Import as new realm?
- Thread starter Pollution
- Start date
Correct. There's no explicit "Import as a new realm" functionality. It's a 2-step process: create the realm configured as you'd like it, then import whatever content you'd like.
The only "special case" one-step behavior we support is specifying a structure file when creating a new realm. This is primarily intended for supporting game systems that there's no official structure for. So when I create realms for my favorite Space Opera setting, I will select my Space Opera structure file to get all of the categories and tags corresponding to alphabetically-named spaceships and fuzzy brown aliens.
UPDATE: I'm told by David that there is actually a real RPG called "Space Opera". This is not the one I'm referring to. Figuring out which one I AM referring to is left as an exercise for the reader.

new pc is on the to do list. It's driving me crazy. Just getting the Realm Works login screen up started taking 20+ minutes yesterday!Don't get a TB size SSD. That's completely unnecessary.
If you look at your windows folder and you programs folders they probably run a fun hundred Gigabytes. I got a 250 gig SSD for well under $100 USD that substantially improved load times for pretty much everything I run.

Looks like a random benchmark agrees with your recomendation.

I just replaced my Thinkpad x230 (hated it, never buying another Thinkpad, after many years of brand loyalty, Lenovo ruined the Thinkpad) with a Dell XPS 13 9350.
The SSD and doubling the RAM to 16 GB seems to have made a big difference. No crashes yet, loads mush faster, and opening, switching, and closing tabs is much better. Ran my first game on the new machine today. Worked well.
My only issue is that this laptop has a high-DPI screen, so RW looks a little washed out and is no where near as sharp as high-DPI-aware programs.
Funny, my memories from back in college in the early 90s put me off of Dell for a long time. A sales engineer I respect recommended the XPS to me and I've been very happy happy with it. Nice little laptop. Still miss the old Thinkpad keyboards, but the touchpad is nice enough that I don't miss the trackpoint style pointer.
Anyway, whatever you get, SSD and lots of RAM will help a lot with RW.

Yeah, I'm finding that most of my data for work and personal use is stored in various cloud services (Azure, O365, Google Drive, SpiderOak, etc.), I don't need as much HD space.
One program I've been using for several months now that I feel comfortable recommending is O Drive. It gives you one interface and data-management for multiple cloud sources. I have it linked to multiple Google Drive accounts, multiple FTP sites, etc.
You can have some folders sync ALL data to your local drive, for others you can have stubs, and you can set it so that documents not accessed in X amount of time are replaced on your local drive with a stub.
There are other services like O Drive and if you only use DropBox or only use Google Drive, you can just use their client, but if you use a lot of services, it is nice to have a single app that lets you access and manage them all via Windows Explorer.

For a laptop 256 gigs is probably sufficient as long as you use cloud storage.
For my desktop I really do need a TB of storage but I have all my programs and windows on a 256M SSD. It makes booting and loading stuff a lot faster.
On my desktop my boot SSD isn't big enough to hold all of my software and still have room for Windows updates, much less games, documents, and other files. I've got things split up between an SSD, hard drive, and my home network's file server. I have access to multiple online storage services, but haven't had much of a need for them.
Minor quibble: Don't forget that M.2 is a connector that provides access to multiple interfaces, not a speed standard. USB 2 is one of those interfaces, though one mostly used for wireless cards instead of drives. I'm sure that M.2 PCIe drives are very fast if you need that sort of thing. :)
