Worldgenoverride not working for dedicated server.

[Rythir]

Hello,

 

I am trying to start up a dedicated server. I have looked at a few guides and watched Jazzy's videos on how to set up a world, edit the settings, and install mods.

I have done all of this and yet the worldgenoverride.lua is not applying (World starts with all default settings) as well as being unmodded.

 

Is there anyone able to give me some help/advice on what else I might need to do.

You'll have to delete the existing world to generate a new world with the new settings from the worldgenoverride.lua, as the settings only apply on world generation, not world loading.

Thanks for the reply, 

 

I have tried that multiple times. The world continues to generate with default settings. The server also doesn't list any mods even though they have been downloaded and are enabled. Is there a specific file I have to delete from the directory that I am missing when I regen the world?

 

 

 

 

worldgenoverride.lua

Is your worldgemoverride in the master folder or the same level as the master folder?

your file is old, now it is like this:
the principle is a little bit different and there are more parameters.
It is normal for the options to be simplified to only the modified ones once it is ready.

I just dropped your worldgenoverride.lua onto a local dedi server and it loaded the settings perfectly. So that file is fine, it's just not being read.

Here's some steps I would attempt for troubleshooting:

1. Confirm this worldgenoverride.lua is in the Master folder
2. Delete /save folders in both Master and Caves
3. If you have any leveldataoverride.lua files in either folder, delete those.
4. Start up your server.

If the file is still not being read then I'd recommend posting a log.
