30 words direct answer
Test in isolation on a copy first; do not change the official archive directly.
Detailed description
This is a community experience level issue, not an official security process. The correct sequence is: first make a complete backup of the world file, player file and settings; then confirm on the copy whether the old player data still exists or whether it is just a misalignment of the corresponding identification; when you need to process UUID (unique identification code) or player file mapping, you can only test tools or manual solutions on the copy. Do not apply single post success stories directly to the official server. In case of failure, roll back to the backup before the upgrade.
Judge your situation first
| what do you want to do now | Judgment method | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Replace the hard drive or move the machine | First make sure that the world file, player file and settings have been completely transferred, and then open a dungeon to test and log in. | See upgrade list |
| Change account / UUID does not match | Treat this like an identity mapping problem: first check on the instance to see if the old player profile exists, and then decide if you need the tool. | See server risks |
| Already entered and changed into a new character | Stop immediately and stop serving, save the scene of the accident; do not repeatedly create corners or log in again. | See accident handling |
Operation sequence
| order | action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Stop the server and copy the complete archive directory, configuration files, server version and player list. |
| 2 | Only test the login and tools on the dungeon, not the official server. |
| 3 | Confirm whether the player file exists, whether the world file is read, and whether the problem is just a mismatch of identity correspondence. |
| 4 | Only after logging in, reading and writing assets, exiting and re-entering the dungeon can it be considered to be transferred back to the official server. |
Common misunderstandings
| Misunderstanding | why to avoid |
|---|---|
| Test the tool directly on the official server | Tool failure can overwrite or corrupt unique data. |
| Keep playing when you see a new character | New player files may make it harder to save old data. |
| Apply single post success stories | UUID (unique identifier) and archive structure are affected by platform, version and server environment. |
