Uploading your Single Player save to your Windrose server

info

Before uploading your single player world, make sure you switch your instance OFF to prevent data loss/ corruption.

This guide will take you through uploading your single-player world save to your Windrose server. To get started, we'll prepare the Panel for uploading our file. First:

1. Select Windrose under Games & Software on the CreeperPanel.
2. Next, select Files, found under Settings in the instance's sub-menu.
3. Navigate through the directories as follows: R5
4. Saved
5. SaveProfiles
6. Default
7. RocksDB
8. Version number - this folder is subject to change dependent on the game's version: this example uses 0.10.0.
9. Worlds
10. You should now see an empty directory in the main window of the File Manager.

Next, you'll need to locate your local save you wish to upload. Press Win+R, and enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles. Open your Steam or Epic ID folder, then RocksDB > 0.10.0 > Worlds. You should now see your local world saves.

Now we need to prepare the world to upload to the Panel - it must be in .ZIP format, else you won't be able to upload it to the Panel.

11. Right-click the world you wish to upload, then,
12. Select Compress to, then
13. .ZIP File.

14. Select your newly created .ZIP archive, and then,
15. Drag-and-drop it into the open directory on the CreeperPanel.

16. Right-click the uploaded file in the CreeperPanel, then
17. Select Extract.

18. Select Extract in the pop-up window. This will extract the files to a new directory inside the Worlds folder.

Now we need to instruct Windrose to load your uploaded world. In the File Manager;

19. Navigate back to the R5 directory.
20. Inside you will see a file called ServerDescription.json - double-click to edit the file.

21. Locate the WorldIslandID line, and replace the existing value with the exact same name as the world you have just uploaded.
22. When you have correctly entered the world ID, select the Save button in the top right of the File Manager window to save your changes.

That's it - you should load into your uploaded world the next time you start and join your server!
