Set Soulmask save and backup intervals correctly

Soulmask has two persistence intervals: Save Time Interval writes game objects to the database, while Backup Interval writes that database to disk. Both are measured in seconds. Neither replaces a recoverable panel backup.

Set the two intervals

  1. Stop the server and create a panel backup before changing persistence settings.
  2. Open Startup and record the current Save Time Interval and Backup Interval.
  3. Enter the intended interval in seconds in each field. For example, 300 seconds is five minutes; stay within each field's accepted range.
  4. Start and watch the save messages. After a normal stop and restart, check that recent progress remains in the same world.
Open Startup → Variables for the controls exposed by this server. This demonstration hides private values; file edits are made through Files.
