Worlds not detected by locally hosted server

Whenever i run the start-tModLoaderServer.bat file built into tmod loader's files and it asks me to select a world, it says i need to create one. I have various worlds in my saves and it has detected them before without issue but now seemingly cant find them. Im new to locally hosting for tmodloader and terraria as a whole and could not find this issue listed anywhere else.
