If that were so then there would be two instances of Alice working simultaneously with one IO Tool each and it would be absolutely possible, just not two instances of the object in the same world

Having two instances of the tool means having duplicate python functions. Whether these just override each other, as I would expect them to do, or whether in this environment they can run simultaneously under seperate scopes I am not sure of. The other major issue, which probably cancels out the last issue, is that the second tool would have a different object name, meaning its functions would access the variables of the first object, so in effect still only having one usable instance of the object.

So in summary Im not too sure, but I am expecting the answer to your question to, unfortunately , be no. The best way to find out is to test it for yourself (Im not at my computer, so I cant). The worst that could happen is you could get an error message and a duff file that you can easily delete.

What could you possibly be doing that requires dual simultaneous file access though? Can you not just do one file at a time?
I figured that was the case. I was hoping I could do all the loading operations at once in the beginning to speed up the "boot up" of the world, but that may not have helped much anyway.

Have you worked any more on this tool, Arty?

A string-to-number converter would be useful for the next project I am planning...


Thank you for taking the time to read this signature. This signature loves you.

I forgot about this. It shouldn't be too hard to do, I will do it at the weekend. I promise.

PS - nice avatar and sig

I decided not to update this tool.
Instead I made a new one .

This one is much simpler to use and supports variable saving and loading, rather than file access.

You can still use this tool at the same time as the Save Tool if you really want!

Save Tool - for specifically saving and loading variables.
