Introduction

Spawn settings in Over the Top WWI control how and when players re-enter the battlefield. These settings directly impact pacing, fairness, and overall match flow.

By adjusting spawn timers, grace periods, and respawn behavior, you can create faster-paced gameplay or more tactical and punishing combat scenarios.

Configuration

Spawn 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:

SpawnGracePeriod = 15
AttackerRespawnTime = 8
DefenderRespawnTime = 8
WaveSpawning = 0
WaveLegnth = 300
WaveBuildUpTime = 90

• SpawnGracePeriod defines how long players can spawn without penalties or restrictions at the start

• AttackerRespawnTime sets the respawn delay for the attacking team

• DefenderRespawnTime sets the respawn delay for the defending team

• WaveSpawning enables or disables wave-based spawning

• WaveLegnth defines how long a spawn wave lasts

• WaveBuildUpTime controls how long it takes for a wave to fully form

Adjusting these values allows you to control whether players spawn individually or in coordinated waves, and how quickly they can return to the battlefield.

After modifying the ServerConfiguration.ini, save the file and restart your server. The new spawn behavior will be applied automatically.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully configured spawn settings on your Over the Top WWI server. These adjustments allow you to fine-tune gameplay pacing and improve the overall player experience.
