question: i have on the server 2 maps, can i switch ? (my own rented server from gportal)

like i do at homeplay with the offline maps? or will the saves get killed?

 

we have a new game made at day 5...and a game at day 62..both different maps...

and in the server menu i can choose a map

 

can i play the one map on the server and when im bored, i switch to the other? and backwards?

thx a lot

Yes you should be able to play any saved game that is on your server, switching back and forth just by changing the seed name in the command line. I think this is what you are asking.

There are two ways you can do this.

 

You duplicate the serverconfig.xml, and make sure you use a different seed. To switch between servers, you just start the server using the different config files. For example:

 

./startserver.sh -configfile=serverconfig1.xml

and

./startserver.sh -configfile=serverconfig2.xml

 

You need to shut down one server before you start the other.

 

You can also have both games running at the same time by editing one of the serverconfig.xml files to have a different port. Look for the line:

<property name="Server Port" value="26900"/>

 

Change 26900 to something else at least 10 digits away. I use 27900.

 

Then when you join the server, instead of leaving it at the default 26900, you type in 27900:

 

However, this is only recommended if you  have plenty of RAM. (32Gb+ if you use larger maps)
