Followers 2 Map update By zulg, April 5 in RWSpectorisle map 5k Closed 1.0.5 Report reply zulg Posted April 5 Not sure how to update a map that's already actively being used! do i just stop the server then upload the updated map thru the ftp and let it override? And the update want mess with any players bases or anything else will it?Thanks Quote Share this comment Link to comment Report reply Immp77 Posted April 5 theres 2 ways to update a map, the safest way is to do a fresh wipe so if you have something like backpacks for a plugin just make them bag everything they can carry and reload the server with a new save. the other you will wanna go look up a guide but you can rename the old save to the new map, this is tricky and can cause some things to break so its not recomended but is possible Quote Share this comment Link to comment Report reply Immp77 Posted April 5 Changed Status from Pending to Work in Progress Quote Share this comment Link to comment Report reply zulg Posted April 6 I'll have to wait then My server only wipes monthly, there's no way to catch all the players online to tell them to load there items and reset the map, i'll just update it and put it back in wipe cycle for next time use, thanks Quote Share this comment Link to comment Report reply Immp77 Posted April 6 ya monthly is tricky, like i said you can use the sav file method, its just not 100% all the time Quote Share this comment Link to comment Report reply Immp77 Posted April 7 Changed Status from Work in Progress to Closed Quote Share this comment Link to comment
