So when I try to update my server's forge version to any other version my world regenerates itself. The players themselves keep their current inventory but the world is new again. Every block ever placed was undone and every block ever dug was replaced.

In a nutshell how do I update my forge version on my server while keeping my world intact?

There should be nothing that causes your world to re-gen.

You probable have an issue with some other mod, logs would be useful.

Here are some logs

Interesting, those logs tell me nothing except the server started up exactly how it was supposed to.

I see that those arnt the logs from when the world regenerated, judging based on the fact that you install 301 and posted before 301 existed.

So I can't really say.

Aside from that, you have mystcraft installed which, v0.9.2.01 is still a jar mod and conflicts with Forge after like.. 251 I think?

So you'd have to be careful with that.

Its no longer a jars mod so go look into that.

 

So now I can put Mystcraft in the mods folder?

Thanks

Also here is what is happening

1) I said you need to look into mystcraft, the one you have installed in a jar mod still and still requires a backdated version of forge, hell the version of forge it needs is in the file name!

2) There were a few exceptions thrown that I saw int he console, we kinda need those.

Which is why we ask for logs.

Oh, that's what you meant. Anyways I changed the forge version (got a clean minecraft_server.jar and installed build 247 as instructed by mystcraft) I used the exact same config files, mods, and core mods, and it came up with a bunch of new errors.

Here are all the logs I could gather.

I am sorry I am probably wasting your time, but I don't understand these errors.

Thanks

Somethings fucked up in your BC configs, fix them

Its fairly easy to read the errors.. looked for 'caused by' and then look for logical things

 

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: unknown character "

at net.minecraftforge.common.Configuration.load(Configuration.java:264)

at buildcraft.BuildCraftCore.loadConfiguration(BuildCraftCore.java:156)

Something in the BuildCraftCore config is screwed up. {Cuz, you know, logic and reading}

 

 

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

at buildcraft.transport.pipes.PipePowerWood.<init>(PipePowerWood.java:32)

Something is wrong with BuildCraft pipes, the wood power pipe, possible related to the above.

 

Looks to me like you have a different place you should be asking about...

Read, your, logs...

Alright thanks, I was only replying here because changing forge versions was causing the regen.

Okay, all errors fixed, using the corresponding version of forge for mystcraft, server works, but it still regens.

Those are logs, before and after world folders, and config files.

-.-

How many times can you screw up installing forge and mystcraft?

Follow the damn instructions this is getting annoying.

 

Aside from that your 'before' world has no region data, meaning, it has no world. Which is why it generates a new one...
