While this isn't the first resource to do file i/o or the first one to sync up data, it is the first one to do file i/o with strings and is the first one to sync up data with strings. Furthermore, it syncs all data up at the exact same time meaning that the syncs will be fast even with large quantities of data.
The syncing has currently been tested up to 210,000 characters of data. The file i/o (online and offline) has been tested up to 21,000,000 characters of data. Be warned that even though all of the syncs occur at the same time, a large quantity of data will still take a while to transmit.
This resource relies on something called Allow Local Files in the registry to be enabled. The reason resources like this in the past have never been submitted is because of this fact. However, this resource will write a file that will enable it for you and it can detect whether it's enabled or not. This makes it a viable option for online b.net games as then the average player can run the file. This will only work easily with Windows. For macs, there is a solution to get this working :\. As such, it is recommended that you still support loading up the data via -load code. Tell the users where the data can be found so that they can input it all manually if they are on a mac and don't know how to configure it or are on a Linux system.
This resource can read from multiple files at once, but it can only write to one file at a time.
