Month worth of progress loss when manually porting world data from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4.
Lost approximately a month's worth of progression in every single world after manually transferring all world files from a 1.4.3 version of tmodloader to 1.4.4. Character data and map data had no problems and were saved up to date.🆘

If your world or player is failing to load, you can use the backups to roll back to an earlier working file. See https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-Guide#world-and-player-backups for more information.

Nothing to do with my issue.
you need to elaborate a bit then, when exactly did you "lose your progression", are you using cloud, are you using onedrive, what files did you manually transfer exactly? Any screenshots?
noble-goldOP•3y ago
these files
noble-goldOP•3y ago
just to clarify they were ported from an open source client that used tmodporter, not the steam one
but i dont think that should've caused any issues and switching back to 1.4.3 legacy on steam should revert these problems but thats why im asking
tmodporter?
noble-goldOP•3y ago
you dont know what tmodporter is?

A tool to port tML mods from 1.3 to 1.4, you must have tML 1.4 installed - GitHub - Chik3r/tModPorter: A tool to port tML mods from 1.3 to 1.4, you must have tML 1.4 installed
I do, but what does it have to do with your worlds
noble-goldOP•3y ago
you told me to elaborate
probably has nothing to do with it but better to be safe than sorry
it shouldn't have anything to do with it
noble-goldOP•3y ago
ok
how did you make sure you were copying the right files?
noble-goldOP•3y ago
right files?
they were the only ones i had
the data wasnt stored anywhere else i triple checked
i had a GOG folder with terraria and tmod but i checked and they contained absolutely nothing related to world data
and all my player stuff was up to date so im pretty sure i copied the right things
and that loss of progression happened the moment you pasted the files and then launched steam tml?
noble-goldOP•3y ago
yup
where did you paste them to
screenshot the folder with the path visible
noble-goldOP•3y ago
could be a version parity problem i have no idea
worlds folder
screenshot
noble-goldOP•3y ago
yea thats the right folder
and all your worlds, when copying, had exactly 4 files each? (sometimes 5 with bak2)?
noble-goldOP•3y ago
yes i took all files, copied them to a separate folder, uninstalled open source tmod, installed steam tmod, and pasted all files from my backups back into the steam version folders
noble-goldOP•3y ago
currently porting everything back to 1.4.3 to see if it resolves it
no unfortunately
does the date the world file was modified matter
because i'd expect it would be modified whenever i save and quit a world but it's a month behind
unless that's not how it works
idk, what you did is all correct
do you have the logs from the first time you launched tml steam?

Post your context-dependent
.log file(s) from the following 1.4 Alpha directory:
For startup issues - Install Directory/tModLoader-Logs/Launch.log
For client issues - Install Directory/tModLoader-Logs/client.log
For server issues - Install Directory/tModLoader-Logs/server.log
(To get to your install directory on Steam - right click tModLoader in the library, then hover over Manage and click on Browse local files.)noble-goldOP•3y ago
where do i find that
it should be backed up in one of the zip files in that folder, Old folder
noble-goldOP•3y ago
noble-goldOP•3y ago
zip file contents from the old folder
thats just an old install
go to
Install Directory/tModLoader-Logs as described here, and inside there's an Old folder
get the zip file that corresponds to the time you opened tml steam for the first timenoble-goldOP•3y ago
noble-goldOP•3y ago
why do i have like 20 files on the 18th
its already sorted by oldest, so post the topmost one (2023-08-18-4)
noble-goldOP•3y ago
post the zip file here
noble-goldOP•3y ago
noble-goldOP•3y ago
there
nothing weird there
dunno, do you still have the original files?
noble-goldOP•3y ago
which original files
i have everything
other than the old tmodloader client but its still in my trash bin
then just copy your original world files to the worlds folder
and problem solved
noble-goldOP•3y ago
but these are the originals?
i... dont have any other world files?
that can only mean that the original files are already outdated
noble-goldOP•3y ago
so where did all the things i do in the last month go
this doesnt make a lot of sense to me
is there any way to load earlier saves
neither does it to me based on the info you are telling me
noble-goldOP•3y ago
i told you everything
im still confused on how worlds save data if it doesnt overwrite every time you save and exit
or is that a bug, or what?
so
there's no solution im assuming
nope
your worlds are already outdated
noble-goldOP•3y ago
fucking hell
