I was able to do it by taking the contents of the source player file and dumping it into the destination player file. For this to work the player has to connect to the server and generate a new player, then dump into that new file.
Some things to consider: During this test I was able to import all of the player inventory, except the ship. I believe the ship is part of the world data, so that's something to be mindful of. Players will have to likely build a new ship, but if they're rich already who cares right?
What I did:
I took the contents of source player and dumped into destination player. I used linux, but it should work in windows command prompt as well with either of the following commands:
In Linux/cygwin: cat player_1 > player_7
in Windows CLI: type player_1 > player 7 (untested)
There are likely other ways to do it as well, ie a text editor like notepad, but if the editor handles spacing wrong or puts in word wrap your file is corrupt - been warned.
That should be all that you need to do, hope it helps!
If anyone figures out how to move the ships as well (including their positional data) please share with us! Wouldn't mind getting a sticky thread going as there's always people moving from one friends server to a dedicated mixed with other people's accounts.
