How to Make a Random Gen World On a Dedicated Server

[The Clairvoyant]

Howdy Folks,
I am trying to make a dedicated server for myself and my friend however I have a small issue. Even though I have searched far and wide and tried many different "fixes" I cannot for the life of me find out how to make the map randomly generated. I have tried setting changing the config settings of the config file but I just cannot get it to work. Whenever I load the server it always load it as Navezgane and none of my changed values ever actually change. For example I changed the horde nights to ever 10 days instead of 7 but they happen every 7 anyways. I apologize if this has been talked about before but everything I have found so far has not been helpful. If anyone would be willing to help me I would much appreciate it, Thanks!

The key is the serverconfig.xml file located in the root of the server's game folder. Most importantly, you must change the below lines:

<!-- World -->
<property name="GameWorld" value="Navezgane"/>

Change to:

<property name="GameWorld" value="RWG"/>

And:
<property name="WorldGenSeed" value="asdf"/>

Change to:

<property name="WorldGenSeed" value="whateveryouwantnametobe"/>

And:

<property name="GameName" value="My Game"/>

Change to:

<property name="GameName" value="savegamenameyouwant"/>

Those should be the important ones to get your random world working. There are other settings in there you will want to change as well (admin settings and password for example).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately this did not work for me, no matter how many times I change "Navezgane" to "RWG" it still loads the world as Navezgane. I honestly do not know why.
