Yeah so, my friend spawned in a sum of 2 trillion cigs, and full crashed the server. how do i delete his save file?

#

(only his save file, like player file)

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 11:06 AM

#

Player data is saved in the players.db file in the server save folder

#

You will have to use a database editor such as SQLite Studio, access the file and delete the "Data" section of the player

Thanks, worked like a charm

#

Do you know where the corpse is and is it in a location that is important to you?

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:06 PM

green yarrow Do you know where the corpse is and is it in a location that is important to you...

Is this just me or does it say none is in this post-

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

Just you

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

ight

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

To understand the issue, are you unable to start the server?

#

Or load into it?

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

Correct

#

it stops responding, or else id use an admin tool to delete the body

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

What happens when you load in a different username

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

hm?

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

Load in the server using a different username

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

This is a host off my account, not a dedicated

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

Change your Steam name, then join

#

It has the same effect

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:12 PM

#

Thats a thing? ill be damned. alright, one moment.

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:12 PM

#

And spawn far from where your base is if you can get to the spawn selection

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:12 PM

#

the 'real name' or just my profile name?

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:13 PM

#

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:19 PM

#

C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid\backups is where they are saved

#

You can load a backup by replacing the server Save folder from the one in the backup

#

Then place the contents of the backup/db folder in the server save folder as well

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

%appdata%

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:21 PM

#

green yarrow C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid\backups is where they are saved

Is this the exact directory?

#

These?

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

Yes

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

This is the only folders, what happened to my other servers then?

#

Not an issue for rn

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

green yarrow Yes

So, copy?

#

#

Mind if i get the directory there aswell? saves me some time

merry jasper Dec 20, 2024, 7:40 PM

#

green yarrow Yes

Hello?

#

Alright then..

green yarrow Dec 20, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

Open the backup folder, you can see it is simply a backup of your Zomboid folder

#

You can then place stuff based on that
