Upload a Custom Wurm Unlimited Map
A Wurm map is part of a game database, not just a decorative image. Move the complete world folder and make the launcher select it, or the server may start a different map with a familiar name.
Migration sequence
- Stop the source server cleanly and make a backup.
- Record the database/world folder name and its server settings.
- Upload the complete database folder over FTP or the file manager.
- Place it where the launcher discovers game databases.
- Select that database, start privately and verify terrain, deeds and player data.
Verify before announcing
| Check | Expected |
|---|---|
| Terrain | The intended map and landmarks appear. |
| Database | Existing player, deed and item data is present. |
| Server identity | Name, port, PvP and rates match the source. |
Keep the source world untouched until the destination has passed a real player test. A server that merely opens the login screen may still be using a blank database.
For long-lived worlds, see the backup guide and Wurm Unlimited hosting with FTP access.
