Accessing your Configuration File
Firstly, you will have to access your configuration file in order to edit any parameters. There are multiple ways to edit this file.
We highly recommend using the Webinterface method because MOE has a significant amount of configuration options as well as configuration files, which means it will take much longer to setup as opposed to directly editing values through the webinterface.
- Via Webinterface
- Via WI Config file
- Via FTP
Via Webinterface
The most user-friendly method is by heading over to the Settings section on your game server's webinterface and searching for the appropriate settings there, as seen below:
You will be able to see a wide variety of sections and settings in which you can directly edit the values.
Via WI Config File
The Server must be stopped before the config can be edited, editing the config and restarting the server will result in any changes being undone.
Alternatively, for users who wish to directly edit raw configuration files, you can access these by heading over to the Configs section on your game server's webinterface. To edit a configuration file, simply press the blue edit file button, as seen below:
This will open up a text editor directly on the site to enable you to edit it.
Via FTP
The Server must be stopped before the config can be edited, editing the config and restarting the server will result in any changes being undone.
The final method of accessing the raw file, is through FTP. If you are not familiar with using FTP, we recommend you to have a look at the Access via FTP guide. However, this method takes longer and if you wish to directly edit the file contents, we recommend simply using the Settings section on your game server's webinterface as mentioned.
Server Configuration Options
Here we have picked out some of the core and important server configuration options which you likely will want to change, including some internal settings.
We do not recommending changing the Port, IP or Directory settings, as these are automatically configured by the game server. Changing these values may potentially break your game server!
| Parameter Name | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | ZAP-Hosting Docs Test | Your server's name |
| password | iLoveZAP!2024 | Lock the server behind a password (private) |
| description | This is a cool server! | Add a description for your server |
| gamemode | PVE / PVP | Set the gamemode for your server |
| mapname | Central Island | Set the map for your server |
| difficulty | 1 | Difficulty of your world |
After you complete your changes, make sure to save the file where appropriate and restart your server. The next time your server starts up, it will use the settings that you have provided.
