help restoring sim's

i am trying to restore a sim but am having trubble i fould this posed by Lycie Newman

1 Drag files .f32 and .xml2 in the directory where New World Studio is installed (be careful, you must rename the file so that there is no space, otherwise the program crashes ).

2 In the console:
    - change region "nameofmyregion"
    - load xml2 yourfile.xml2
    - terrain load yourfile.f32

Wait, the procedure maybe long.

and i have tryed this and all i keep getting is

specified file can not be found. uasage: load xml2 <filename>

i have tryed putting the 2 files in meny places but still no luck can some 1 please tell me wear to put the files please?????????????????????

Hello Max,

since the update, New World Studio is a different version, out of NWG. It's a mega region in standalone with hypergrid (from where you can tp on NWG using hypergrid). Lycie's post concerns the old version of New World Studio and is not available since the update.

If you have saved your region, as indicated in world and on the blog or also by notifications, with an oar file, you can load it now on the new version of New World Studio using the command :
load oar nameoftheregion.oar

If you didn't made the backup in oar before the update, sorry but your region is lost now (this is why we have post everywhere to inform people about this).

Regards,
Calice.

hi i have the NEW NWG      i have 2 differ back up files  1 is the old .DB file and 2 the 2 file's that are called .f32 and .xml2 i also have the mega sim set so it is 4 sims and not 1 mega sim because i have 3 sim's to load i do not have this NEW OAR file is there away i can still load my old sims on to this new nwg ?

The new version of New World Studio only accept oar backups so if you haven't done a "save oar nameoftheregion.oar" before the update of New World Grid at the end of august (a backup you had to do manually in the consol at this moment), there is no option for you to restore them on the actual version.

my server has been down so there was no way for my to make a new back up and all that work that i have done is gone then ?

Unfortunately, yes
Sorry for you.

Now, all the backups you will do will be in oar so that's the good new.

Calice.

if your using xml files I restored a lot of my things that way using imprudence browser by the way.  You can do it this way.  I moved a lot of files around like that from SL to NWG as there is an option in imprudence to use xml files.

:)

I moved several buildings that way because I didnt want to rebuild them it copied the textures and everything and rebuilt the building and gave me a copy of all my textures.  You have to own all the stuff on the item though or it wont copy it.



the upload feature on that menu lets you use xml files and if i remember rightly those xml2 files can be broken down although it is a lot of work if you are wanting to restore items that were hard to make sometimes its worth trying this way :)

hi textures i am not worryed about i was hosting 4 sims at the time my server was up  and i had a friend build a boat that was 1/3 the size of the sim it took the both of us over 6 months to build  not including the rest of his sim the xml file i have is a xml2 file and a f32 file 1 is for prims othere should be for land but i well try that xml2  on that viewer

nope that xml2 file wont work i even chnged the file name to xml and still did not take

ok i got an idea to get my stuff back but i need some help i need to know how to set the OLD NWS ver 0.6.9B in stand alon mode so i can get the sim's running... any 1 know to do this please help
