Yasbb : Making a partial back-up |
|
|
|
|
|
|
We already learned how to start up and use Yasbb for making back-ups : how to save , delete and replace back-up files. |
See AWTimes bots tutorial 2 Yasbb : venice3d.net/2015bots2.html |
But you can also make partial backups of a part of your world . Or you can make a partial backup of your builds in a public world , where bots are allowed to be used. |
|
Before you start making a partial back-up , it is better to make first a full back-up of your world , in order to prevent problems if things go wrong. |
|

|
|
* Making the partial back-up |
|
Then we start with the partial back-up : |
Go to the tabsheet Survey and uncheck "WholeWorld" |
Then determine the center of the area of which you want o make a back-up. In this example , we suppose that the center is at 10N 10W , we enter the values and we also select N and W. |
Then we determine the covered area of which we want to make the backup. In this example , we want 9 cells to each side around the center. We need to enter the values in Dekameter (=10meters), which is equal to the distance of 1 cell. But you need to determine the surface , so you need to add up the distance of both sides, that makes in this example an area of 18 cells by 18 cells. |
Finally click upon the button "Survey" , then you have to give a name to the back-up-file and the back-up starts , and you also determine the location on your computer, where the file needs to be saved. Then the back-up starts to run. |
When finished , you reset the values of coordinates and the covered area back to 0 , and you check again "whole world" . Otherwise you will have problems with your next back-up. |

* Move the partial back-up to another area |
|
In this example we are going to move the partial back-up to the center of the world. |
First we delete the content of the current world ( of which we already made a full back-up before) : go to the tabsheet "build" , and click upon the button "DeleteWorld". |
|
Now we are going to put the partial back-up in the center of the world : We are already in the tabsheet "Build" , and we already know that the center of the back-up that we have made was on position 10N 10W. This means that we have to move the back-up 10 cells to the south and 10 cells to the east. And in the offset values, we enter twice the value 10 , and we select S and E. And we click upon the button "Build" , and we select the file of the partial back-up , and choose : open , and the back-up starts. |
|
If you want to move your back-up to another world , then simply enter another world name (at the right side of the Yasbb program). |
|
Once you have finished, you reset again the Offset Values again to 0 . Otherwise you will have problems with your next back-up. |

* Move the partial back-up higher or lower |
|
In the offset values, we also enter in this case the "Height Offset" . A value of 1 waill raise the builds of your back-up with 10 meters (=1 dekameter) (and not 1 meter). However, if you want to raise the objects of your back-up with only 2 meters, then you need to use the komma for decimals. In this example, this will be : ,2 . |
If you don't want to put the backup at another level, then the value remains on 0. In any case you need to bring all offset values back to 0 , once you have finished you move. |
|
|
|
|
* Rotate the build of your back-up file |
|
In the offset values, then you must check "Rotate Before Build" . Then a new window will appear "Rotate Old Prop Around".. Here you can enter a value of rotation e.g. 90 180 or 270. |
If all the offset values are on 0 , then all objects will move the build to the opposite quadrant of your world. For instance, if you build is located on 10N 10W , and if you choose 180 , then the new location of your build will be on 10S 10E and the objects will be rotated by 180 degrees. |
If you add the values for "Rotate Old Prop Around" : -10S -10E , then the center of the back-up will be put in the center of the world. |
If you add the values for "Rotate Old Prop Around" : -20S -20E , then the center of the back-up will be put on the same place as it was before, this is 10N 10W, but it will be rotated by 180 degrees. |

|
|
* Delete by file |
|
You also have the tabsheet "Delete by file", where you could use the partial backup-file and remove this part from your current build area, but this program does not work, nothing will happen.. |
