How do I transfer my gameplay settings too?

Also replace the GameXishu.json file in ../soulmask/WS/Saved/GameplaySettings. If the file has a slightly different name (e.g., GameXishu_2.json), rename it to GameXishu.json so the server can recognize it.

Introduction

In this guide, we’ll show you how to manage your Soulmask save games on your game server, including backing up local and server save games and uploading them to your server.

Preparation

To access your server files, you’ll need an FTP client such as WinSCP or FileZilla. Both are open source and free to use.

Connect to your server using an FTP client and the credentials you can find in the Files tab (or FTP/SFTP access) of your game server. For more help connecting, see our FTP Access guide.

Save Game Backup

Tip

As an alternative to manual FTP access, you can download your current save game with a click using the Savegame-Manager in the Savegames tab of your game server, or upload a new one using drag and drop—no FTP client needed. The FTP instructions below are still useful as an alternative or for local backups.

Local Save Game

Local save games are created when you host a multiplayer game locally on your device. You can find them in Windows Local AppData at the following path:

Code

../AppData/Local/WS/[deine_steamid]/AutoGames

Tip

You can open this path directly by pressing STRG + R and entering the following path in the Run dialog: %userprofile%/appdata/local/WS/. Click OK, then open the folder with your Steam ID to find the AutoGames folder.

You’ll find all your local save games there. Each folder is named after the server’s invite code, making it easy to identify the right world.

Access a Save Game via FTP

Backing up your save game from the server is easy. Once you’ve connected to your game server using an FTP client, navigate to this path:

Code

../soulmask/WS/Saved/Worlds/Dedicated

There, you’ll find the main folder Level01_Main, which contains the Dedicated Server save game. Right-click the folder and select Download to save it locally on your device.

Info

Soulmask Dedicated Servers currently support only one save game at a time, located in the main folder Level01_Main.

Automatic Backup

We automatically back up your game server every day. With the ZapX Pass, you can also create, restore, and download your own backups at any time in the Backups tab of your game server—with ZapX Pass Pro, you can even schedule automatic backups. For more information, see our dedicated Backups guide.

Upload a Save Game

Uploading your save game is just as easy as backing it up. First, connect to your game server using an FTP client and make sure your server is turned off.

Info

Soulmask Dedicated Servers currently support only one save game at a time, located in the main folder Level01_Main.

Navigate to this path:

Code

../soulmask/WS/Saved/Worlds/Dedicated/Level01_Main

Now drag and drop the world.db file from the save game you want to upload into this folder, replacing the existing file. Download the existing file first if you want to keep it; otherwise, it will be lost.

You can also upload your gameplay settings by going to this path:

Code

../soulmask/WS/Saved/GameplaySettings

Drag and drop the GameXishu.json file from the save game you want to upload into this folder, replacing the existing file. Again, download the existing file first if you want to keep it.

Tip

If the save game's GameXishu.json file has a slightly different name, such as GameXishu_2.json, rename it to GameXishu.json so the Dedicated Server can recognize it.

Simply restart the server, and your save game should load successfully.
