Replacing players.db on a dedicated server with adjusted values not working.

[whole oasis]

As the title says, I needed to relocate a bunch of players on a multiplayer server after the latest patch. Unfortunately, when I use the .db modifier, and reupload to the server, the new coordinates for the characters don't seem to be working. I've followed the guides I've found for doing so, but I feel like I must be missing something.

Could you elaborate on what you are trying to do exactly and what the situation is between the two servers?

Are the two servers you are moving between identical?

[whole oasis]

Sure. So we had a bit of an issue with the server, and we needed to relocate all of the players from where they were on the map to new locations. I pulled the players.db from the online server host (gamehostbros), and used a db viewer to modify the x,y,z coordinates of each character. I then reuploaded the players.db back to the server itself after removing the old .db completely. At this point, the server failed to recognize the new coordinates.

It's the same server overall, just trying to change the player locations without manually having to log in as every account and moving the characters like that, which would take hours with as many players as we have.

like this?

I see, I do not think I have attempted doing that before, since as far as I know, the locations are saved in the player data itself as well

The players.db location data is only tracking it as an extra

Meaning you would have to look in the player data blob itself and change the location there, or just manually teleport players

Yeah, that's right.

Manually teleporting is what were trying first, but it takes a long time to do with all of the logging in and logging out. Took us 3 hours just for 13 people.

Where is this "player data blob"

[mental path]

1. As admin teleporting to need coords. Exit game, shutdown server.
2. going to server save, example (see pict) and find players.db
3. copy players.db to another folder (backup).
4. open data base in saved folder, find admin player from point 1. take coords and copy past from players. Save db and lauch server.
5. when players connects - They will spawn at the location by the admin's coordinates.

i use DB.Browser.for.SQLite-3.12.2-win64 program for working with the database

[whole oasis]

Yes, I did that, but when players load in, they return to their original position.

[mental path]

maybe you save as another name? check last modified file db after saved in server save folder

[whole oasis]

Nope, it is saved correctly
