Changing Server Settings in Night Of The Dead

To customize the server settings to your preferences (for example, change the difficulty, number of players, enable PvP/PvE or configure zombie waves), you will need to edit the ServerSettings.ini file. This file contains all the key settings, from basic to advanced. Below is a detailed guide on how to do this.

Open the configuration file

1. In the control panel of your server, select the Server Files section.

2. Go to the path:

LF/Saved/Config/ServerSettings.ini

Click on the file to open it in a text editor.

Configure the settings

In the file, you will see several sections with parameters. Here are the main server settings:
