A cross platform NS2 play-tester syncing client written in ruby. Tested to be working on Windows and Linux.

Getting Started

• When you run ptsync_rb for the first time, it will generate a config.yml file and tell you the s3 keys are missing.
• Open the config.yml file in notepad and put in your two s3 keys and the correct path to your local NS2 directory.
• Run ptsync_rb again and leave the console window open until it has completed syncing.

Windows

• Extract the windows package rar file into a directory of your choice (outside of your NS2 directory)
• Basic options can be set from the config.yml file.
• If you want to use any of the additional command like options, you can create a shortcut to ptsync which includes these options and use that to launch ptsync. If you do create a shortcut, make sure the working directory is correctly set to the folder you extracted pysync_rb to.

Linux

• Make sure you have ruby 1.9.x installed, ptsync-rb has been built and tested with ruby 1.9.3
• Install Git if you do not already have it with sudo apt-get install git-core
• Install dependencies for building native extensions with sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev
• Change to a directory of your choice and use git clone https://github.com/bawNg/ptsync-rb.git
• Use cd ptsync-rb to change to the sync clients directory
• Run sudo gem install bundler if you do not already have the bundler gem installed
• Run the bundle command to download and install all dependencies for ptsync-rb
• Run ruby ./ptsync.rb to start the sync client. You can use ruby ./ptsync.rb --help to list all available options.
