Configuration

Permadeath is controlled in the GameServerSettings.ini file. You can find this file in the Configuration tab of your game server (raw text view). In the config file, look for the following parameter:

Code

;When set to true the player that died will lose their character and have to create a new one
PermaDeath=false

PermaDeath=true – Enables permadeath. Players permanently lose their character upon death.
PermaDeath=false – Disables permadeath. Players can respawn with their existing character.

To enable permadeath, change the value to:

Code

PermaDeath=true

After making the change, save the file and restart the game server for the setting to take effect.
