DAY OF DRAGONS DEDICATED SERVER CONFIG

Requires Day of Dragons Dedicated Server Version 1.0

Day of Dragons - Dedicated Server is available for both Linux and Windows. Servers are included with Day of Dragons on Steam and can be downloaded under Steam Tools which is available in your Steam Library (if downloading directly from Steam client) under the dropdown at the top left (check mark "Tools"). Day of Dragons Dedicated Server is also available via SteamCMD under app id 1088320.

Once installed, navigate to the "/Dragons/Saved/Config/LinuxServer or WindowsServer/" directory and edit the "Game.ini" file with a text editor.
On the first line, enter the following header exactly:

[/game/_dev/runtime/classes/dragonsgi.dragonsgi_c]

;Then underneath of the above header, you can input the following config options.

INTEGER CONFIGURATIONS

iServerType=0
;Value range 0-3. Default 0. Sets server game type. 0=PvP, 1=PvE, 2=DvE, 3=CvC.
PvP allows all forms of PvP.
PvE disables PvP entirely. Disables Elemental Faction.
DvE allows only Faction PvP.
CvC allows only Faction and Clan PvP.

iMaxPlayers=200
;Value range 1-200. Default 100. Set the player cap on the server. We recommend no more than 100 for best performance. Higher values recommended only for high-performance, dedicated, non-shared servers with fiber optic connections

iCorpseDespawnTime=300
;Value range 60 to 1500 seconds. Default 300. Determines how long in seconds corpses remain on the server before despawning. Recommend keeping this low on active servers to free up resources.

iAutoSaveSeconds=300
;Value range 60-3600. Default 300 seconds. Time in seconds between server autosaves.

iMaxClans=255
;Value range 2-255. Default 255. Allows servers to limit the number of clans on the server. Set to 0 to disable clan creation. In CvC mode, max clans is always 255.

iMaxClanMembers=1000
;Value range 10-1000. Default 1000. Allows servers to limit clan membership size. ImaxClans must not be set to 0 for this to work. If member size is changed, the server will disband any clan over the new limit on startup.

iGrowthRateMultiplier=1
;Value range 0-3. Default 1 is normal. Requires bDisableGrowth=False. 0 = 0.5x slow growth, 1 = 1.0x normal growth, 2 = 1.5x quick growth, 3 = 2.0x fast growth.

iMaxLatencyMS=0
;Value range 120 - 800 (miliseconds). Default 0 (disabled). Any value under 120 will be clamped to 120 except 0 which disables latency checks. Allows servers to cap the player latency (ping) in milliseconds. Players who exceed the allowed latency are auto-kicked by the server. Low latency connections may be important for some PvP servers.

iDailyRestartHour=0
;Value range 0 - 24. Default 0 (disabled). Any value under 0 or over 24 will be clamped within range. Values of 1-24 will enable the Auto Restart function which will initiate the auto Shutdown procedure at the top of the hour. Hours are in 24 hour format. 12 = Noon. 24 = Midnight. Times are in UTC. Please refer to UTC time conversions to set your restart time properly.

BOOLEAN CONFIGURATIONS

bForceLAN
;Value true or false. Default false. If True, should allow hosting a private Dedicated Server on a local area network. (untested)

bRoleplay=False
;Value true or false. Default false. If True, server browser type will be appended with the RP tag. Used to let players know that players will be expected to roleplay in character. Enables some Roleplay features on servers such as custom names. More features coming in the future.

bEnableGroupDamage=False
;Value true or false. Default false. True allows group members to damage each other when grouped if PvP or flagged.

bAlwaysShowAdminTags=False
;Value true or false. Default false. True forces admin tags to always show to all players on the server. Recommended for servers that want people to easily identify the admins.

bAlwaysShowPlayerTags=False
;Value true or false. Default false. Turning on will always show all player name tags regardless if grouped or clanned. By default nametags only show up on grouped or clanned players.

bChatShowClanTags=True
;Value true or false. Default false. This shows or hides clan tags in the chat box. Useful for forcing players to identify which clan they belong to when chatting. Disable to allow players to chat anonymously.

bUseFriendsList=True
;Value true or false. Default false. If enabled, only player steam ids listed below in sServerFriends can join your server. Players that are not in the sServerFriends list will be kicked automatically. Enabling this will show a lock icon on the server entry in the server menu.

bFlagHatchlingKillers=False
;Value true or false. Default false. If enabled, adult or elder dragons that kill hatchlings will be flagged with red glowing eyes for 20 minutes. Safelog will be unavailable to them while flagged. Option only available on PvP servers.

bForceNormalizedEggStats=False
;Value true or false. Default false. If true, all eggs spawn into the game with “E” stats removing the random genetic advantage from players who freshly spawn.

bDisableNesting=False
;Value true or false. Default false. If true, players will not be able to nest for skins or "upstat" on the server.

;Value true or false. Default false. If true then growth is disabled for this server and all eggs spawn adult-sized dragons.

You will need to create one if it is not there.

How can I make changes to players' dragons via server files? So you can change skin, growth stage or genetics for example?
