Yes, the first statement was answering someone else =)

It's possible I had a runaway java.exe with no windows. Not sure. The strange thing was when I edited my server.properies file and renamed the world I never saw a "WorldRiseUp" created anywhere.

In any case we just started over and are going with it. It's almost like it isn't using anything (including permissions) for the server. It's very confusing.

We really enjoy the game by the way. We were long time Minecraft and Wurm players and this is somewhat of a marriage between the 2.

Off the top of my head it would be neat if you could change the texture of a block on the inside of the home but not have the house walls be 2 blocks thick. IE wall paper inside but outside brick. Maybe with a roller or paint brush. I think of lots of things but I do remember a game I loved and then they added sooooo many block options that it became overwhelming almost to create anything (Space Engineers).

So, I guess there is a fine line between simple and length of creativity!

Right now, we are having fun with it and I see a lot of possibilities. Keep the updates coming!

Thanks

First of all there is a huge difference. For one, my wife has to keep me online (and inevitably kills me 20 times) while she plays when I am at work. So, while you think this is the same, I want her to be able to play without me dying constantly. Secondly, this isn't my first dedicated server. I have ran multiple Minecraft, Wurm, Life is Fuedal,and others. So, I understand that it should be as simple as dropping the Worlds directory in the dedicated server, but it isn't. I tried that.

First: Yes, this is the SteamApp version.
Game: N:/Games/Steam/SteamApps/common/RisingWorld is the game app
Server: N:/Games/Rising World Server/

The only directories in the Rising World Server (that I downloaded 2 days ago) is lib and permissions.example. Then 4 files (linux, mac, win startup) server.jar and server.properties. The server.properties shows server_world_name=New World

I dropped "Worlds" into the dedicated server directory and it ignored it completely. When I monitor my computer the files that are changing while running the server is only located in N:/Games/Steam/SteamApps/common/RisingWorld/cache/ In this directory is a "New World651237569" directory with 6 .bpc/wpc files in it.

Now, in the normal Rising worlds directory under "Worlds" there is a "WorldParts" that has the same files, but that would mean I would be missing the "New World.db". I also attempted another test. I edited the server.properties and set server_world_name=WorldRiseUp and when I loaded dedicated server nothing changed. It continued calling it "New World".

We decided just to start over (only had 4ish days of work) but I am definitely doing something wrong, just not sure what it is.

Initially it was a local game opened to lan. I don't see a "Saves" or "Save" directory. I only see a "Worlds" directory that has the local game info in it. I personally don't want a "bigger' server. Just something my wife and I can play on. This machine should be able to handle that no problem. The world name is the same as my local lan name, but the only files that update when I run a dedicated server is the "New World651237569" directory under RisingWorld/cache/

My wife and I have been playing on a server running from my machine for several days.

Yesterday I installed the dedicated server files and got it up and running fairly quickly. The issue I had was I wanted to take our current server (players and world) and put them on the dedicated server. I searched for about 4 hours on google and this forum for an answer and I couldn't find anything. In searching my machine it appeared that the world the dedicated server uses is in the cache directory of where I installed Rising World. I attempted to copy my current server to the directory that it used and that didn't appear to work.

What can I do? This seemed trivial in any other dedicated server model, but in this game it is a bit more difficult it seems. I am hoping it is just a server.properties change.

Currently I am running this on Windows, but I can change to Linux if that would make any difference.

Thanks in advance.
