# How to Reset Your Soulmask Server

Learn how to reset your Soulmask server to start the journey over again fresh!

Are you ready to give your Soulmask server a fresh start? Whether you're looking to clear out old files, create a new world, or fix some lingering issues, resetting your game server can be the perfect solution. This guide will walk you through the entire process using the Nodecraft Pro Panel. We’ll cover everything from creating backups and resetting your server settings to completely resetting your entire Soulmask dedicated server, ensuring you’re prepared for your next great Soulmask adventure!

**Note:** We recommend always stopping your Soulmask server before making any edits or configuration changes.

## Create a Backup (Optional)

Though optional, creating a backup of your server is highly recommended. It may be something you’ll give yourself a pat on the back for doing if you end up regretting deleting your server world, a config file you wanted to keep, or the game server entirely.

1. Log into your Nodecraft Pro Panel for your Soulmask server.
2. Navigate to the **Backups** tab on the left-hand menu.
3. Click **Create Backup** and wait for the process to finish before proceeding. Backup time depends on your dedicated server size, so take a moment to relax while it completes!

## Resetting Your Soulmask Server

### Delete the World and Game Files

1. Open the Nodecraft Pro Panel for your Soulmask game server.
2. Navigate to the **Server Files** tab. This allows you to view and manage all of your Soulmask game server's files.
3. Navigate to this server directory:  `/WS/Saved/Worlds/Dedicated/Level01_Main`
4. Delete the `world.db` file. **This will remove all of your current save game progress and player data.**

  **Note:** If you have **initbackup** or **-backupinterval** set in your server’s startup arguments, you may see additional **.db files**. You can download or delete those as well.

### Delete Server Configuration (Optional)

1. Navigate to the following directory: `/WS/Saved/GameplaySettings`
2. Delete the `GameXishu.json` file. A default config file will regenerate automatically when the server restarts.

### Reinstall the Game (Full Reset)

For a complete game server reset, you can reinstall your Soulmask server from the One-Click Installer.

1. Click on **One-Click Installer** on the left side of the Nodecraft Pro Panel.
2. Select **Soulmask** from the list.
3. **Choose Fresh Install**.
4. Click **Install**.

**Note**: This will delete all files and configurations. If you want to preserve any config files (such as mods or custom scripts), be sure to back them up or download them from your server before proceeding.

## Start the Server

Once the desired files are deleted or you've completed a full reset, click **Start** to relaunch the server.

And just like that, you’ve successfully reset your **Soulmask** dedicated server! Whether you’re gearing up for a new journey or troubleshooting issues, you’re now fully prepared to dive into your new world. Gather your friends, restart your adventures, and explore new frontiers. So, what are you waiting for? Fire up your server and get ready!
