[0.17.x] Headless server. Editing --map-gen-setting yields error, and does not apply new settings.
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2019 6:55 am
[im new to this...]
Problem - I am trying to generate a map with peaceful mode activated by editing the map-gen-settings.json file, but the map is not generated with the changes active.
I am running a headless server on a t2.micro AWS instance.
I downloaded the server from the headless experimental release here https://www.factorio.com/get-download/l ... ss/linux64
It's been extracted, and I am using winscp to edit some of the settings.json files.
I am trying to create a save and apply some --map-gen-settings in the map-gen-settings.json file. Specifically, I am trying to create a map with peaceful mode ON.
Here is the contents of my map-gen-settings.json file (named "map-gen-settings.seventeen.json" for reference.)
When I run the following command:
Notice the final line in the snippet above: 0.000 Error Util.cpp:83: filesystem error: file_size(p): unknown error: No such file or directory [map-gen-settings.seventeen.json]
The file does exist on the server here:
Just some additional info - I can run the following command and the server starts up just fine with all the settings in the server-settings.seventeen.json file active:
Thanks!
