Aeaus Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.12.31 01:58:00 - [31] How much of an improvement does this actually give? Tanking Survivability Calculator
souihfsdosdfsdfsdfsdfsdf	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:00:00 - [32] Originally by: Aeaus How much of an improvement does this actually give? Well, here are some benchmark figures for the Gigabyte I-Ram, which is the same thing really. http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=iram&page=5

Di Jiensai Gallente Myster0ns	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:12:00 - [35] Ok, I took the all-in-one batchfile from someone else here, and made it a bit more beautiful. Just fill in the correct path in line 3 and line 6. (Hint: Under the line where it says "edit line below...") Quote: @echo off REM edit line below with your full eve path(no trailing \) set EVEPATH=C:\Program Files\ccp\eve REM edit line below with your full ramdisk cache folder path (no trailing \) set RAMPATH=S:\cache @echo copying files, Please wait xcopy /C /I /D /K /R /E /H "%EVEPATH%\cache2" %RAMPATH% @echo files copied @echo removing machonet rmdir /s /q %RAMPATH%\machonet @echo machonet removed "%EVEPATH%\eve.exe" cls @echo (only press when you shutdown eve) pause rmdir /s /q "%EVEPATH%\cache2" xcopy /C /I /D /K /R /E /H %RAMPATH% "%EVEPATH%\cache2\" rmdir /s /q %RAMPATH% mkdir %RAMPATH% exit EDIT LINE 3 AND 6, Save as EVE.BAT anywhere and start it. note, that when using this Ramdisk setup (including this batch file), you wont be able to start eve without it anymore, unless you remove the link to S:\cache from your eve folder and replace it with a normal cache directory. or move your eve\cache dir to s:\cache manualy. --- The Story of the Big-Bad-Nos-Domi and the Brutix Selfproclaimed last instance on Rightousness Issues
Gor Kraon Minmatar Shadowclan	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:18:00 - [36] If we do use this, specifically the last all purpose 'cleaned' batch file, do we use that for each client we want to run? Anything else i would have to do to run multiple clients?
Aeaus Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:20:00 - [37] Edited by: Aeaus on 31/12/2006 02:20:55 Just installed and tried to do this with the last BAT file suggested. It takes quite a while for it to copy all the Machonet and all the other files, any way to speed this up? Thought : Copy the folders induvidually and exclude MachoNet instead of copying MachoNet and then deleting it? Tanking Survivability Calculator
Gor Kraon Minmatar Shadowclan	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:38:00 - [38] Edited by: Gor Kraon on 31/12/2006 02:44:13 Edited by: Gor Kraon on 31/12/2006 02:41:47 Heh, was going to try... went to check how big the ramdisk would need to be for my Cache folder... its 367MB, and 349 of that is in pictures. I like portraits, probably borders on OCD when i try to load portraits for every pilot in whatever system I'm in (234MB in portraits). But Gids is also quite large at 104MB. So... would there still be benefits to using a RAMdrive for the other folders? And keep the portraits/gids in my HD? I'll have to research this a bunch more... i was just dreaming of instant loading programs yesterday. Another Edit: Are junction points similar enough to symlink so that using the batch file is not necessary? It seems Vista will support symlink... if this comes in handy for other stuff i may have to look at upgrading (at some point!)
Dominie Dirtch	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:40:00 - [39] What about multiple accounts? :\ Running two accounts on one PC for instance.

Anything else i would have to do to run multiple clients? You can use that for several clients, just save a copy for each client you want to run, under a diffrent name, and edit the specific directorys eg. c:\ccp\eve2 and s:\cache2 you then have to start them seperately. --- The Story of the Big-Bad-Nos-Domi and the Brutix Selfproclaimed last instance on Rightousness Issues

Thought : Copy the folders induvidually and exclude MachoNet instead of copying MachoNet and then deleting it? Yes, a lot of copying, i think it would be better to run one Make_cache script before you start eve, and one Save_cache before you shutdown the pc. then atleast you dont have to copy stuff when you just restart eve. and about the useless machonet copy: yes, its just lazyness. less commands neccessary to just copy the whole cache folder :) --- The Story of the Big-Bad-Nos-Domi and the Brutix Selfproclaimed last instance on Rightousness Issues

After EVE is shut down, before you shut down your computer. -[23] Member- Listen to EVE-Trance Radio! (DSTrance channel ingame)
Tharrn Amarr 1st Praetorian Guard Vigilia Valeria	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:50:00 - [44] Guess who nuked his prefs.ini and settings folder. Now recruiting!
Grez Minmatar The Raven Warriors	Posted - 2006.12.31 02:56:00 - [45] I was going to do this, until I realised I needed to reboot. BLASPHEMY! THOU SHALL NOT REBOOT! My 8 raid drives will do just nicely <3 --- Cache Clearer

Dominie Dirtch	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:00:00 - [47] Create a "cache" folder in the newly created S: RAMdrive. Right-click drag it to the inside of the EVE folder, and select "create junction here." --- Inside of the eve folder, by this you mean the cache folder or the actual eve folder? also, there is no option to create junction for me :(

BACK IT UP FIRST!!! Yeah, would have been a good idea :P I am sure I can't remember half of the channel passwords :P Now recruiting!
Dominie Dirtch	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:08:00 - [49] Was just me being stupid, done it now. One question tho, i usually run 3 accounts on one PC, does this mean that all 3 cache's combined must be under 62mb? or is there a way to change this?
Dominie Dirtch	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:16:00 - [50] And after some fiddling For those with multiple accounts, you will find it difficult to make more than one 'Cache' folder on your s:\ ramdrive, so what i did was create a cache2/3/4/5 etc... and then linked it to a cache file in your eve-directory (after re-naming the origional cache to cache2)

Ifni Developmental Neogenics Amalgamated	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:22:00 - [51] One thing that wasn't covered, unless I'm blind, you have to rename the linked folder to cache, since it defaults to "link to cache". You take what is offered. And that must sometimes be enough.
Dominie Dirtch	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:25:00 - [52] Is it possible to have two ram drives?

BACK IT UP FIRST!!! Yeah, would have been a good idea :P I am sure I can't remember half of the channel passwords :P Found a pre-Revelations cache backup - so just my overview settings are gone. I can live with that :) Lesson learned. Now recruiting!
Ifni Developmental Neogenics Amalgamated	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:31:00 - [54] I have to acquire bulk data for ages everytime i boot EVE now, so if anythign I'm seeing worse performance, at least trying to log in. You take what is offered. And that must sometimes be enough.

Dancers plz. o/ --Jorauk boogies-eris booty bounces - Corte
Gor Kraon Minmatar Shadowclan	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:57:00 - [57] Also, wouldn't doing the same for the Logs folder be a good idea? That thing gets hit often...
Dominie Dirtch	Posted - 2006.12.31 03:58:00 - [58] Originally by: Gor Kraon Also, wouldn't doing the same for the Logs folder be a good idea? That thing gets hit often... Disable logging ingame?

Meh, you're right. I've removed that from the batch file. -[23] Member- Listen to EVE-Trance Radio! (DSTrance channel ingame)
Aeaus Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.12.31 05:16:00 - [60] s: cd .. cd .. cd .. xcopy /C /I /D /K /R /E /H cache C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\cache2 I don't know what's wrong here, but this just doesn't work. I even modified the program to make a "cache2" folder, but nothing get's copied. S:\ is my drive, and that's the address of where the cache should be, but it doesn't work.
