Rust server won't start properly after seed change and map wipe

Hi all!

I saw some great support threads on the old forum and thought I would try here as it seems similar.

My server was working fine but I wanted to change the map seed and size so I did the following (this is a hosted server):

  • Stopped Server
  • Updated config file with seed: 1473491870 and world size: 3500
  • Deleted player.* files from server/my_server_identity folder
  • Deleted *.map and *.sav files from server/my_server_identity folder
  • Started Server
update: creating a server.cfg file with the line "server.level "Procedural Map"" in my cfg folder

When I want to change my map i just open  "Commandline manager" and change the map seed (and save) when i restart the server (without doing anything else) it will tell me in web console that it could not load previous map save file but will just continue loading files and map, When the server is up the map has no player bases etc,
as it is a hosted server i start the server from the "dashboard" and watch load progress by using the webconsole *tried to copy page below but it left out the details and just put the section names.

Save Interval
World Seed:
Server Description:
World Type:
Server Secure: 
Enable Silent Crash:
Update Batch:Spin UpSpin Down
Server URL
Web RCON: 
World name (don't select this for procedural worlds):
World Size:

I am having a similar issue as well. I use an RCON to restart the server and handle a few other things, and it usually works flawlessly, but this morning for some reason nobody can connect to the server. It is showing up as "Bootstrap" under the map name instead of Procedural Map, and nobody can connect to it.. the main error I get upon connecting is this: Couldn't Load AssetBundle - Bundles\maps/maps.bundle. I've checked all of the parameters of the config file, re-updated the server without oxide and even that didn't work. I have no clue whats going on and this is the only mention of the topic in ages that I can find

Merged post
**UPDATE**

Im posting this just to emphasize that adding this line:

server.level "Procedural Map"

to my server.cfg resolved the problem for me. I've never had that line in the .cfg before but I believe my host provider may have changed / modified their batch file generator because otherwise I don't see why it would be necessary when nothing else has updated. 

 

Thanks for the suggestions here guys
