How to Upload an Existing World Save to Your Windrose Server

Before You Start

Always create a backup of your save files before attempting to move or copy them.

Locating Your Existing Windrose Save

Windrose saves each world in a folder named with its WorldID, a long alphanumeric string. You will need this folder name later.

1. Press Windows Key + R and enter: %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
2. Open the folder named with your Steam ID, then navigate to RocksDB\[GameVersion]\Worlds\.
3. Note down the WorldID folder name of the world you want to upload.

Full path:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\[SteamID]\RocksDB\[GameVersion]\Worlds\[WorldID]

Uploading Your Save to Your Server

1. Log in to the DoomHosting Panel and Stop your Windrose server.
2. Using SFTP, upload your WorldID folder to: /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/[GameVersion]/Worlds/
3. In the sidebar, go to Startup.
4. Find the WorldIslandId field and set it to match your uploaded folder name.
5. Start your server.

Your world should now load when the server starts up. If the server fails to start, double-check that the WorldID in the JSON file exactly matches the folder name you uploaded.
