You can bring an Unturned world you already have, from your own computer or another host, to your PlayNHost server.
Back up first. Uploading a world with the same name as the one on the server replaces it. Create a backup of the current world (see How to create, download and restore backups), stop the server, and keep your own original files until the server loads the new world.
Upload and load your world
- Stop the server and make a panel backup first (Backups, then Start backup), because the upload replaces your current world.
- Open Files, go to Servers, then into your server's folder.
- Upload the saved world data from your old server's folder, replacing what is there. Keep Commands.dat and Config.txt from the old server too if you want the same settings.
- Check that the Map line in Server/Commands.dat names the same map as your old world.
- Start the server and watch the console until it reports that loading is complete and prints a Server Code.
Large files are best uploaded with SFTP. See How to connect to your server files with SFTP and How to upload, edit and manage your server files.
Start a fresh world
Starting fresh can permanently remove the current world. Back it up first.
- Stop the server and make a panel backup first. The next steps permanently delete your world, buildings, player data, settings and Rocket plugins from the server, and the backup is the only way back.
- Copy Server/Commands.dat, Config.txt and your Rocket plugin files somewhere safe if you want to keep them.
- In Files, delete your server's folder under Servers. This removes everything in it, including the world, settings and plugins.
- Start the server. A fresh folder and fresh default files are generated on first launch.
- Put your saved Commands.dat, Config.txt and plugins back and restart if you want the old settings.
