Over The Top: WWI Gameserverfrom 5.00€

Introduction​

Moderation tools in Over the Top WWI allow you to control player behavior and maintain a fair and enjoyable environment on your server. By configuring ban lists and moderation settings, you can restrict access, manage penalties, and provide clear instructions for players.

These settings are especially useful for community servers where active moderation is required.

Configuration​

Ban and moderation settings are configured inside the server configuration file. You can access and edit this file in your gameserver management panel under Configs. Locate and open the ServerConfiguration.ini configuration file. Inside this file, find the following parameters:

BanPathstring = Banlist.txt
TempBanPathstring = TempBanlist.txt
CustomUnBanString =

  • BanPathstring defines the file that contains permanently banned players

  • TempBanPathstring defines the file that contains temporarily banned players

  • CustomUnBanString allows you to define a custom message that tells players how to request an unban. Example: Discord link or website

Ban file usage​

The ban files are located in your server directory and contain player identifiers.

Each banned player should be listed on a new line inside the file:

SteamID1
SteamID2
SteamID3

These files are automatically read by the server to block access for listed players. Adjusting these settings allows you to define how bans are handled and how players can appeal them.

After modifying the ServerConfiguration.ini, save the file and restart your server. The updated moderation settings will be applied automatically.

Conclusion​

Congratulations! You have successfully configured ban and moderation settings on your Over the Top WWI server. This allows you to manage player behavior effectively and maintain a controlled server environment.
