Continue the correct Necesse world after changing plans or restarting

Save Name is passed to Necesse’s -world option. The template also uses -localdir, so hosted data is kept with the server installation rather than a guessed desktop user directory.

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up its local world data and cfg directory.
  2. Record the exact Save Name used by the working world.
  3. Check the existing world files in Files and preserve their names and folder structure.
  4. Set Save Name back to the intended existing world, without renaming unrelated files.
  5. Start, join and inspect a known settlement and character state.
Controls used in this task
Panel fieldWhat to keep in mind
Save NameIdentifies the world or save to load. Record the original value before changing it; another name can select a different save. Up to 20 characters.

Check the result

A server-password change does not require a new save name. If the world still fails, preserve the world-load error and backup instead of overwriting it with a blank world.
