installed world builder, and have some issues now

Post by sagaro »

ok, so TU was up and going just fine, now this same issue has happened a few years back, but i forget the remedy..

this will be good to document.

after i install the world builder, my main tu icon doesnt seem to work the same.
when it says initializing, it just cant seem to connect to the galaxy, it lasts so long on initializing, i "ABORT", go "dont connect" and log into planets the server way. This only happens after i install the world builder.

ok so number 2.
i had some work on planets done, and i load them up,IE import the file... but, in one case where i was looking for a specific planet file, i loaded it up, and as usual i like to switch the player, so i delete the tractor file, and relog in as a new "nick" ( i did thisbecause i just realized i could change my nick in f1 mode using the menus at the top) i didnt know that method to change nicks was available, so that is simply a method i use to log into my own worlds.
now, between loading an old planet and switching nicks, i cant get into my planet as the "owner".. this is the message


Your password did not match that recorded on the server.
Either you entered the wrong password or the nickname you chose has already been used by someone else on this world.

now all well and good, but even when i switch back to the actual "creater name" account that i usually go by, i cant get in and it says that message too..
can you a) figure out in english terms why i cant log on in a normal initializing way
b) get me back into my planet as a god...

do you have a serverconfig.txt in your universal folder? if so, you can put your name there as the owner. and then it should recognize you.

the galaxy is down right now, that could be much of your problem.
