Enshrouded: Enshrouded Server Configuration
Enshrouded at launch has a few configuration parameters that you can customise to your likings. In this guide, we will explore all of the currently available configuration parameters and explain each in more detail.
Accessing your Configuration File
Firstly, you will have to access your configuration file in order to edit any parameters. There are multiple ways to edit this file.
- Via Webinterface
- Via WI Config file
- Via FTP
Via Webinterface
The most user-friendly method is by heading over to the Settings section on your gameserver's webinterface and searching for the appropriate settings there, as seen below:
Via WI Config File
The Server must be stopped before the config can be edited, editing the config and restarting the server will result in any changes being undone.
Alternatively, for users who wish to directly edit the raw file, you can access this by heading over to the Configs section on your gameserver's webinterface and pressing the blue edit file button, as seen below:
This will open up a text editor directly on the site to enable you to edit it.
Via FTP
The Server must be stopped before the config can be edited, editing the config and restarting the server will result in any changes being undone.
The final method of accessing the raw file, is through FTP. If you are not familiar with using FTP, we recommend you to have a look at the FTP file access guide. However, this method takes longer and if you wish to directly edit the file contents, we recommend simply using the Configs section on your gameserver's webinterface as mentioned.
Server Configuration Options
These are the currently available server configuration options that are provided by the game for customising your server, most notably the server name, password as well as some internal settings.
We do not recommending changing the Port, IP or Directory settings, as these are automatically configured by the gameserver. Changing these values may potentially break your gameserver!
| Parameter Name | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | ZAP-Hosting Docs Test | Your server's name |
| password | iLoveZAP!2024 | Lock the server behind a password (private) |
| saveDirectory | ./savegame (default) | Set a directory for where you want your saves to be stored |
| logDirectory | ./logs (default) | Set a directory for where you want your logs to be stored |
| ip | 123.123.123.123 | Public IP the server runs on |
| gamePort | 15636 (default) | The public port the server runs on |
| queryPort | 15637 (default) | The public port the server can be accessed through |
| slotCount | 4 | The max amount of players that can join the server (max 16) |
After you complete your changes, make sure to save the file where appropriate and restart your server. The next time your server starts up, it will use the settings that you have provided.
