Learn how to configure random map generation settings on your Over the Top WWI game server → Learn more
The random map settings in Over the Top WWI let you dynamically generate maps with varied terrain, vegetation, and environmental features. This greatly increases replayability and creates unique battlefields for every match.
By adjusting these values, you can control the map size, terrain complexity, and the number of objects such as forests, rocks, or buildings.

Random map 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. Many values are also available as form fields with explanations in the tab. Alternatively, open the file in the config folder under the Files tab. You’ll find the following parameters in the file:
RandomMapSizee = 450
RandomFields = 8.25
RandomCivBuildings = 0
RandomMilBuildings = 0
RandomForests = 8.5
RandomSingleTrees = 1.1
RandomBush = 5
RandomRocks = 1.1
RandomNoiseSetting = 0
RandomWaterHeight = 12.25
RandomMaxTerrainHeight = 26
RandomFrequency = 5
RandomLacunarity = 3
RandomPersistence = 32
RandomDesert = 0
RandomMapSizee defines the overall size of the generated map
RandomFields, RandomForests, RandomBush, RandomRocks control how many natural features appear on the map
RandomCivBuildings and RandomMilBuildings set the number of civilian and military buildings
RandomSingleTrees controls the placement of individual trees
RandomNoiseSetting, RandomFrequency, RandomLacunarity and RandomPersistence affect terrain generation and variation
RandomWaterHeight defines the water level
RandomMaxTerrainHeight controls the terrain's height and elevation
RandomDesert determines whether desert environments can appear
0 → Disabled
1 → Enabled
2 → Random
Adjust these values to create different types of maps—from dense forests and open battlefields to varied landscapes.
After editing the ServerConfiguration.ini file, save it and restart your game server. The new map settings will take effect when a random map is generated.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained after 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’ve successfully configured the random map settings on your Over the Top WWI game server. You can now create unique, dynamic battlefields that improve replayability and the player experience.
If you have any questions or need help, our support team is available every day! 🙂
