Can't Start a server because "Cannot start new world - Premade world not found"

[JimTheNinja]

Trying to set up a server for my Steam Group but it fails to start.

Al I get is "Cannot start new world - Premade world not found"

you have toi edit your config in "%user%/appdata/roaming/spaceengineersdedicated' (more or less the right path) look for a line near the bottom that say load world. you wnat to remove the line that says "null". you want it to look something like this

   
     </dictionary>
    </BlockTypeLimits>
    <EnableScripterRole>false</EnableScripterRole>
  </SessionSettings>
  <LoadWorld />
  <IP>0.0.0.0</IP>
  <SteamPort>8766</SteamPort>
  <ServerPort>27016</ServerPort>

then make sure to luanch the server with the "-console" switch. make a shortcut, open its properties and add -console to the end of the target line.

need more info on the "-console" switch. what file am I renameing making a shortcut? the DedicatedServer.exe? tried that and it said file path non existant

[JimTheNinja]

Ok Deleating the "Null" line is right but what is next is to copy all folders from [C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\CustomWorlds] Directly into the [DedicatedServer64] Folder

(Stable 01.172)
I removed the "<LoadWorld />" line in the dedicated config file
and
copied all the folders inside the CustomWorlds folder into the DedicatedServer64 folder.

But the Scenario drop down menu is still empty and I get the message:
"Cannot start new world - Premade world not found"
when I try to strart the server

EDIT:
Switched to latest dev build 01.174
and I can now choose from Easy Alien, Mars and Moon.
Where are the others? (EDIT: Turned out I needed to verify the game since I had probably moved the CustomWorlds folder instead of copying it)
I deleted all the Scenario folders from CustomWorlds which I had copied to the DedicatedServer64 folder, since they didn't seem to help. And I can still see the three easy scenarios in the drop down menu.

EDIT2:
This was all on my main PC but when I copied the dedicated zip to my server the scenario drop down menu is empty again

EDIT3:
Got it working!
The CustomWorlds folder needs to be in the content folder and not in the DedicatedServer64 folder as JimTheNinja suggests. The same location as where it is when you install SE through steam.

So if the DedicatedServer.zip is extracted to for example:

C:\SE Dediserver\

then the CustomWorlds folder needs to be located here:
C:\SE Dediserver\Content\CustomWorlds

DedicatedServer64 folder is located here:
C:\SE Dediserver\DedicatedServer64


Seems like there's only three scenarios in the latest dev 01.174. That's why I only got them when I tried on my main PC


EDIT4:
Aaand the scenario menu is empty again. Tried to delete SE folder in appdata\roaming but didn't help.

This is really starting to get on my nerves.


EDIT5:
Even after deleting the SE folder in appdata\roaming and deleting all the server files and extracted the server zip again and copied to cutomworlds folder, I couldn't get the scenarios to appear in the drop down menu.

Loaded a config I made on my main PC and edited the <PremadeCheckpointPath> in the config file and after that I could choose them again.

What I don't understand is why I couldn't see them if I did a clean "installation" of the dediserver.

[JimTheNinja]

I had to make a rule in windows Firewall for the port. Inbound and Outbound

[Xorloth]

Yeah but the firewall has nothing to do with why the dedicated server doesn't show the scenarios in the server manager's drop down menu.

[JimTheNinja]

That was to make it work at all, Just loading the saved game to the right place and deleating the null will make it work
