How to Add a Savegame to Your Longvinter Server

The save of a Longvinter server is not a single file but the complete SaveGames folder. It contains many .sav files that together hold the world, all tents, chests and the progress of your players.

Structure of the save

Longvinter stores several .sav files in the SaveGames folder that belong together: the server saves the world in sections and writes out the placed objects, the chests and the player data alongside it. How many files there are and what exactly they are called depends on the state of your server and changes with updates.

Upload the savegame

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard. While the server is running it writes to the save files itself and would overwrite your upload.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open the directory
   Navigate to the following directory:

   /Longvinter/Saved/SaveGames/
   

4. Remove the old save
   Delete all existing .sav files in this folder. If files of the old save are left behind, they get mixed with your new save.

5. Upload the new save
   Upload all .sav files of your save into this directory. The file names have to stay unchanged.

6. Start the server
   Start your server. The new save is now loaded.
