Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with my implementation of BTSync. For some background, myself and my clients are using BTSync to synchronize mod folders to a specific directory for a game (Arma 3), to keep our modded content up-to-date across all users. We decided to try this because a group I was a member of used this same method, and it worked great! So, the mod folders need to be placed in the base directory for the game, which naturally contains additional files and folders. I set up a sync folder to a directory that contains all of the files that I want to be synced to my clients, and they all configure their BTSync with the provided Read Only key, and set the destination to their game folder so the mods are placed there automatically. When a client syncs in this way, all files and folders are deleted from their specified destination directory with the exception of the files found within my directory they are syncing with. So we're seeing all of the mod folders present, but all of the necessary files for the game are removed, which is not good. I thought to add those necessary game files to the sync, but I believe that this solution may cause additional problems to arise. For example, one of the folders (MPMissions) is empty by default, but is filled with user content that will be different for each client, because that is where user-created missions are stored. I worry that every time a client would save a file, BTSync would recognize that their folder isn't matching and would immediately delete the file(s). I also discovered that the clients could set their destination to a sub-folder and then move the files manually, but I'm bothered that I can't get it to work the way I'm trying to configure it, because I know it's possible to get those files in there without compromising necessary game files. Is it possible to exclude folders in a directory from being indexed/changed by BTSync? Any suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated, I'm up for trying anything. Please let me know if I can provide any more information, I'll gladly append this post with anything that would be helpful. Thanks for reading!
