1: Open up the file world_gen.txt file in the dwarf fortress\data\init directory
2: Paste the worldgen data you have into the file, make sure that it contains all the necessary data by comparing it to the other entries. You may want to change the [TITLE:---] to something descriptive.
3: save the file, start dwarf fortress, and generate a world using "design world with parameters" your world should now be listed among the other entries (medium, large etc) on the right side of the screen.
