Learn how to adjust damage and combat behavior on your Over the Top WWI server → Find out more now
The damage settings in Over the Top WWI determine how deadly combat is and how weapons behave in the game. By adjusting these values, you can create a more realistic experience or a more relaxed and forgiving game environment.
Changing damage multipliers and combat mechanics can have a significant impact on how quickly players are eliminated and how battles play out.
FAQ
ShootingDamageMulti controls ranged weapon damage, while MeleeDamageMulti controls melee attack damage. Both are set in ServerConfiguration.ini.ShootingVelocityMulti controls projectile velocity, DragEffector controls velocity loss over distance, WindEffector controls how wind affects a bullet’s trajectory, and RandomEffectorr adds randomness to bullet movement.Feedback

Damage settings are defined 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. You’ll find the following parameters in the file:
ShootingDamageMulti = 100
MeleeDamageMulti = 300
ShootingVelocityMulti = 100
DragEffector = 30
WindEffector = 15
RandomEffectorr = 10
ShootingDamageMulti controls the damage dealt by ranged weapons
MeleeDamageMulti defines the damage dealt by melee attacks
ShootingVelocityMulti affects projectile velocity and can influence accuracy and hit detection
DragEffector determines how quickly bullets lose velocity over distance
WindEffector determines how strongly the wind affects a bullet’s trajectory
RandomEffectorr adds randomness to bullet movement, thereby affecting accuracy
By adjusting these values, you can create more realistic ballistic behavior or simplify the combat mechanics, depending on your server’s style.
After changing the ServerConfiguration.ini file, save it and restart your server. The new damage and combat settings will then be applied automatically.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained when the server 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 damage settings on your Over the Top WWI game server. These parameters let you fine-tune combat behavior and create a gameplay experience that’s perfect for your community.
If you have any questions or need help, our support team is available every day! 🙂
