In Topic: Need help installing backup maps

21 May 2016 - 10:54 PM

It appears I've led you all on a wild goose chase. Let me explain. Now, it appears that there IS a compatibility issue, but it does not have anything to do with my operating system. I've just gone onto the Guest Account and tested the worlds, expecting them not to work. Instead, they worked perfectly fine! And that's not even the best part. After I reinstalled my Minecraft client on my computer, they worked! I guess what I'm saying is, if you're having the same issue, you should probably back up all your worlds and your server addresses.

 

That's right! If you want to solve the problem, you have to reinstall your Minecraft Client! One thing still puzzles me, though. I'm wondering if it had anything to do with the fact that I'd installed OptiFine in the past. I may not have found the source of the problem, but that doesn't mean I didn't find the solution. I'll allow this topic to continue if necessary. Even though I was the one who found the solution, I'd like to thank all the admins who helped me, as well as JoyJoy. I'll be fishing for a way to use commands in the worlds I've downloaded!

OS shouldn't matter for this, and I've loaded worlds into single-player by just dropping the world straight into the saves folder.

 

Where exactly are you trying to put the world folder (what's the directory structure for where you're going, i.e. '~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves/'), and which folder are you putting in it?

Going by what you just said, I think something must have happened with my Minecraft save. I'll look into that later, but I'd still like someone else to try loading the current world backups. As for the latter question, my directory is "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves". I put the world folder into that folder, like I would download any other map. The thing for me is, I've downloaded maps before, but not from Brohoof. For example, I've downloaded the "Dropper" maps, "Herobrine's Revenge", and others that may use MCEdit. I happen to have a guest account on my laptop, so I'll try testing the maps out on that account. In the meantime, I'd like to know if anyone else has tried downloading these worlds. I'd still like to get to the source of the problem.

Now, you've mentioned both 'running it in your client' and 'server.jar', so which are you trying to do, exactly?

 

If you want it on a server, you should just be able to change server.properties for level-name: <exactworldname>, and then drop the world folder in.

Well, I mainly wanted to run it in single player mode, just for simplicity. You've done this before, right? It should be easy. I don't know why it's not behaving right, but I think it might just be a compatibility issue. Okay, new plan. I think somebody should try the same thing on a Windows PC. Just to see what happens. I don't have a Windows computer.

What exactly is the problem? What is happening that shouldn't be happening? Are you getting any errors in the console output?

 

Well, when I tried loading the world into a new server jar from the Minecraft website, it didn't work. I tried messing around with the properties file on a local multiplayer server (not public, by the way; my friends and I play on VPN sometimes), but something interesting happened. I got this warning that the server jar couldn't find the spawn biome, and I have good reason to believe that it completely corrupted the map. I spawned in a biome, and I did not see anything from the server. Whenever I try loading them in single player mode, they just won't show up in the game menu, even though they're in the "saves" folder.


When you unzipped the world file, it most likely spat it out as <zipfilename>/<actualworld>/<worldfiles>. If the folder you're opening has just another folder in it, it won't work.

 

Open the folder you unzipped, and inside will be the actual folder you want (i.e. equestria5, fallouteq4, equestria4, et cetera). Move that folder with all the world files out of the unzipped folder and into your saves folder.

 

 

Also, since you're running this just on your client and not a Bukkit server with plug-ins, a lot of stuff will start melting/bursting into flames depending on where you go.

Well, I knew the world was going to be acting weird, but yeah. I knew what I was getting into, and the worlds I tried to load were actually copies. Just so I had the real thing somewhere else. I've got some weird files in there, too. For one thing, there's an unfamiliar folder called MCEDIT.TEMP and two odd files I've never seen before, each called touchfile and uid.dat. Everything else seems normal, except the DIM folders are missing. I honestly don't know whether that's good or bad.
