Hello, Is it possible to import an existing server

ISpaikI commented 8 months ago

Would be an option which we could add. Keep your old files dont cut them out! You dont want to lose data.

But for now:

hit install steamcmd button
insert the settings of your server into the server settings in the esm window, save them
copy the server files (the files where enshrouded_server.exe is located) into /"esm folder"/servers/"profilename"
Reload the esm application by close and opening it again.

Should look like this: /"Esm folder"/enshrouded server manager.exe /"Esm folder"/servers/"profilename"/enshrouded_server.exe

Feedback if everything works would be good.

Another way if it doesnt work:

hit install steamcmd button
insert the settings of your server into the server settings in the esm window, save them
hit install server button
copy your old savedata from the old savegame folder of the server, hit the savegame folder button and place your saves in the folder that opens up

You should have two server profiles right now if i am right. Every server profile has its own server data downloaded and installed. We dont wanted to access the data of the serverfiles from more than one server. Means every server has its own install location and need to be updated separatly.

ISpaikI commented 8 months ago

The buttons on the left act for the selected profile. If you choose tuvoktv and click savgame folder it opens up the savegame folder of the tuvoktv server. If you are running two servers at the same time, gameport and queryport needs to be different. Example: tuvoktv runs on 17636 and 17637, tuvoktv community needs to run at 17638 and 17639

I have a Backup Manager designed for backing up and importing save games to your personal game directory, but you could use this for importing to a server folder in the meantime. If you already know about where the files go, this is probably not very useful though. I made it because there were people downloading my save game files that had no idea how to get to the steam/.../remote folder

I eventually want us to have the functionality to restore saves and restart on an interval, so I can publicly host a game that has a ton of free resources and reset it every 20 minutes or so

The second folder was a bug. Should be gone. Thanks for reporting. About the bug: if you add spaces in profilename the folder will be changed to it. We forget about quotes for force install dir on steamcmd.

The current pre-release v0.6.0 has a restore backup feature that would be the equivalent of importing a save file from some other server. There is some danger in using this, as it will overwrite the server you restore to. It's recommended that you make a backup first, before using this feature.
