UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/Region" is denied.

Hi all!

 

I've updated to A17 latest_experimental, modified my serverconfig.xml and started the server. It created a directory for the new Save and some files, but then the server stops with:

* I'm using the parameter <property name="SaveGameFolder" value="/home/7days/Saves/"/>

* Disabling this parameter to use default save location also does not work

* Configuration for save paths worked this way in A16

* The Saves directory was also set to 777 to make sure it is not really an access issue. Did not change anything, old access restored

* As mentioned, the server does create the Map Save directory and some files in it successfully:

a@b:~/Saves/Random Gen/A17_World1$ ls

blockmappings.nim itemmappings.nim main.ttw

Solution:

Actually reading the comments of the new configuration file helps .. a lot.

 

I had set the GameWorld type the old way:

<property name="GameWorld" value="Random Gen/>

 

This caused the problem. Correct is:

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

 

Hope this saves someone else a few hours -_-

 

Cheers!
