I figured it out. The issue wasn't with the worldgenerator.eco file. The issue was the users.v0.eco file that's generated during a server update causes it to crash. To modify a world with the current version, I had to delete the files in the /storage (game.eco, game.db, game-log.db), the backups, and the users.v0.eco. Then do a server update/restart with the worldgenerator.eco file I modified in the /config folder.
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why I cannot change the size of the world.
I have opened the WorldGenerator.eco file and this is the area I "assume" I need to update to alter the size:
{
"$id": "1",
"ConfigVersion": 1,
"MapSizePreset": "Small",
"Dimensions": {
"$id": "2",
"WorldWidth": 72,
"WorldLength": 72
},
I have tried every way I can think of according to the links, discussion boards, and the wikis to alter this.
The ideal map size I am looking for is 140x140.
I have changed it to:
{
"$id": "1",
"ConfigVersion": 1,
"MapSizePreset": "Small",
"Dimensions": {
"$id": "2",
"WorldWidth": 140,
"WorldLength": 140
},
and multiple other variations.
After each iteration, I make sure to click the clear the saves box as well update/restart the server. What am I doing wrong?!
