Why shouldn't I change the port, IP address, server ID, or cluster ID myself?

ZapX sets the ports and IP address automatically. The server ID and cluster ID are tied to your game save and cluster, so only change them if you know exactly why you need to.

Introduction

Myth of Empires offers a variety of configuration options that let you customize your game server to suit your preferences. In this guide, we'll show you where to find the settings in ZapX and explain the most important startup parameters in detail.

Accessing the Settings

You can find all your server settings in the Configuration tab of your game server dashboard. There are two sections:

Startup Parameters: The most important basic settings, such as server name, password, map, and PvP mode, displayed as simple form fields.
Configuration Files: An AI scans your server files, identifies the relevant settings, and displays them as easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic. Select Edit directly to open a file in raw text view instead. The main Myth of Empires configuration file is Saved/Config/WindowsServer/GameUserSettings.ini.

After you save your changes, ZapX will offer to restart the server so they can take effect.

Important

ZapX passes the startup parameters directly to the server each time it starts. For this reason, always change the server name, password, map, PvP mode, player count, and the other values in the table below under Startup Parameters, not in a configuration file.

You can also access all files through the Files tab in your browser or via SFTP using a program such as FileZilla or WinSCP. For instructions on connecting via SFTP, see our SFTP Access guide.

Tip

If you edit a configuration file directly, it's best to stop your server first. If the server is still running, it may overwrite the file with its own values when it shuts down.

Startup Parameters

You can find these settings in the Configuration tab under Startup Parameters:

Field	Default value	Description
Server Name	`ZapX Myth of Empires`	Your server's name in the server list
Server Password	empty	Password required to join. If left empty, the server is public and requires no password
Map	`LargeTerrain_Central_Main`	The map your server starts with
PvP Mode	`1`	Determines whether and how players can attack each other
Max. Players	`25`	Maximum number of simultaneous players, up to 100
Admin IDs	empty	IDs of players who will receive admin rights on your server
Workshop IDs	empty	IDs of Steam Workshop mods your server loads on startup
Server ID	`100`	Identifier for this server within a cluster
Cluster ID	`1`	Identifier for the server cluster your server belongs to
Additional Startup Parameters	empty	Additional command-line parameters for the dedicated server

Info

The easiest way to manage mods is in the Workshop tab. Once you add mods there, ZapX populates the Workshop IDs field from that list each time the server starts. Learn more in our Installing Mods guide.

Warning

Only change Server ID and Cluster ID if you know exactly why you need to. Both values are tied to your game save and cluster. ZapX sets the ports and IP address automatically, and you can't change them using the startup parameters.

Separate multiple parameters in the Additional Startup Parameters field with spaces. Values that contain spaces aren't supported.
