Need help with things spawning out of map

[Sneer]

I have a game server and I installed epoch using altis, all is working fine, I decide to switch to tanoa and everything seems fine however I have vehicles and traders out of the map in the water.

Is this just a matter of the redis DB needing to be recreated? or is there anything I can do to reset where things are?

Yes, you cannot use the DB from one map on another.

Hello Sneer,

You just need to change the instance ID so that that it is not the same as you had on Altis. If each server has its own instance ID you can actually run two or more servers on the same database sharing character data.

Did not know that. Can you provide more info on the sharing of character data but not map-specific location data? That would be great for me, I would share character data between my two servers, cannot see atm how to separate the data without custom code changes

Epoch was made from the start to do exactly this.  Just simply use a different InstanceID for each server while using the same Redis connection information.

If the player joins another instance they will simply spawn in the Clone Room and can choose where to go from there.
