Hammelpilaw Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 You must shut down the server before you upload the new files, or they get overwritten when the server shuts down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSid Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 so shut the server down upload then change the directory . Once i do that can i switch between the 2 save files or will the new one be the only one i can accses ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSY Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 So there are a couple ways you can go about this. On a dedicated server: You can replace the currently named Galaxy the server is set to use with the other save by replacing the files underneath the folder with the name of the Galaxy the server is using, or you can put your other save in same directory with it's own name, go into config and switch between the two galaxies by changing the name it is using. If you are wanting to merge saves, the player.dat files contain each players info such as money and resources and list of weapons and mods in their inventory, and you can also manually move over individual sector files if I remember correctly.

SirSid Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 My problem is changing the config file to load another world dose not work . Also changing the name of the file to the same as what the server is using is not working ehter. It seems the server will only run the save file it creates , no other file have i had any luck getting it to load. Perhaps in missing something in the files i need to change over im changing the directory on the start.bat file that was what i found in my searches online to do .
