Chat settings are configured in the ServerConfiguration.ini file. You can edit it in your game server dashboard under the Configuration tab: select the ServerConfiguration.ini file and click Edit directly to change the raw text. The tab also displays many values as form fields with explanations. Alternatively, open the file in the config folder under the Files tab. The file contains the following parameters:
AllowAllChat = 1
ServerMuteAll = 0
BannedWordsPathString = BannedWords.txt
AllowAllChat enables or disables global chat communication
0 → Disabled
1 → Enabled
ServerMuteAll mutes all players' chat when enabled
0 → Disabled
1 → Enabled
BannedWordsPathString specifies the name of the file containing terms that are not allowed in chat. The game creates BannedWords.txt automatically on the first startup
After the first startup, you can find BannedWords.txt in the config folder under the Files tab. Enter each banned term on a separate line. You can also include phrases with spaces. The list takes effect after the next restart.
Keep BannedWordsPathString set to the default value, BannedWords.txt. If you use a different file name or path, the list will no longer be in the config folder and will be lost during updates.
Adjust these settings to control how players can communicate and enforce chat rules on your server.
After editing ServerConfiguration.ini, save the file and restart your server. The updated chat settings will then be applied automatically.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained across restarts. The only exception is WhiteListIsEnabled: ZapX sets this value at every startup based on the Enable whitelist startup parameter. The server name, player count, and passwords are not stored in this file; you can set them under Startup Parameters in the Configuration tab.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the chat settings on your Over the Top WWI game server. This lets you manage player communication and create a controlled, enjoyable environment.
