How would my friend transfer his server and player data (x7 people player data) to ME basically the problem is hes on a shitty pc with shitty wifi, and we're trying to figure out how to give me the server. Due to the server having mass issues such as chunks not loading, etc. (hes hosting on a horrible laptop)

Is it run using the ingame host menu or dedicated server ?

#

and will you be running it in ingame host menu or dedicated server ?

#

ingame hostr

#

we found out how to do it, except when I loaded in, nothing player built, or any of the cars were in our base. (basically just a new seed building)

#

if you'd know how to solve that

and the proper save in Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer

meager breach Oct 30, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

yep

iron dagger Oct 30, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

copy the save again into Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer

#

take note of the file size of the folder

#

of the save itself

#

#

start up the server again through host and go in, let me know if the size of the folder has shrunken

I would like to check if the weird thing where it mostly resets the world is happening with you when transfering worlds

iron dagger Oct 30, 2024, 4:06 AM

#

meager breach we found out how to do it, except when I loaded in, nothing player built, or any...

because i've seen that happening from transfering worlds to other computers

meager breach Oct 30, 2024, 4:06 AM

#

Alright, so how would we do that

iron dagger Oct 30, 2024, 4:07 AM

#

the above, #1301015129365676136 message

#

copy/check server folder size, open and load in from host menu, check server folder size again to see if it shrunk

meager breach Oct 30, 2024, 4:37 AM

#

#

#

You're not running into the problem I've seen before, I'm not sure what's happening to your world. Try asking your friend to compress and upload another copy of the world for you

meager breach Oct 30, 2024, 4:39 AM

#

alrighty

iron dagger Oct 30, 2024, 4:41 AM

#

If the same thing, send me a link to the world and I'll test it

iron dagger If the same thing, send me a link to the world and I'll test it

if its too much of a hastle we can just restart the world, we had some progress but we can just get it back. We just wanted to try to see if we COULD transfer

Best if you delete the whole world save folder in Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer to restart
