Uploading an existing world to a server

[J Bush]

are you able to upload an existing world to the servers you can get that vintage story themselves run? id like to use an existing world to play with friends

Unfortunately, not at this time. It's in the "Limitations" section on the But Server page.

[EDIT]

However, you could start one with the seed from your world.

I'm just gonna try and use bisecthosting and see if I can do it in there because they've got more control for the server side stuff

@J Bushand @Thorfinn Yes you can upload a server, at-least with a self hosted Dedicated server i was able to get the world my wife and i started hosted on my trunas scale server just fine, although a few steps to convert the world over, first

follow these steps to get a container running 

Once you have it up delete all saves inside of the VintageStory/vs/Saves on the server upload your save there *Copy your world name this is important*

Navigate to VintageStory/vs/serverconfig.json

change the name of the world to your save file "default"
```
  "WorldConfig": {
    "Seed": null,
    "SaveFileLocation": "/srv/gameserver/data/vs/Saves/default.vcdbs",
```

lastly replace the player data inside of the VintageStory/vs/Playerdata with your works save data and everything should boot up like nothing happened atleast for me it did

note i ran all of this with like 124 mods dont think that will be an issue, but for example if you had XLeveling i would move that over as well to the save data
