In the “Server” subfolder, you will find configuration files for each server or hosted game that you’ve set up. They will be named “<servername>.ini”, “<servername>_SandboxVars.lua” and so on. Upload these files into the same location on the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.cache\/Server<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, in “Saves\/Multiplayer\/<servername>” you will find all the world save information, which includes items, zombies, players, vehicles etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Upload this folder to the server’s “Multiplayer” folder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n .cache\/Saves\/Multiplayer\/”Project”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you maintain server name. As this may cause issues with the database. Certain database files refer to the server name so changing it could have adverse effects.<\/p>Note:<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n There is also a “<servername>.db” file in the “db” folder. This file contains login information for Steam accounts (when using the host option in-game) or user \/ password based accounts when hosting a dedicated server. Due to how Steam accounts are not compatible with user \/ password accounts, I recommend NOT<\/strong> including this file. More on this in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You also have to install mods that were in the local hosted sever to the rented server. or else you will be faced with missing mods errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can do this by simply copying the lines form your local server to the config file on the hosted server and save<\/p>\n\n\n\n WorkshopItems=2701170568;5801370468<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mods=ModManager;modoptions;MoreDescriptionForTraits<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flow this tutorial for an in-depth guide on how to install the mods on the PZ server.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Players who’ve been playing in your world before might not be able to log into the same characters they’ve played as before, and instead have to create a new character altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid this you have two options<\/p>\n\n\n\n or<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to the “Saves” subfolder, then “Multiplayer”. In here you’ll have one folder for each server you’ve joined. Hosted games will have the format “<steamid>_<servername>_player”. (This uses the Steam ID of the person who hosted the game.) Dedicated servers have the format “<address>_<port>_…”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve found the right folders, delete the files inside the dedicated server folder to which you want to copy the map information. Then copy the files from the hosted game folder into the dedicated server folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for a Project Zomboid Server to rent?
