Changing your world on your Soulmask instance

info

Before changing your world, ensure your instance is switched OFF to prevent data loss/ corruption.

Using the CreeperPanel

Using the Panel to change your instance's world is easy. To get started:

1. Select your Soulmask instance in the Panel's side-bar.
2. Navigate to Settings, found under Settings in the sub-menu.
3. Select the dropdown option under Game Map, and select Shifting Sands.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

5. Click the Save button to save your changes; navigating away from the page without doing so means your map change won't persist on startup.

Using SSH

To change your map using SSH, load your SSH program of choice and log in to your server. Next:

1. Navigate your Soulmask directory. By default on CreeperHost services, it will be located in /home/minecraft/soulmask; your installation location may vary. In this example, we need to type:

cd /home/minecraft/soulmask

then hit return.

2. Type

ls

and hit return to list the available files.

3. We need to open the ServerStart.sh file; type the command

vi StartServer.sh

to do so. The command is case sensitive - make sure any capitals in the file name are present in the command.

4. We'll need to edit the file now. To enter edit mode, press I/ INS. Make sure your terminal displays --INSERT-- in the bottom right - you can toggle between INSERT and REPLACE. Navigate to Level01_Main.

5. Change Level01_Main to DLC_Level01_Main; it should look like the example below. Press Esc to exit edit mode.

6. To save the changes and stop viewing the file, press and hold SHIFT, and hit the Z key twice. You should return to the parent directory.

7. You can now make sure that your server starts - to do so, enter the command

./StartServer.sh

You should now see the loading process taking place in the terminal.

That's it; next time you join your server, you should load into the Shifting Sands map! Welcome to Soulmask 1.0!
