The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria

Upload an existing Return to Moria world to a dedicated server

PC world saves can be copied to Moria/Saved/SaveGamesDedicated. World files begin with MW_ and end in .sav. Keep the original filename and a separate copy of the source save.

File locations used below — relative to the server root
MoriaServerConfig.ini

Make the change

  1. Close the local game and copy the intended world from its SaveGamesSteam or SaveGamesEpic folder.
  2. Stop the hosted server and back up its current Moria/Saved/SaveGamesDedicated directory.
  3. Upload the world save into that directory without renaming it.
  4. Set World Name to the existing world’s name. For duplicate names, use the publisher’s OptionalWorldFilename setting in MoriaServerConfig.ini to select the intended file.
  5. Start and join, then check familiar builds and world progress.

World NameIdentifies the world or save to load. Record the original value before changing it; another name can select a different save. Up to 80 characters.

Check the result

Do not delete the local source after the first successful connection. Check the dedicated save again after a normal restart; the local and hosted copies no longer synchronize automatically.
