World Corrupted?

[Zel0t]

Hi guys. Im no java expert but hopefully you guys will be able to help me recover my world. Its definatly thew world as deleting it causes the server to run once more.

The error thats getting spit out is.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at obfuscated.NL.fromTagStructure(SourceFile:546)
at obfuscated.NL.<init>(SourceFile:81)
at obfuscated.ahc.<init>(SourceFile:638)
at obfuscated.Jp.run(SourceFile:1074)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Im hoping that deleting some offensive files will cause the thing to turn over once more.

thanks guys.

After some brute force shotgun debugging.........
I have Successfully Recovered my world.

I needed to delete

chatchannels.tag
FLOATING_ITEMS_ARCHIVE.ent
FLOATING_ITEMS_ARCHIVE.ent.old
SIMULATION_STATE.sim
uniquePlayerCount
version


Afterwards i needed to re create factions but not a big deal.

Same Problem.
Fixed it by deleting those files.

Big Thank You Senpai!

You sir are fantastic. My server is now functioning again. I was also able to get it working by removing any blueprints that had been saved with a faction block assigned to a faction. This however allows me to keep my blueprints.

THANKS!!!

Our server experienced unexpected shutdown and the console said exactly this same error. We tried deleting files you mention here, server started but then ingame we noticed that many planets are missing (but are present in data files and are shown on galaxy map) and that galaxy map has missing stars (ingame double star systems had only 1 star visible but second one had still death zone). Anything else we could try?
I should propably mention that the universe was just about 2 days old, we wiped after nearly 10 months of continuous run.

The file needed to be deleted is usually the "chatchannels.tag".

You can find your worldname here:


Menu:


In this case the "world-folder" name is "neweden"full path is shown there too.
The one with the "true" is the active one, that gets loaded or at least attempted to load.

Thanks, but where are the files for that specific world, other than just accessing them
