while trying to launch a server running the server files for version 3.2.1 however im getting a error and this crash log which is something to do with the topography mod, this is preventing me from generating the world as a skyblock and defeating the whole point.

Have you changed server.properties at all? The generator-settings are invalid, which is causing this crash.

Please upload your server.properties file.

yes, several times but only in a attempt to actually make it work, first the generation type was blank, then i tried generator-settings={"Topography-Preset":"Sky Block"} as someone suggested, still no luck, and last i tried just doing topography, and none of those work, this is it how its currently set (sorry it wont accept the default format for uploading)

frankly none of it should matter cause topography should be handling the generation but that seams to be whats causing the error

Topography needs to know what preset to use; the generator settings must be valid json.

What you had originally should work, do you get a different crash report if you set it to generator-settings={"Topography-Preset":"Sky Block"}?

yes

no matter what i chance the world gen type to it always generates the same error

latest.log

Can you please upload your log? logs/latest.log

{"Topography-Preset":"Sky Block"}

Your generator-settings line has the " characters replaced with their HTML character code ".

How are you editing this file?

ive tried 2 methods, ive tried using filezilla and editing the properties file with a text editor, and i have also tried editing it with the interface the server rental service provides, which has among other things the line for terrain generation and a blank box for entering it, it seams no matter what i do the moment i start the server it converts the characters to the 34, i didnt know if that was a intentional function but i did find it odd.

not quite sure what you mean by that

This sounds like an issue on your host's end, where they convert characters that might have meaning in HTML to prevent attacks such as XSS. They should only be doing this when displaying the file, and not storing the escaped version.

Nothing on our end would convert these characters.

If you haven't already, try uploading the file using FTP and start the server without looking at the server properties in the browser.

Which part?

im assuming you mean access it with my filezilla program again and reapply and upload it but im not quite sure whta you mean by without looking at the properties

Don't go to any page on your server host's site that shows the contents of, or allows you to edit, the server properties.

Have the page with the button that you click to start the server open, upload the corrected server.properties file using filezilla, click start without refreshing, or going anywhere else on the host's website.

couldnt remember if i tried that or not so i did it again and still get the same crash

i have noticed something, when i edit the server property and upload it on filezilla if i go look at the settings from the server control panel it just shows up as this { that single character is all that shows up in the generation box if i upload it.

Can you please send the log from your attempt using the upload from filezilla?

thats what ive been using but ill upload the latest anyway
latest.log

Yep, same problem. This is unfortunately not an issue we can address, you will need to contact your server host as they are changing your server.properties file, breaking it.

ty for looking at it for me
