Saving Headless Worlds
When you're running a headless server, you may wish to save changes to the world for things like collaborative building. When doing this keep in mind:
- You must have save access to the world you are trying to save.
- Simply loading someone else's world via your configuration file might not give you this permissions.
- Saving must be configured or invoked, saving is not automatic.
- Check the parameters with "save" in them on our configuration file page.
- Also see the headless commands reference for how to invoke a save.
- For Cloud saving (saveAsOwner:"CloudUser"), you must:
- Ensure the headless is logged into a user account
- Ensure the logged in user has cloud storage space for the world and any changes
For a smooth experience if you want to save a world from a headless it is recommended to:
- Copy worlds you might want to save changes to, to the headless user's account using Save As
- You'll need to log in as the headless user on regular Resonite to do this
- Utilize Groups, and load the headless world from a group's storage
- This let's your group work on and save a headless' world without interacting with the headless. The next time it restarts it'll pickup the changes from the group storage.
- When doing this make sure to disable saving on the headless, make all changes outside it.
- Experiment: Create a headless, add a cube to the world, save it, make sure the cube stays there. Don't do a lot of work without validating your setup.
