Mutliple VO accounts ( dual boxing )
Is there some way to run 2 VO accounts on one computer ?
I would think having 2 installs at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Vendetta Online 1
C:\Program Files (x86)\Vendetta Online 2
would be all that is necessary.
But VO seems to search my computer for setup files (config.ini, etc.). It also seems to search my system for controllers. I don't need all 4 controllers that happen to be plugged into my computer activated for VO, I only need 1 ( or maybe 2 ).
It's important that I am able to log on to my "real" account and have confidence that the controller configuration and binds, etc. are 'good to go'.
It's also important that I have a 2nd installation for plugin testing, where a few 'Lua error's are to be expected.
Surely there is some simple way to accomplish this.

well, VO's "current" location is stored in the registry, which makes it impossible to have seperate install locations on windows without fiddling with that.
You could look into storing binds in a seperate file and loading it into VO post-login, and making plugins only run on login of a certain character, but otherwise you'll have to look into something else...

The vendetta executable doesn't look at the windows registry much if at all, If creating shortcuts to the respective vo locations doesn't work (it should) you can rename vendetta.rlb to vendetta.exe and bypass the updater completely vo should load all relevant config files from the folder it's executed from.
As far as the registry's concerned VO doesn't need registry entries to run/work or at least I've never caught it creating registry entries on a first run when it's executed without a clean install.
As far as the controllers/inputs are concerned I have no idea if it's possible to get vo to differentiate which inputs belong to which clients unless you focus/task switch, that said if you configure the game manually to ignore inputs it you should be able to run two clients simultaneously that said I doubt this has been done much before so, g'luck!
