition to this whole system, but it got sulky when I tried. When I tried to put an alias file of my Dropbox world into my OS X game files, Terraria would crash whenever those files needed to be loaded. Right now, I have run the alias the other way, meaning that my sync is only one-way and I can't sync from any changes my friend makes to the world file.
Should I be using command line symlinks instead? Can someone walk me through doing that, if so? Or can I get Steam sync to play nicely with two different users, as an alternative workflow?
I'm pretty low technical proficiency, so please explain like I'm five, if possible. Thank you so much!
