Can't Access Profile

[Yamamoto80]

Hi all-

 

I was tinkering around with an XML file and it caused some parsing errors (am a bit new to XML editing....). When my main file/game loaded up it was a new character out in the middle of the wilderness. Map is still filled in from what I had previously uncovered. Decided it was best to Verify my File Integrity via steam hoping it would resolve the issue. Did not. What do I need to do to log back in to my character / profile that has all my stats and items?

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: I have my Players.xml file in my AppData folder... It has only been myself and one other person on this map. However he had a persistent profile problem and had to restart his character the following day when he tried to log back in.

~Update~

Located my player profile (i.e. Steam ID) matching the corresponding .TTP file in AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Saves\PREGEN03\Pre Gen 03\Player. There is only two files, one for me and one for my friend... if what I have been reading is correct then this is where my other character profile should be that has all of my XP and Items... And it is not here.

Help?

There should be 3 files for each player in your "Player" folder.

[steam-id].map, .ttp and .ttp.bak

 

ttp.bak is a backup of your player file and you could replace your .ttp with that one to see if it fixes it.

Usually it does not fix it if you have logged on twice since the player profile was broken.

 

If your profile is gone, and you don't have a backup, there's nothing that can be done to recover it.

 

Maybe you accidently started a new game? You can check the "Saves" folder for other games, and

maybe you'll find the missing player profile.

 

If you want to do modding, I'd recommend backing up first.

 

If you can't get your character back, you can recover your lost xp with the command "giveselfxp" in the

console (F1) and you can recover your lost items by using the creative menu. (turn on with "cm" in the console.)

 

If you post your log as instructed in the "please read before creating new threads" post, maybe someone

can figure out what went wrong, and maybe offer a suggestion so that it doesn't happen again.

Fair enough. Had no clue whatsoever that the instructional thread you posted even existed.

Will try to get logs uploaded tomorrow morning.

 

Thank you for the advice.

Ya, no worries, no one sees it.

I ended up having to use DM and CM commands to effectively recreate my character. Lesson learned, will be backing up .ttp files from now on haha. Truth be told this whole ordeal happened from me wanting to reintroduce the Blood Draw Kit item that was previously removed.... *smh* I just wanted something functional so I started with another Broken Glass recipe that damaged the player and yielded a blood bag, able to be crafted with polymers and grain alcohol. But then decided to start playing around with the mesh file, and the icon, and changing the debuff to another, and so on... Amateur Hour at the XML lab lmfao 🙄😂
