Loading world
Recently rented a ME server at Gameservers. Everything went fine for about 2 hours until the server crashed. Oh well stuff happens. But when we came back in to the server all the things we build were gone. So we decided to check the FTP and download the last save from the FTP. Which was a save about 20 minutes before the game crashed and started it in a Singleplayer game. Lucky us because a lot still remained.

But we don't have a clue on how to let the server load the map (the 20 minutes before the server crashed map) in to the server again.. We have the feeling everytime the server restarts it just starts up a new save file.

Also we called our world: "world". And there are 4 different savefiles in the FTP called World and 3 of them have numbers behind it. Like: World2454646, World643535 and world0838393 or something like that. And each have different creation times.

Please help because it is very confusing.

Hi, I don't use rented server, I use my computer with ME Dedic, but I think you should have a look at the website where you rent the server > usually they have a 24/7 support and tutos on how to use.

Thanks for the reply! I managed to make it work, i rented a SE server in the past and had the same trouble but managed to fix it back then. So I just went through the server settings ftp and managed to see what was wrong :)

It was constantly creating a new world because i had: <worldname>World</worldname> filled in like that. But that triggers the server/game to create a map each time. So i chaged it to: <worldname/> and that disables creating a new world.

Great, well done :approve:
Hi, I have a dedicated server from a host, I have the same problem, when the server restarts it creates a new world each time. I have changed the config file from <WorldName>My Server Name </WorldName> to <WorldName/> and I still get a newly created world.
I have LoadWorld to this <LoadWorld /> which I am thinking is the problem?

I can't help much on that > I use my computer and create all my world local and copy/paste to the Dedic save folder .. and open this save on my dedic.
I have fixed it, basically from what I can tell from what I can see is <worldname/> will create "My World" a generic name..
In the MedievalEngineers-Dedicated.cfg you need to find the <LoadWorld> and put it where you saved world is located in this format

<LoadWorld>C:\TCAFiles\Users\username\hostnumber\Saves\world name</LoadWorld>

Tested and works..
here is a small setup guide for servers, maybe you can find something useful in it :)
