Using the following command (on a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04)

./TerrariaServer.bin.x86_64 -config ./server_config.txt

with the contents of server_config.txt as:

autocreate=3
difficulty=1
worldname=TheWorld
seed=myrandomseed
world=/data/Worlds/world1.wld
worldpath=/data/Worlds/
password=supersecurepassword

The expected result is the creation of a large world (at /data/Worlds/world1.wld) in expert mode, however the actual result is a large world in classic mode.

Been playing around with it, and as far as I can tell this is a bug. Could someone please confirm or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thx

Figured out the solution, the contents of the config file must EXACTLY match the order of the example config file, otherwise out-of-order parameters get ignored.

A valid config file based on the above example looks like:

world=/data/Worlds/world1.wld
autocreate=3
seed=myrandomseed
worldname=TheWorld
difficulty=1
password=supersecurepassword
worldpath=/data/Worlds/

Thanks for the report, I've shared this with the programmers and its on our radar to look into.
