You may have previously self-hosted a Barotrauma session that you now want to resume on your new Shockbyte Barotrauma server.
Although Barotrauma servers support the usage of previously played multiplayer world saves, they do not support using singleplayer saves on a multiplayer server.
Important
In order to change the active server save or end the current game session, you will need to be connected as an administrator.
# Locating Local Save Files
Before you can upload your existing save to your server, you must locate the file on your computer.
- Click Load Game.
- Click Show in Folder.
- Open the Multiplayer folder.
- Locate both the
<SaveName>.saveand<SaveName>_CharacterData.xmlfiles, and make a note of their location.
# Uploading a World to your Server
To use an existing save, both of its corresponding save files must be uploaded to your server.
- Navigate to your control panel and Stop your server.
- Access your server files via FTP, we recommend using Filezilla.
- Navigate to
/Daedalic Entertainment GmbH/Barotrauma/Multiplayer.
- Upload your previously located save files.
- Start your server.
# Loading an Existing Save
After you've uploaded the save to your server an administrator will need to load it in the server lobby.
- Join your server as an admin.
- Select Campaign then click Load Campaign.
- Select your uploaded save, then click Load.
