Dedicated server not acknowledging worldgenoverride.lua

[JesterXIII]

Hey guys,

 

Just trying to setup a custom dedicated server with a few tweaks to world gen.  I'm not using a custom config directory, so it is default to \klei\DoNotStarveTogether\worldgenoverride.lua.  The contents:

 

return {        override_enabled = true,        unprepared = { -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                berrybush = "default",                cactus = "default",                carrot = "default",                mushroom = "default",        },        misc = {                autumn = "verylongseason", -- "noseason", "veryshortseason", "shortseason", "default", "longseason", "verylongseason", "random"                boons = "default", -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                branching = "most", -- "never", "least", "default", "most"                day = "longday", -- "default", "longday", "longdusk", "longnight", "noday", "nodusk", "nonight", "onlyday", "onlydusk", "onlynight"                frograin = "default", -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                lightning = "default", -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                loop = "always", -- "never", "default", "always"                season_start = "default", -- "default", "winter", "spring", "summer", "random"                spring = "verylongseason", -- "noseason", "veryshortseason", "shortseason", "default", "longseason", "verylongseason", "random"                summer = "verylongseason", -- "noseason", "veryshortseason", "shortseason", "default", "longseason", "verylongseason", "random"                touchstone = "always", -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                weather = "default", -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                wildfires = "default", -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                winter = "verylongseason", -- "noseason", "veryshortseason", "shortseason", "default", "longseason", "verylongseason", "random"                world_size = "huge", -- "default", "medium", "large", "huge"        },        animals = { -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                alternatehunt = "default",                angrybees = "default",                beefalo = "default",                beefaloheat = "default",                bees = "default",                birds = "default",                butterfly = "default",                buzzard = "default",                catcoon = "default",                frogs = "default",                hunt = "default",                lightninggoat = "default",                moles = "default",                penguins = "default",                perd = "default",                pigs = "default",                rabbits = "default",                tallbirds = "default",        },        monsters = { -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                bearger = "default",                chess = "default",                deciduousmonster = "default",                deerclops = "default",                dragonfly = "default",                goosemoose = "default",                houndmound = "default",                hounds = "default",                krampus = "default",                liefs = "default",                lureplants = "default",                merm = "default",                spiders = "default",                tentacles = "default",                walrus = "default",        },        resources = { -- "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"                flint = "default",                flowers = "default",                grass = "default",                marshbush = "default",                meteorshowers = "default",                meteorspawner = "default",                reeds = "default",                rock = "default",                rock_ice = "default",                sapling = "default",                trees = "default",                tumbleweed = "default",        },} 

 

The resulting log:

I'm not seeing the changes take affect in game, and I'm also not seeing anything in the log that shows the server reading the worldgenoverride.lua.  Is there a config option or something I missed to enable world override?

 

Thanks!

you need a custom folder because client must be separated from server, try to create a folder in eg: klei/myserver.

 

I think that the last comma is not necessary

Oh?  I'm not running my client and my server on the same PC though.  Should I still set up a custom folder regardless?

[Screamer21]

can you take a look in the browser?? and then click view world??

 

Do you have a rented server??

I can see it in my LAN servers, yes, but the view world option is greyed out and nothing happens when I click it.  I can join the world and play on it just fine, however.

 

Nah it's just another pc in my house running dedicated servers, such as this.

Just thought I'd update everyone, I did end up solving this.  You must specify a custom settings.ini for worldgenoverride to take effect, even if you're not running a client on that machine.  That's what solved it for me, at least.

 

Or, as I discovered with some testing, you may need to delete the entire "save" folder

Thanks, this suggestion did end up working for me!
