[GUIDE] Issues after upgrading to Njord Menu from menu.sh and advancemenu.sh

[Nimdy]

Some folks are reporting issues after upgrading to the new menu. This is more than likely because of the way Valheim was installed in the past.

After completing over 100 upgrade tests, I had zero issues.

So if you are having issues after the upgrade, do not worry, you did not lose anything.

After the upgrade, we have the script create a backup of your file system and world files (YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.db and YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.fwl)

The .db and .fwl files are the only two files you should ever care about because recovering or reinstalling on another server only requires these two files.

If your system did not update correctly, please do the following.

1. Launch the Njord Menu and press option 3 -Install Valheim Server or Add another Valheim Instance

2. Complete the Valheim install process as normal.

3. Set your Public Name

4. Set your World Name (Name this your old world name) --- You can find your old World Name by typing ls -lisa /home/steam/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds/

5. Set your Port information

6. Set your Public Listing

7. Set your Valheim Server Password for Access

8. Let it finishing installing

9. Stop your Valheim Service by typing systemctl stop valheimserver_YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.service

10. Copy over your .db and .fwl into the newly created directory cp /home/steam/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds/YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.db /home/steam/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/YOURWORLDNAMEHERE/worlds/YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.db cp /home/steam/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds/YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.fwl /home/steam/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/YOURWORLDNAMEHERE/worlds/YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.fwl

11. Make sure steam has the correct permissions chown -Rf steam:steam /home/steam/

12. Start your Valheim Server systemctl start valheimserver_YOURWORLDNAMEHERE.service

Everything should come up just fine after this.

Basically, what happen was during the upgrade the folder structure did not match the original installation configurations that were suppose to be setup. Maybe this is because of the hosting provider or maybe something else.

This upgrade works 100% if Njord Menu users are in baseline.
