How to Upload an Existing Icarus Save to Your Server

This tutorial will guide you through the process of uploading a custom world file to your Icarus dedicated server.

If you get stuck at any time, Game Host Bros offers free save transfers. Just reach out to a bro on Discord.

Note

If you haven’t already, you need to connect to your server, then create a new prospect to generate the necessary files on your server.

Finding Your Save Files

Worlds aren’t found in the game files. They’re found in a different location, which can be accessed by doing this:

1. Press Windows Key + R.
2. Enter this:

   %LocalAppData%/ICARUS/Saved/PlayerData

3. Open the folder named after your SteamID64, and then enter Prospects.
4. Copy your prospect.json file.
   • For example, if your Prospect is named MySave, your save file will be MySave.json in the Prospects folder.

Uploading Your World

This is how to upload and load your existing save. These steps will use the example of MySave.json for the name of your save file.

1. Log in to the Game Host Bros Game Panel and stop your Icarus server.
2. Go to Management > File Manager.
3. Navigate to /ICARUS/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects.
4. Upload your MySave.json save file.

Loading Your World

1. Log in to the Game Host Bros Game Panel and stop your Icarus server.
2. Go to Management > File Manager.
3. Navigate to /ICARUS/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettings.ini. In ServerSettings.ini, edit LoadProspect= to the name of your save.
4. Start your server.

Once uploaded, your server files should look like this:

ServerSettings.ini

• DirectoryICARUS

  • DirectorySaved

    • DirectoryConfig

      • DirectoryWindowsServer
