PLEASE HELP :(

Hello,

 

So I Made a world on Don't Starve Together , and I didn't play with anyone but I liked to have A Multiplayer world if a friend ever wanted to join. Today I tried going offline so thinking that I would be able to pause the game while afk, but for some reason now my world says the server mode is Offline and I can't change it . I also lost my Character Wes , and it just shows a sillhouette with a question mark. Any way that I can get the world and my character back online ? 

 

Thanks

Wes isn't the last on the list, he's on the list before after Woodie and after Webber. And no, you can't change your server from Offline to Online. And just because your world is Offline, doesn't mean it'll pause when you enter map or press Esc; it just means people in a local area network can connect (I think), but either way, it's multiplayer and just because you're playing Offline, doesn't mean you'll get to pause your game. Play the actual single player for that, there's a reason why this game is called Don't Starve TOGETHER.

Okay , but that didn't really answer my question. I want to know how to put it back online , it says it is offline and isn't giving me the option to turn it online , and when I join the world I start as a new character , not the character I was previously using :/

You CAN'T turn it back Online unless you start a new world. And if you select random, it will be a random character. And your world must be Wilderness mode for you to be able to change your character, otherwise you need to start a new server to be able to play as a different character.

You're asking how, but I'm telling you that you can't. If you can't then there is no such thing as how. Do you get it now?

I think he means that he can't go online at all, not that he can't change his server to online.

Read his first post; he is clearly asking how to change his world back to Online.

It sounds like you're experiencing a bug.

 

As far as I know, once you switch from Online play to Offline play (or vice-versa), you cannot switch back. As far as that goes, unfortunately, you'll need to start a new online world. How did you manage to do that, by the way? I just messed around creating a new world, and wasn't able to change from Online to Offline. Did you change to Offline mode in Steam?

 

There is no "pause" option in DST at the moment. To pause the world, if you're the only one playing, just disconnect. If you want to ensure other people won't be impacted by it early on, you can start the server with a password, and make it non-password later when you're ready for others to join. You can switch back-and-forth between password-protected or not as needed.

 

Being forced to re-select a character, and having a character (Wes) locked now, that's unusual. Something definitely went awry when you changed to Offline. Are you using any mods? If so, can you list them so people can take a look and see if they've experienced anything similar while using the same ones?

Thanks everyone

 

Imsomony, whilst I was logging into DST it gave me the option to Play Offline , turning the world permanently to offline mode. I'm not using mods and never have , just plain Vanilla :c Oh well, hopefully if it is a bug it is solved , thanks again

I started playing and there was a "go offline" button that I hit by accident. 

 

has Klei ever heard of USABILITY?

The games is in BETA dude, are you going to expect it to have everything perfect?

 

We are still getting caves properly to work like the original game and you expect a Button the come from nowhere that easily?...At least let them put the original gameplay into Multiplayer then you can ask them for other stuff...like why is there no ability to make servers without having to learn coding like a developer...

that's because Usability is not something you spray on a finished project, but rather a methodology that should be intertwined with design and coding from the ground up. 

 

I wager your problem stems from the same root cause as mine.

That part is true, but when a game is in beta, it means you should expect bugs and various changes before the full release.

But you can see that it is still getting developed, There are two things taking place right now, first is Ship Wrecked which will get released anytime now and second is DST which is finally very near to having everything of DS in it, and of course new things are gonna come later on after that, be Patient, take a look at other game companies, they don't give a hoot about what the public thinks and only do what they want and Klei is giving the direction of development in our hands.
