Spawn settings are defined in the ServerConfiguration.ini file. You can edit this file in your game server dashboard under the Configuration tab: select ServerConfiguration.ini 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:
SpawnGracePeriod = 15
AttackerRespawnTime = 8
DefenderRespawnTime = 8
WaveSpawning = 0
WaveLegnth = 300
WaveBuildUpTime = 90
SpawnGracePeriod defines how long players can spawn without penalties or restrictions
AttackerRespawnTime sets the respawn delay for the attacking team
DefenderRespawnTime sets the respawn delay for the defending team
WaveSpawning enables or disables the wave spawning system
WaveLegnth determines how long a spawn wave lasts
WaveBuildUpTime controls how long it takes for a wave to build up fully
These settings let you control whether players spawn individually or in coordinated waves, and how quickly they return to combat.
After adjusting ServerConfiguration.ini, save the file and restart your server. The new spawn behavior will then take effect automatically.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained after restarts. The only exception is WhiteListIsEnabled: ZapX sets this value on every startup based on the Enable whitelist startup parameter. The server name, player count, and passwords are not stored in this file. Set them under Startup Parameters in the Configuration tab.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the spawn settings on your Over the Top WWI game server. These adjustments let you fine-tune the pace of gameplay and improve the player experience.
