Starting a new server using an existing map.
We are trying to start a new dedicated server using an existing map we have played on. We followed all the rules on the green 'eco wiki' page, which was useful. We have placed all the proper files in their proper locations, according to the eco wiki. The problem is trying to get the server.exe file to not generate a new world and use our existing world in place of it. We are guessing that we are missing something small, but just cannot seem to get it to work for us. Does anyone have any fixes or advise for us. Thanks in advance!

This worked, thank you so much. We tried for hours and never thought of this.

Make sure when you transfer to your server you include in Storage the DefaultWorld.eco and the Game.eco. Make sure all the configs are identical accept well the Networks.eco.
I had the same issue on my Multiplay hosted server. The host said i needed the DefaultWorld.eco but myself i said the game.eco is the only one i need. But hey what do i know right.

Yeah, good advice for sure. We had all the proper files copied over, but everytime we went to start the server it would generate a new world. Once we renamed our file to 'game.eco' the server loaded up and everything seems to be working, so far. Help appreciated, thank you.
