Home server, mostly water!

[sinver]

So, my missus wants to play Tekkit, but only on our own small server with real life friends.

This is easily done, thanks to some great tutorials on YouTube I managed to get one setup, version 3.0.4, and thanks to a lot of RAM I can even play on the same PC.

So, after a bit of a misunderstanding with the IP, I finally got her laptop to connect, and all is well.

My issue, is most my world is under water! Theres a few islands and that's it. Is there a way to "respawn" the world to have more land? Even if it is just to reset server and randomnly roll the reset dice? The server works fine, just I am not a great swimmer :)

Edit the 'level-name' field in the 'server.properties' file located in the server master file. You can also edit the 'level-seed' field if you want to use a seed.

Aaah! The seed. I didn't see that! Thank you so much.

Now to search the interwebs for a good seed!

The simplest thing to do is to delete the 'world' folder in your Tekkit server directory and start your server (it will create a new world with a random seed).

If I have already started, what do I need to delete to restart the world? I knhow it will lose whatever I did but that's fine as I have barely done anything.

Oh How I just laughed. I scare myself with how dumb I can be.

Please forgive me ed, I followed your instructions too literally hence why it didn't initially work. You see I did delete the "world" folder, forgetting I had renamed my game so had a named folder too that should be deleted.

Deleting THIS folder sorted it! Thanks for the help again, and apologies for being a bit dumb.

No worries, enjoy the game!

I will try, though my experience of new games with the missus usually means me getting stroppy at first lol. Oh, and does it make me a bad person to not tell her I can spawn stuff? I want to do it properly!

I do the same (spawn items) with the kid I play with.... but if you don't tell her, I won't tell your wife .
